Dear fellow music junkies,

I've been staying with my brother for the past month in Miami and
listening to him spin. He's been playing a lot of midtempo breakbeats
with strong instrumental hip hop roots. Our musical tastes tend to
overlap in a lot of areas. He has a track called "Pool" by Essa 3. I
think it's relatively old, but I have to say I'm hooked. I think that
kind of sound would work well in my set as well. Can anybody point me in
the direction of some of the better ambient breakbeat out there now. I
have a lot of atmospheric dnb, I'm not looking for more of that. I
guess I want it in the 90-110 bpm range. I'd like to give my midtempo
set a lot more ambient.

On a similar note, there is a beatless ambient track on one of those
Instinct comps with just NYC ambience (talking, footsteps, subway noises,
etc...). Does anybody know the name of it? Is it still available on
vinyl? I think it's ambient in its purest form in that it totally
creates its own atmosphere.
