How do you determine what to listen to without the endless terminologies? If
you aren't aware of the terminology you might not get that chance to hear
it. I find terms like that to be my compass in a sea of endless music. We've
had this thread before...

Here's my stab at the questions, i'm sure someone can set me straight as i
am a bit new to this stuff. The only thing i think that is keeps coming from
house, is the tempo. That's about it. It tosses out the typical 4/4 beat and
experiments with more complex patterns of rhythm and odd time signatures...
it would not please a dancefloor of people who expect house. Is Dego the
father of this movement? A lot of the stuff i see to be in this genre seems
to takes influence from this guy. Although i was going through the Rebirth
of Cool 7 and found a couple of tracks in this vien. There is one killer
afro-beat type track on there produced by IG Culture that smokes and ends up
in some thick jazz vibe at the end.

peace,
aRgo
