Oh yes absolutely I've been wondering if anyone else noticed this, In the US,
especially NYC there's a huge feeding ground between hiphop and dancehall -
witness Shyne (P.diddy's bitch) w/ Barrington Levys "Whooooaaaa Ehhhh!" Go back
to early breakbeats, mostly the proto-jungle stuff and its loaded with 80s
Dancehall samples, also many modern digi-riddims as instrumentals would easily
pass as IDM with a little bit of DSP tweakery. Riddims like Grass Cyart,
Streetsweeper, Medina (one of my favs) I'd love to see someone like Sean Paul
or Mr Vegas do a track with someone like Push Button Objects or Phonecia etc
might not work, but might work really well! For an excellent site on riddims

Or the amazing JamRid site:

- Its "Interactive"!
