Trancehall? Regarding Guardian's music blog

The Guardian’s Scene and Heard blog reports on a little phenomenon called ‘trancehall,’ a hybrid of arpeggiated synths and dancehall beatitude. Just discovered John McDonnell’s blog and find his judicious and insightful posts quite on the money. He picked up earlier on another trend he dubbed trance-hop, something most astute listeners picked on but maybe failed to declare within American shores. Cross-pollination between techno and hip hop is always healthy. Just check Benga, Flying Lotus and the like if you don’t believe me.
