the widespread 'tropical' edm pop sound. timbale karrang-kangs and all that.
all of us here all love music that draws from jamaica; we all to some (often large degrees) view jamaica as a signifier of coolness and innovation. is that no longer the case though? is it now the complete opposite; if something's drawing from jamaica as a cultural influence it's going to be conservative and naff?
dancehall itself has even gone all thomas cook in the last few years.
