I'm not sure we are discussing the same music. The stuff I am talking
about has a very clearly defined structure and methodology to the
composition and the sound scape. It is not translatable to dub ambien or
even house. The best I can describe it genre wise is Club remixes of
modern pop.

I'm pretty sure Timberland discovered the technique and since he had his
string of hits in 2007/8 almost every new track that has been remixed or
made for the club sound. I'm not talking about house or trance or tech or
dnb. This is a completely seperate genre of music and in most of the world
is the most popular form of club music these days.

Alot of it seems to be derived partially from hip hop influenced beats and
definitely the hip hop producers have been pumping out the club tracks
using this technique over the past 2 years.
