I dunno, I read some review mention the words "jazz" and "2-step garage" in the
same paragraph...

Possibly the original "Sincere," but the genre has a lot of textures and shades.
Some of it housy, some of it R&B, some of it jungly, some of it like bigbeat.

I dance to it like hip-hop, just a more faster, almost at a semi-drum n bass
pace, sometimes I move to some of the syncopations. IMHO it's WAAAAY more
danceable than the four-on-the-floor of house, which for me is extremely
restricting, almost oppressive, with the kick drums dictating where and when to
move (had enough of that fascist groove thing!)
2-step has the same hihat groove of house, but the kick drum has more variety
and SPACE -- people use that space to fit their own groove, and that's what I
like about it.
