Please educate me on old tracks/precursors that sound like Tessela jams (raw & syncopated a la 'Nancy's Pantry', 'Hackney Parrot')?

Are you already familiar with early Omni Trio? Specifically:
"Renegade Snares" (Original mix):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKPlj4PkQZw
"Step Off" (Gold Blend remix):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dab28I46E9c
"Mystic Stepper":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaI91UFdPxA
"Stronger":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZYCuqSZkUc

(I don't know why I couldn't put all of those in the same post)
I only listened to "Hackney Parrot"; you're going to want to investigate Suburban Base and Moving Shadow records circa 1992-1993 for all sorts of different iterations on this theme, with this as a starting point:

(of course if you already know all that stuff, never mind)
Thanks Dan. I love Omni Trio but hadn't heard all those tracks...back in the day I sought out fast, arty jungle/d&b (like approaching 150bpm and up) but was generally ignorant of any slower, rave-ier stuff. Maybe breakbeat hardcore is the wrong term for what I'm looking for?

Had you heard/seen this Suburban Base comp: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Sub-Base-For-Your-Face-LP/master/83858
Not quite the same breakneck speed as the Speed Limit series due to timing but a lot of the same acts, and in some cases iterations of Speed Limit-era tracks at a more languid tempo
(Don't know if there's an analogous Moving Shadow comp; also maybe Reinforced should be in this conversation as a label to investigate)

Nope, will check it out.
Maybe a more accurate question -- say Tessela and Blawan tracks from a few years ago are basically hybrids of techno and breakbeats/UK garage/etc, is that a relatively new thing, or an update of a classic-era style?
I've got holes in my dance music history because I was always attracted to the fringier, less functional side of whatever was going on at the time.
