it's the marriage of black dance music coming out of Chicago and Detroit and (jungle obvs) with the punitive aesthetics of industrial/avant-garde noise, but without being Coil making acid or whatever. it's very much part of some kind of nebulous rave scene and isn't really that much to do with neo-EBM or whatever. imagine if we followed the nuum from Europe and not the UK, and naturally it would have taken us a few years to be exposed to jungle proper. It's far less to do with manipulation of voices, breakbeats or old jazz funk/soul samples, but pure electronics.
this is one of my favourite mixes of this kind of aesthetic convergence, (non)genre. it's not really deconstructed/post-club because a certain kind of soundworld has to be maintained. although i don't doubt some of the anthropologists will scoff on here - even though it's acceptable to play combined sets of new wave, minimal synth and post-punk.
