Genre Defining

The rise of the internet and digital music sharing made available a multitude of genres of dance music previously only heard in the grooviest nightclubs and dance halls. Once I was a little clubby (in my San Diego days). But now I am way too old to slip-n-slide around town anymore. Nevertheless, I never lost my taste for beats and bass. Perhaps my favorite electronic dance music micro-genre is the downtempo, hip-hop, chop sample, and Akai MPC driven music exemplified by the Deadbeats.
