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?

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. This subgenre was known as "hardcore" rave but from as early as 1991, some musical tracks made up of these high-tempo break beats, with heavy basslines and samples of older Jamaican music, were referred to as "jungle techno", a genre influenced by Jack Smooth and Basement Records, and later just "jungle", which became recognised as a separate musical genre popular at raves and on pirate radio in Britain. Musical features[edit] Influences[edit] Tempo[edit]

Dubstep. Towards the end of the 2000s and into the early 2010s, the genre started to become more commercially successful in the UK, with more singles and remixes entering the music charts. Music journalists and critics also noticed a dubstep influence in several pop artists' work. Around this time, producers also began to fuse elements of the original dubstep sound with other influences, creating fusion genres including future garage, the slower and more experimental post-dubstep, and the harsher electro house and heavy metal influenced brostep, the latter of which greatly contributed to dubstep's rising mainstream popularity in the United States.[9] Characteristics Musical score of the above recording. The music website Allmusic has described Dubstep's overall sound as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals Rhythm Dubstep rhythms are usually syncopated, and often shuffled or incorporating tuplets.

Wobble bass. Folktronica. Folktronica or electrofolk is a genre of music comprising various elements of folk music and electronica, often featuring samplings of acoustic instruments—especially stringed instruments—and incorporating hip hop or dance rhythms.[1][2] Typically, computers are used during the recording process.[3] History[edit] References[edit] Jump up ^ Smyth, David (April 23, 2004).

Category:Grime artists. 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 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. [...]

The songs are the focus, not the individual prowess of the musicians. Nu Jazz instrumentation ranges from the traditional to the experimental, the melodies are fresh, and the rhythms new and alive. It makes Jazz fun again.” Overview[edit] History[edit] Notable artists[edit] See also[edit] Sources[edit] "A Flourish of Jazz", Time Magazine article, including mention of the use of electronics in jazz fusion. References[edit] External links[edit] Underground hip hop. Aesop Rock performing at Irving Plaza NYC in fall 2007 Underground hip hop is an umbrella term for hip hop music outside the general commercial canon.[1][2] It is typically associated with independent artists, signed to independent labels or no label at all.

Underground hip hop is often characterized by socially conscious, positive, or anti-commercial lyrics.[3] However, there is no unifying or universal theme – Allmusic suggests that it "has no sonic signifiers".[2] "The Underground" also refers to the community of musicians, fans and others that support non-commercial, or independent music.

Music scenes with strong ties to underground hip hop include alternative hip hop and horrorcore. Many artists who are considered "underground" today, were not always so, and may have previously broken the Billboard charts.[4] Style[edit] History[edit] Early[edit] In hip hop's formative years, the vast majority of the genre was underground music, by definition. 2000s[edit] Indie hip hop[edit] Acid jazz. Name and characteristics[edit] Various origins have been attributed to the name of the genre, including by DJs Gilles Peterson,[1] and Chris Bangs. The name is a play on the acid house genre, which was flourishing in the UK club scene in the 1980s.[2] Gilles Peterson, often credited with originating the genre, pictured in 2004 History[edit] Origins in the United Kingdom[edit] Acid jazz originated in the London club scene of the mid-1980s, with DJs of the rare groove movement, who played obscure jazz records.

US scene[edit] International scene[edit] Acid jazz soon gained an international following, including in Japan, Germany, Brazil and Eastern Europe.[3] From Japan, United Future Organization gained an international reputation, signing an American record deal in 1994.[10] Other notable artists from Japan included Mondo Grosso,[4] and Gota.[11] From Eastern Europe came bands such as Skalpel from Poland.[12] Decline and influence[edit] Key artists[edit] Other notable artists[edit] See also[edit]
