Yeah, its difficult to dance to *for most people*, and that is by far Jungle's
biggest crutch.
But I tell ya, mixin DnB w/ Jazz or Soul or whatever takes nothing from the
original genres unless you are some one who is into minimalism (which there is
nothing wrong w/, cuz I used to be all into Detroit Minimal).
I don't like the term 'Euro-beats', cuz the beats didn't come primarily from
Europe, its just the culture there embraces them more.
As a side note, look at mainstream hip hop today, and how its getting all
*tech'ed* out and futuristic... a space ship is far from the ghetto...
infusion of Jungle is part of a broader theme goin on I think.
(thats my last 2 cents on this topic...)
