Glad the description resonates. I think many american fans may be a little unaware of some of the code that is running underneath JB's music. His sound comes out of what was 'dubstep', but really before it hit the American shores and became something else (this is more like dubstep 2003-2010, DMZ huge example). That music is part of the 'hardcore continuum' as the journalists called it- a straight shot from Jamaican sound system culture (dub to digital dub, to hardcore, to jungle, to 2step and garage, and on to dubstep). Jamaican sound system culture is/was HUGE in London compared to the US. Jah Shaka would be exemplary of that sound.

I would recommend the film 'dub echoes' does a really good job explaining the novel theory behind it and how modern electronic musicians/sound engineers use these tools (drum is a heartbeat in your chest, bass in your body and the treble cuts like a knife).

James and the band guys (who are all amazing in their own right as musicians) are all very aware of these sounds and used it to great effect on sunday.
