Wonky (music) The "wet and unstable" sound of wonky is achieved with producing such mid-range basses using pitch bending, LFOs on lowpassing and highpassing, phasing, and delaying. The resonance parameters of the synth's LFOs are often high. These effects give the synth and bass unique "wonky" sounds, hence the name of the genre. Wonky is the name given to a fusion of dubstep and hip hop (particularly glitch hop) which first developed in the mid-to-late 2000s. Along with those main elements, it also has secondary influences such as IDM and its namesake, wonky techno. The term "wonky" has, since mid to late 2012, been associated with a new take on the dubstep style.

Though wonky music is united by the tendency to use unstable mid-range synths and unstable time signatures, every wonky music scene has its own specific traits in sound. Aquacrunk is made of slowed down, low-slung beats, with electronic mutterings and morphing basslines. Music | THE NATURAL CURRICULUM. Going Underground: New Music from Sao Paulo | Sounds and Colours. By Russ Slater - 09 May, 2011 On Monday May 9th we’ll be releasing a special compilation of new music from Sao Paulo. However, before that, and to get you into the mood, here’s a special Going Underground looking at some of the new artists making an impression in Sao Paulo.

Juliana R I’ve listened to “Fuga” one hundred times. It never gets boring! Juliana has released one, eponymously titled, album so far. It’s an album that is probably too mixed to be deemed a classic, but shows that this is an artist, whom, if she chooses the right path, could produce some real dynamite in the future. www.myspace.com/juliana.r Guizado I only heard Guizado’s Calavera album earlier this year. It would be interesting to hear how the album would sound on a dancefloor. Guizado is one of the most in-demand trumpet players in Sao Paulo and this has led him to collaborate with a number of people (he features on the amazing new album from Criolo).
