A British genre of dance music from the 90s. Originated from sound system culture. The focus is on samples of breakdowns in classic soul songs, with many editing variations on the breaks. It’s what spawned drum and bass, breakcore, and so many other cool genres.
Imagine a catchy hip-hop beat pattern, but it gets repeated real fast. There is some song structure, then an overlay of a melody, sometimes vocals, but the center of it is a broken rhytm that gets your legs moving, kicking air, do a primitive tap dance to it. That’s like exploring a tact-to-tact consistent EDM music, but with some Game+ twist.
