Skacid music
A sub-genre of house music, skacid is the blending of Jamaican ska with acid house (house music usually based on the TB-303 and TR-909). It is a close relative and predecessor of Jungle. The most famous artist is Longsy D who was popular in the late 80's and early 90's and likely coined the term "skacid." Skacid is also closely related to hip-house, like Jungle Brothers "Girl I'll House You".
9 Nuances of Skacid
Revl9n release SKACID remix EP
WetGossip.com says...Just when you think a genre is dead, someone comes along to revive it.
I haven't heard the album yet, but Revl9n has released an EP entitled "Waiting For Desire: 9 Nuances of Skacid" which contains all skacid remixes of their song "Waiting For Desire".
This Swedish experimental rock/electro group has great taste so this is bound to be good.
Here's the track listing. (It appears they've also provided an accapella so you can do your own remix!)

- Hello. If I could live my life all over again, I would choose to be part of Skacid - being President sucked donkey balls.
