Anyway, you were looking for a term... it just sounds like jamming!
Similar to Jazz... just improvise on the music (melodies, drums, etc),
and bring in elements whenever (including segues such as drum, guitar,
or trumpet/sax solos). So, Dubtribe could be an electronic+acoustic
jam-session group.
I believe I've heard of Dubtribe before; I shall check them out!
Well, this is very much the elements to what is happening in Jazz-Hop.
US3 was able to use whatever that want from the Blue Note Record
archives and then they rap and play improv on top of these Blue Note
grooves. I think this can be done on house-derived grooves too.
For instance, I love playing my trumpet on top of "Atom Bomb" by DJ
Pierre. Actually, Atom Bomb is really a neat foundation groove for all
sorts of mixing.
