Strictly speaking, different beasts (though there is crossover). But this
release features mixes that specifically incorporate 2-step rhythms.

I would venture to say - broken beat is more like acid jazz in that it
describes an effect, a vibe, an array of potential elements, while 2-step is
more like drum'n'bass in that there are certain formal, formulaic elements
that define it.

Anyone on this list that's been to the Co-op in London - ever heard any
"proper" 2-step there? Just curious.
