I guess my understanding of beatdown is similar - slower (ie no faster than mid-120 bpm), deep as hell, soulful with detroit stylings.
http://www.beatdownsounds.net/ has a good description, though I wonder if it's simply a micro-genre. I just mention it because I've found a good amount of slower deep stuff recently (eg philpot records' releases) and wondered if there was perhaps more of this stuff that I was unaware of (beyond early house etc which is often slower), and so I thought 313 would be the best folk to ask about it. Please excuse my ignorance and bandying around of a buzzword I read in an interview :-) Client Services CCSU-ISTAR Level 27, Governor Macquarie Tower, Sydney, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telephone: 61 2 9228 5501 Facsimile: 61 2 9228 4435 __________________________________________________________________ This email message, including any attached files, is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
