    Does anybody know the Asian Dub Foundation here? I didn't really know in which subforum I could put them. They play some mix between reggae and elctronic music, sometimes it also sounds a lot like hip-hop. I always listen to them with my friends, the atmosphere it creates is cool for smoking-drinking gaterings. ^^

    From Wikipedia:

    Asian Dub Foundation     is a British alternative electronica band, that play a mix of breakbeat, dub, dancehall and ragga, also using rock instruments, acknowledging a punk influence.

    Well that's pretty nice definition, and I think you can freely put them under the breakbeat label, since still this is the most dominant in their music.

    And you were close with the "hip-hop" part, since it's a subgenre of breakbeat.
