The main thing is music that does not sound on popular radio stations, music that is not played by glamorous DJs, music that cannot be called commercial, music that gives joy and makes, in the literal sense of the word, shake your head and other parts of your body to the beat ...

If you are used to a straight kick, and not to a broken beat, and have never heard a breakbeat before (perhaps you were born on Mars and flew to Earth only yesterday), then this music will seem a little "strange" to you, although many have been listening to it for a long time , from the 70s, and enjoy untold pleasure.
