I can go on Beatport and listen to all the tunes, but I don't understand the structural elements that make it a "break."
Anyone who is in to them care to enlighten me? I found a few tunes I really enjoy....

just listen to them side by side with other genres. after awhile you'll notice the differences and similarities that make the breaks sound.
i don't think a written explanation would really help you any more than that would.
Thanks Duerr. Are they something that is often played in EDM clubs and I just haven't taken notice?
check out the stanton warriors...older chemical brothers is considered breaks...
it has something to do with drumbreaks...but the difference is obvious...its not 4x4 house...

Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
snarez
I do agree that the drum structure is different. There is no bass pedal on all 4 beats of a measure and as DD said, there is a definite snare.
Some go by this rule, while others don't though. Personally I like the 4 to the floor stucture of variants of house. This seems like it would be a pain to mix.

Breaks/Breakbeat = drum rhythms made up of "broken beats". Generally speaking the 3rd crotchet beat, namely the 2nd kick drum in a 4/4 phrase is staggered to the following off-beat resulting in a "broken" sounding drum loop.
Breakbeat... in it's simplest form.
Hope that helped
