Pretty much anything with an ill breakbeat & a deep-ass bassline (ah, subwoofers; such sublime low-end, such animosity from the neighbors).
Otherwise, I dunno; funk, jazz, reggae, Indian & Pakistani folk music, Balinese trance rituals, 'world fusion' (what a lame-ass genre name), that wierd psychoacoustic electronic stuff...
