The sound is very [[percussion instrument|percussion]]-heavy – a distinct holdover from bhangra – with a propulsive beat clearly designed for dancing. The dancehall influence can be felt through the use of pre-programmed music, similar to Dancehall "[[riddim]]s".
Lyrically, the style features a combination of [[Indian English|Sub-Continental-accented]] (usually Indian) vocals delivered in the clipped style associated with dancehall – and sometimes including [[Jamaican Patois|the Patois]] of the latter style.
This style is almost exclusively a British phenomenon, as the two cultures involved in its genesis mix reasonably freely there. The most successful exponent, however, is [[Apache Indian (musician)|Apache Indian]], who had a worldwide hit with "[[Boom Shack-A-Lak]]", which was included on the soundtrack to the film ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]'', among others.<ref name="tms2014"/>
