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."
