I have never heard Dillinja, LTJ Bukem, 4 Hero, Lemon
D or Photek ever use a 2-step beats.
And then there are producers like Dom & Roland that
have both 2 step and amens throughout a tune. Check
"Can't Punish Me" on Moving Shadow.

to 4/4 techno complain about 2-step.

track? They have done A LOT of downtempo tracks.

hear Miles Davis.
