RE: Quantisation Theory
I'll argue with that. That main beat shouldn't swing as you say... but at higher tempos, say hard trance, techno, psychedelic... swinging can eat up the energy! Especially a swinging beat! not so in breaks, to be sure, but driving beats are hard to fit a reasonable swing into.
I work with "essex" so i know that's what he means. But his melodies DO swing, and the basslines often do... just not the beats, and I agree, for that brand of music.
You could have been clearer, yo! hehehe
That said, swing is integral to the groove in downtempo, house etc... stuff meant to be more soulfull... (friggin adjectives!)
