Filthstep didn't sound anything like what I was expecting. But I didn't really know what to expect. So then I selected some genres for which I could confidently propose an exemplary piece. Ragga jungle: precisely correct. Chicago blues: nailed it. Ragtime: the very archetype. Schranz: maybe that's the intro of a track that eventually meanders into schranz, but the clip on hand is way off. Swedish pop: pretty good. Glitch hop: no way. Gospel singers: US centric, but OK. Nigerian Hip Hop: yeah that's sort of valid in the sense that 2Baba is a Nigerian hip hop producer, but that sample is neither especially Nigerian nor particularly hippy-hoppy. Electro swing: all thumbs up. Bury St Edmunds Indie: A truly sublime blend of Sudbury angst and Lavenham melancholy, virtouosly caramelised in Ipswich je-ne-sais-quoi. (Yes of course I'm joking about that last one; the combination of specific location with vague genre is just absurd.)

This seems like a useful tool for discoveling new sounds, but when it comes to finding out what Polish free jazz really sounds like, I wouldn't trust it one bit.

I believe Bury St Edmunds _does_ have an established indie scene... Not sure if it developed it's own sound though?

Bury St Edmonds is musically interesting.
