Skippy, shuffling rhythms with chopped-up R&B vocals.
- Tempo, BPM
- 130–135

- London, mid 1990s
What it sounds like
A London take on house: the drums skip and shuffle instead of marching, and R&B vocals get chopped and pitched up. It's bouncy, a bit flirty and very 2000. It's back in a big way now.
