Maybe it's just my d&bish biased ears, but i hear a
lot of deep, soulful stuff mixed with a little splashy
experimentation. I think that sound will stay because
there's so much room to explore, and for me it has
that extra edge that makes things exciting. Examples
that come to mind: amon tobin, k&d, uhhhhhhh i'm
drawing a blank. hope my point comes across...
