Just re-posting this question I asked a little while ago hoping somebody
might have some ideas:
"The other day at work some one put on a CD of some "dance hall" like
music. I
don't know if that's what it would be called because it was somewhat
slower than
the little dance hall that I've heard, and invariably had a kick hit on
one and
four, and snare on seven of an eight beat measure (like on some
commercial hip hop
I've been hearing around). The beats and instrumental elements were very
sparse
(sometimes a bit quirky, and on a few of the tracks, even a bit glitchy
and
"electronic" sounding), and the music relied mostly on the beautiful
aggressive
scratchy Caribbean voices on top of it. I was wondering if anybody could
tell me
first; what the music is called, and second; if they have heard of, or
heard any
electronic experimentation involving this kind of music as a starting
point."
Thanks,
Christophe
