Drum and bass History[edit] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a growing nightclub and overnight outdoor event culture gave birth to a new electronic music style called rave music, which, much like hip-hop, combined sampled syncopated beats or breakbeats, other samples from a wide range of different musical genres and, occasionally, samples of music, dialogue and effects from films and television programmes. But rave music tended to feature stronger bass sounds and a faster tempo (127 to over 140) beats per minute (BPM) than that of early house music. By 1994 jungle had begun to gain mainstream popularity and fans of the music (often referred to as junglists) became a more recognisable part of youth subculture. Musical features[edit] Drum and bass incorporates a number of scenes and styles, from the highly electronic, industrial sounds of techstep through to the use of conventional, acoustic instrumentation that characterise the more jazz-influenced end of the spectrum.

Electro swing Electro swing is a musical genre combining the influence of (most commonly) vintage swing with contemporary production techniques or styles - the 'electro' part of the name. This might include house, hip hop, EDM or other predominantly computer-produced music but might also encompass anything contemporary such as scratching with an otherwise all-live band. The genre often incorporates loops, samples or melodies that deliberately reference a sound-palette (to the inclusion therefore of the dance moves and fashions) from the classic swing, jazz and big band era. Typically this is the period from the early 1930s to the late 1940s and would include music by Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Lionel Hampton and Benny Goodman among many others. Successful examples of the genre create a modern and dance-floor focused sound that is more readily accessible to the modern ear but that also retains the feeling of live brass and the energetic excitement of the early swing recordings.

Football & Fried Chicken - The Garden of Eden - The Garden of Eden I am a New England Patriots fan. There, I said it. Yes, I grew up in Colorado and yes, we live in Denver now. However, I truly became a football fan when I met Rob and that was in Boston... and the Patriots won three Super Bowl Championships while I lived in Boston! And to be fair, Denver lost three Super Bowls while I lived in Colorado. Anyway. Only in the past year have I become comfortable with the idea of occasionally frying food.

Hip house Hip house, also known as rap house or house rap, is a musical genre that mixes elements of house music and hip-hop. At its core, hip-house is an emcee rapping over a house beat.[1] The style rose to prominence during the 1980s in Chicago and New York.[2] Hip house originated in Chicago and quickly became popular across the U.S. and in the UK, with tracks like "Rok Da House" by UK producers the Beatmasters featuring British female emcees the Cookie Crew. Minor controversy ensued in 1989 when a U.S. record called "Turn Up the Bass" by Tyree Cooper featuring Kool Rock Steady claimed it was the "first hip house record on vinyl". The Beatmasters disputed this, pointing out that "Rok Da House" had originally been written and pressed to vinyl in 1986. The outfit then released "Who’s in the House?"

French house History and influences[edit] Terms, origins and variations[edit] The term "French house" was first used in Paris in July 1987. Jean-Claude Lagrèze, a photographer of parisians' nights created a couple of "French Touch" parties at The Palace to make people discover house music. These parties were driven by DJ Laurent Garnier, Guillaume la Tortue and David Guetta. This expression was printed, as part of a motto for French partygoers who liked house music, on a trendy jacket by Éric Morand for F Communications, in 1991. Prior to that (1996–2000), "French house" had been referred to among Europeans as "nu disco", "disco house" and "new disco". One of the biggest markets for nu disco at the time was Greece, especially Athens. In Ibiza, disco house took later another direction: it combined vocals and some elements from the UK's speed garage (a mid 1990s music style) with a local Latin flavor.

Spiced cinnamon sugar breakfast puffs « Five And Spice On the off chance that your holiday breakfast plan is not yet inscribed in stone; in case you aren’t already bound and determined to have a strata, or frittata, or sticky buns, or perhaps puffy pancakes or spoon bread; or maybe you’d like to just add some icing to your giant, decadent, multi-course holiday brunch cake; well then dear friends, may I venture a suggestion. I actually feel a bit ashamed that I’ve been holding this recipe from you for so long. It’s a recipe that may, in fact, deserve a little shouting from the rooftops. And, it’s a recipe with a history, which means stories. I didn’t know any of the stories when I first started baking the original version (this is a wholly different iteration, but we’ll get to that later), I just knew that I had the recipe copied down on an index card from my friend, and I had labeled it “breakfast puffs.” That right there is a flag of whatever color you flag really wonderful things with. For my own part, I’m a perennial noodler with recipes.
Grindie History[edit] Grime producer Statik is one of the main proponents of the genre and also one of the first to release an album containing only grindie tracks, on Grindie Vol. 1.[1][2] References[edit] Nu-funk Nu funk is a contemporary form of funk.[1] Since mid-1990s and further into the 2000s, a number of new bands have emerged that played original compositions intended to imitate the sound of deep funk bands. The concept usually includes using vintage musical instruments and recording equipment, as well as distribution via analogue record discs. However, an updated tighter sound is not uncommon as well. Stylistically, nu funk is somewhat close to jam bands. Nu-funk originated in Brooklyn in the 1980s[citation needed]. Nu funk artists[edit] In addition to the new wave of funk revivalists, music critics had cited other artists as having nu-funk sound (most of whom are usually classified as acid jazz): See also[edit] Recent developments in funk music References[edit] External links[edit]

English Pronunciation by G. Source Breaking News: Fake News Special! Nu jazz Nu jazz is a genre of contemporary electronic music. The term was coined in the late 1990s to refer to music that blends jazz elements with other musical styles, such as funk, soul, electronic dance music, and free improvisation.[1] Also written nü-jazz or NuJazz, it is sometimes called electronic jazz, electro-jazz, electric jazz, e-jazz, jazztronica, jazz house, phusion, neo-jazz, future jazz or Jazz-hop and electro-lounge. According to critic Tony Brewer, “Nu Jazz is to (traditional) Jazz what punk or grunge was to Rock, of course. [...] Overview[edit] Nu jazz typically ventures farther into the electronic territory than does its close cousin, acid jazz (or groove jazz), which is generally closer to earthier funk, soul, and rhythm and blues, although releases from noted groove & smooth jazz artists such as the Groove Collective, and Pamela Williams blur the distinction between the styles.
