I have had some similar reactions!
Take the Embassy Mix of Neon Phusion's "How Time Flys"
It's even got some fretless bass work in it. It's a little vintage
sounding, but still could blend in (and stand out of) a US r'n'b
set... More the Jodeci set than the Destiny's Child type of thing :)
Also, has anyone noticed Jazznova's recent tendency to write beats
that are damn near 2-step garage? On the two latest remixes for Tates
Place and Incognito.... None of the 2-step bass mind you, but the
similarity reminds. Ticky hats, tight snares, heavy heavy
syncopation.... Way cool.
Viva Genre Independence!!
