Jungle had DJ Rap and drum'n'bass had Nicolette, there are probably a lot of others, but they do appear to be relatively few and far between. re Grime 2, it does Gutta, it does.

This is probably most blatant with trip hop, but every sector of electronic music is plagued by this fact. While not limited to electronic music (metal has a similar problem), electronic music definitely high lights this fact.

'Women Respond To Bass', as Renegade Soundwave once postulated. Grime 2 sounds pretty weak now, doesn't it? yes, Burial more closely alligned to Rhythm & Sound, with all the crackle and distressed textures…and Burial Mix label too…
