This thread prompted me to do a bit of digging around the interweb, and there does seem to be some interesting stuff coming from the drumfunk / choppage 'scene.' As far as I can tell, this is based on answering the question 'what would have happened if intelligent drum and bass had remained the (experi)mental end of dancefloor music instead of turning into Courtney Pine's arse?' The answer seems to be atmospheric pads and mashed up (often amen) breaks - but it's nice to see something finally getting away from the two-step rhythm. Some of it gets a bit niiiiiice, but there's some cool harder edged stuff as well. Does anyone know any more about this music and where to find it?
The other thing I've learnt is that there's a subgenre of drum and bass called clownstep. I /want/ it...
