I was aware of the connections between these styles but I didn't understand why it was so British, in term of ambience etc. Thanks for the head up.

to me, much of it (not all) is dnb version 2. because a lot of the same sounds and tricks are used. the wuuahh wu wu wuahh wonky buzzing bass is a signature sound in a lot of them. example:

it just has that grungy dingy ugly british vibe. i picture an overcast day in a dirty industrial city with people that have poor dental hygene.

Dubsteps very cool, especially Jah War and Round The World Girls.

You just named two reasons (among others) why I like dubstep.
It sounds like drum'n'bass and it sounds British.
Oh, and music is one of Britain's best exports.
