Hip house , also known as rap house , is a musical genre that mixes elements of house music and hip-hop . The style rose to prominence during the 1980s in Chicago and New York . [ 1 ] Hip House originated in Chicago and quickly became popular across the U.S. and in the UK, where it was copied 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."

Drum and bass ( / ˈ d r ʌ m ə n d ˈ b eɪ s / ) (also written as drum 'n' bass and commonly abbreviated to D&B , D+B or DnB ) is a type of electronic music which emerged in the mid-1990s. [ 1 ] The genre is characterized by fast breakbeats (typically between 160–180 beats per minute , [ 2 ] occasional variation is noted in older compositions), with heavy bass and sub-bass lines. [ 3 ] Drum and bass began as an offshoot of the United Kingdom rave scene of the early 1990s. Over the first decade of its existence, the incorporation of elements from various musical genres led to many permutations in its overall style.

Dubstep

Dubstep ( / ˈ d ʌ b s t ɛ p / ) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London , England . It emerged in the late 1990s as a development within a lineage of related styles such as 2-step garage , broken beat , drum and bass ( jungle ), and dub reggae . [ 1 ] In the UK the origins of the genre can be traced back to the growth of the Jamaican sound system party scene in the early 1980s. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The music generally features syncopated drum and percussion patterns with bass lines that contain prominent sub bass frequencies. The earliest dubstep releases date back to 1998, and were usually featured as B-sides of 2-step garage single releases. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep

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 ] [ edit ] History Folktronica was coined by music writer Jim Byers on the now-defunct website BurnitBlue.com, during the proliferation of labels like Manchester 's Twisted Nerve , responsible for the emergence of Badly Drawn Boy , but with its origins in electronica. It was later used when describing the music coming from Kieran Hebden and his Four Tet project in 2001. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 2 ] In 2001, postmodern pop artist Momus released an album titled Folktronic deliberately exploring (and satirizing) the fusion. [ 6 ] A similar genre is "Laptop folk", which refers to a slightly more minimalistic electronic folk.
Nu jazz is an umbrella term 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 . 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_jazz

Underground hip hop

To be yourself you gotta know you're self 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.
Acid jazz is a musical genre that combines elements of jazz , funk and hip-hop , [ 1 ] particularly looped beats. It developed in the UK over the 1980s and 1990s and could be seen as tacking the sound of jazz-funk onto electronic dance : jazz-funk musicians such as Roy Ayers , Asha Puthli , Donald Byrd and Grant Green are often credited as forerunners of acid jazz. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Acid jazz has also experienced minor influences from soul , house , and disco . While acid jazz often contains various types of electronic composition (sometimes including sampling or live DJ cutting and scratching), it is just as likely to be played live by musicians, who often showcase jazz interpretation as part of their performance. The compositions of groups such as Jamiroquai , Galliano , Urban Species , The Brand New Heavies and Incognito often feature chord structures usually associated with jazz music.
