Imagine if they did the same thing with rock....this song has a slight carribean inflence..a new form of music has been invented!
I don't think it has anything to do with pretentiousness, it's just a different rhythm composition than a traditional dance/electronica song. The percussion is more defined and has more reverb, and the inconsistency of the bass line makes it sound a lot 'dirtier' than a dance song.
