I heard this again, after years apart from it haha. Listen and conclude for yourself.

I know it's not strictly dubstep. It is interesting though.

Maybe benga, skream et al were trying to make Art of Noise tunes.

But remind yourself that this is a half time beat in the 140bpm region and has bass, space and pace to it.

This was back in the 80s.

If that came out today there would be no question it was dubstep O.o WAY ahead of it's time!

Awesome tune too.

yeah, 1:30 and 3:00 in that video version have been sampled ad infinitum

I also note an open kick @ 2:30 which has probably already made its way into our 12th gen sample kits long since.

What a groove! As I'm listening again, it's hard for me to believe I haven't heard it before, the whole thing sounds so familiar*. Here's the extended, non-video mix with some extra riffs in the later half:

This kind of extended chillout crunk reminds me of Bass Mekanik. Love it.

*Come to find out it's on the GTA:Vice City soundtrack, there we go. Guess Rockstar heard the Miami in this track too.
