Speaking of Nu-Jazz/Broken Beat/West London House/whatever...
I just got the Nubian Mindz's "New World Chaos" and must say that it is some
of the funkiest sh+t I've heard in quite a while. A bit of rumbling drum &
bass, new school breaks, Detroit techno/electro ala Underground Resistance,
deep jazzy house. Always keeps me on my toes and at the edge of my seat.
Nubian Mindz seem to be on the darker more techno edge of this movement. Now
my question: is anyone else making this edgier broken beat stuff without
going straight into the drum & bass?
Thanks

Garage and "the West London New School Breaks" sound as it's being referred
to here are pretty different. 2-step is essentially garage with a
breakbeat.
The new school breaks are more funk oriented from what I can decipher as a
listener who hasn't bought anything but the 2000 Black comp.
