When athletic height jumping was considered done and perfected, there was the Fosbury flop which opened new possibilities. Do you think there was such a moment in the music history? When someone showed how things can be done and from there everyone is using his/her technique?
Jamaican Soundsystems. They invented the idea of having a DJ on stage who plays records for a crowd, instead of a band that plays the songs life. The concept of modern club culture is based on it. Kool DJ Herc, who invented HipHop was from Kingston.
Jamaican dub. The concept of the engineer as artist and producer and also the idea of remixing comes from dub, which was invented by people like King Tubby and Lee Scratch Perry. The way most modern genres are produced (by an engineer, without a band) originated from dub.
