Breakfast

Breakfast is the primary alias of American electronic producer Casey Keyworth, who emerged in the mid-2000s as a standout talent on Ferry Corsten's Flashover Recordings. His sound identity is defined by a sophisticated blend of progressive trance and melodic house, characterized by crystalline production and a signature use of plucked, delay-heavy synth leads.

Keyworth's work arrived during a pivotal transition in trance, moving away from the harder, more industrial sounds of the late 90s toward a more polished, 'oceanic' aesthetic. Critically, he is often cited for his ability to maintain a high level of musicality and complex arrangement within a genre that can sometimes fall into formulaic tropes. His career arc saw him become a staple of the global trance circuit, with his tracks receiving heavy rotation from A-list DJs like Tiësto and Armin van Buuren. Despite the project's name being shared by several other acts, Keyworth's Breakfast remains a touchstone for fans of the 'Flashover sound,' representing a peak era of melodic electronic music that prioritizes atmosphere and emotional resonance over pure aggression.
