Their style was initiallyuptempobreakbeat house and techno, and has progressed to hardcore, jungle, and drum ‘n’ bass. Comparisons have been drawn between themand EastLondon band Shut Up and Dance, with both bands evolving in the early 1990s as a rapprochement between the breakbeat-drivenAfrican-diasporic musical structures of hip-hop and reggae, and the dark, European reconstruction of the techno sound popularised by the likesof JoeyBeltram, CJ Bolland, and Mundo Muzique. 4hero both embraced the dynamics of populist rave culture, and maintained an avant-gardestatus asinnovative and experimental producers. They trail blazed genre-crossing studio techniques like timestretching and pitch-shifting. « hide |
