yeah, problem is not everyone understands that
when you ask what tunes are "classic beatdown tracks" and then start
attaching specific records to it you risk narrowing down what is a feeling
the Paradise Garage, in addition to being a place, used to be a particular
feeling and then it turned into a particular sound called Garage - a pretty
narrow definition of the entirety of what was played at the Paradise Garage
might I add. I'm sure the DJs at the Garage were keen to avoid labels too.
They just played good music.
See what I'm saying?

Re: (313) Classic beatdown tracks?
I think what the guys are getting at is that Beatdown is a particular
feeling rather than a sound. They're quite keen to avoid labels for types
of music.
