Oh yeah, and this Cousin Cockroach song from Bitasweet—same label as those Seiji and Mark de Clive-Lowe tracks—recently got reissued by Berceuse Heroique, for proof of broken beat's enduring influence... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqAV44aHagA
I tell you, 4 Hero are one of THE most important British musical production duos ever. Interesting Berceuse Heroique re-issued this - I wouldn't have said broken beat was in their wheelhouse. Shows how wrong I am.
Seiji's "Loose Lips" is SUCH an anthem. I always liked broken beat best when it had that kind of lean dancefloor focus. I tended to lose interest as it got a little noodlier.
BTW I didn't manage to fit this Seiji song in but it is one of my utter favourites. (And used to be my DJ secret weapon.) I once recommended it to Jyoty but no idea if she ever played it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhRugOQnlq0

Mark de Clive-Lowe's "Move on Up" was another one that really nailed the balance between jazz-funk and dancefloor vibes for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLxoEQmiIjU
ooooh I like a bit of noodle too - like Feed the cat. That Mark de Clive Lowe tune is briliant. I didn't know it.
