    They're very closely - related cousins...share a lot in common. Here's what
    I spot are the distinct differences:

    2-Step Garage: Predominantly R&B, Drum n Bass, Ragga sounding, heavier
    bass, housey hi-hats, distinct swing, chopped vocals, part one - build -
    part two structure, 130-140 BPM

    Broken-Beat: Predominantly Jazz, Brazilian, Latin sounding, 16-note
    hi-hats, subtle or no swing, ambient-sounding synth pads, more
    subdued/mellow bass sound, HEAVY syncopation, more freeform structure,
    120-130 BPM
