I'm a sucker for pop, so's I buy everything the PSB put out. What made
this track is that it uses sped-up breakbeats, but doesn't sound
drumNbassish because they obviously haven't listened to much drumNbass,
they just got the gist of dNb w/o the cliches. Of course it's not
authentic dNb, not even close, but that's its strength.
I'd say EBTG's "Before Today" is another top pop dNb track. Especially
the way the quirky synth melody works w/ the fast tempo. Be sure to check
out the new single.
