was thinking about this after the Principe thread. yes you'll get raucous, almost industrial ragga tracks, power soca at carnival can be as intense as gabba, chabi can be overstimulating in the hands of the right practitioner I.E: sadat or Islam Chipsy.
But the paranoid, lost in the void aesthetic only really seems to exist in US and UK creole musics. from 88 chicago acid to horrorcore to drill to dubstep. Obviously I'm overgeneralising. yes there is some EBM that hits that level, a lot of industrial techno, but again in the case of the latter the best stuff in that genre (hard to avoid value judgments here) is indebted more to chicago than it is coil or whatever. Obviously a lot of nerd electronics.
But why is this?
