House Music is a collection of styles of electronic dance music,most house music is a 4/4 beat (a prominent kick drum on every beat) generated by a drum machine or other electronic means (such as a sampler)...Summer of Love....house in the new millenium
Nu-jazz (sometimes electro-jazz or phusion) was coined in the late 1990s to refer to styles which combine jazz textures and sometimes jazz instrumentation with electronic music. It ranges from combining live instrumentation with beats of jazz house. 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 jazz artists such as the Groove Collective blur the distinction between the styles.
Deep house is a style of house music. It is loosely defined by the following characteristics that distinguish it from most other forms of house music: relatively slow tempo (110–125 bpm); de-emphasized percussion, including: simpler drum machine programming; gentle transitions and fewer "build-ups"; less "thumpy" bass drum sound; less pronounced hi-hats on the off-beat; sustained chords or other tonal elements that span multiple bars; increased use of reverb, delay, and filter effects; Modern Deep House artists and DJ's include: Miguel Migs, Lisa Shaw, Gaelle, Latrice Barnett and more.
Electroclash describes a style of fashion, music, and attitude that fuses new wave, punk, & electronic dance music with somewhat campy and absurdist post-industrial detachment - alongside vampy and/or camp sexuality
Hard house is a style of electronic music that evolved from mixing techno and house music in the 1990s. Hard house is typified by a set formula of up-tempo straight hard compressed kick drums, signature acid house style basslines and the us
Downtempo (sometimes DownTempo, down tempo or downbeat) is an umbrella term for a laid-back electronic music style slower than house music (less than 118 beats per minute) but separate from ambient music. This can encompass specific genres such as lounge music, chill out, trip-hop, or acid jazz. It is usually intended more for relaxing and socializing than dancing, though some releases are produced for the dance floor. The downtempo genre draws heavily on dub, hip hop, jazz, funk, soul, drum 'n' bass, ambient music, and pop and is often confused and/or mated with closely-related styles like IDM, trip hop, and acid jazz.
Rare groove is an umbrella term that refers to to relatively obscure funk and soul tracks from the 1970s. Originally coined by Kiss FM DJ Norman Jay in 1985 through his show The Original Rare Groove Show, 'rare groove' tracks have been infl
Since the 1960s, most African popular music incorporates traditional local vocal, instrumental, and percussive styles, but also draws heavily on rock, reggae, and/or hip hop. For example raï, which originated in Algeria and spread throughout North Africa and to the North African diaspora, especially in France, began with topical songs based in the local traditional music, but, starting around 1980, began to incorporate elements of hip hop.
Breaks and breakbeats are rhythms characterised by their use of syncopation and polyrhythms, which are prominent in all music of African origin, including much Afro-American music.
Electro (also known as Electro-Funk or Electro Funk) is an electronic style of hip-hop culture movement that is directly influenced by Kraftwerk, Jazz-Funk and Funk records (unlike earlier rap records that were closer to disco). Records in the genre are unabashed about their use of electronic and artificial sounds, taking this technological fetish almost into science fiction with many records about space travel and futuristic dystopias. Timing range is 100 to over 130 beats per minute(BPM). Electro is a derivative of the '[ Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer, Roland SVC-350 Vocoder, Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus, Roland VP-330 Vocoder ]' Drum machines & Vocoder's Speech Synthesizer. Electro's sound is distinctively synthetic, instrumental, electronic and experimental. Additionally, the 808 drum machines pounding beats and pure sounds were heavily used in Rap, Disco and Funk music. It was very popular in New York City during the late 1970s and early 1980s and experienced a revival in the late 1990s.
Trance music is generally characterized by a tempo of between 130 and 160 bpm, featuring repeating melodic synthesizer phrases and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track, often crescendoing or featuring a breakdown.
Hip hop music (also referred to as rap or rap music) is a style of popular music. It is made up of two main components: rapping (MCing) and DJing (audio mixing and scratching). Along with breakdancing and graffiti (tagging) these are the fondamental of this culture.
De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising (1989) was perhaps the first "alternative hip hop" blockbuster, and helped develop a specific style called jazz rap, characterized by the use of live instrumentation and/or jazz samples. Other less popular forms of hip hop include various non-American varieties; Japan, Britain, Mexico, Sweden, Finland, France, Germany, Italy and Turkey have vibrant hip hop communities. In Puerto Rico, a style called reggaeton is popular. Electro hip hop was invented in the 1980s, but is distinctly different from most old school hip hop (as is go go, another old style). Some other genres have been created by fusing hip hop with techno (trip hop) and heavy metal (rapcore). In the late 1980s, Miami's hip hop scene was characterized by bass-heavy grooves designed for dancing -- Miami bass music.
Acid house is a variant of house music characterized by the use of simple tone generators with tempo-controlled resonant filters
a gradual build-up of energy within progressive music track or throughout an album.
Techno is a form of electronic music that emerged in Detroit, mid-1980s with influences from electro, chicago house and Germany, which subsequently developed in the 1990s into numerious and varied subgenres. The term "techno" is incorrectly
Drum and bass (commonly abbreviated dnb) is a type of electronic dance music also known as jungle.Over the first decade of its existence, drum and bass saw many permutations in style, incorporating everything from reggae and jazz to techno
Brokenbeat is an electronic music genre first appearing at the beginning of the 21st century. Early brokenbeat music first appeared on the drum and bass label Reinforced (Clear Vision by G-Force and Seiji), at a time when musicians tried achieving a different sound in that genre. The transition was to a more abstract form of drum and bass. Many artists that started releasing through 4 Hero's Reinforced label are now considered as the pioneers of brokenbeat (a landmark artist for the label being Sonar Circle aka Domu). Meanwhile in Detroit, established techno artists like Carl Craig and Stacey Pullen experimented with the music they were making, trying to add jazz elements and breaks to their sound. As the music is still based on classic Detroit techno and usually has a harder sound, it is sometimes referred to as broken techno. This eclectic mixture was picked up by the Detroit and jazz affiliated U.K. techno producers Kirk Degiorgio or As One and Ian O'Brien, who tried to form it into a more soulful variation which further influenced the development of the brokenbeat genre.
Reggae is a music genre developed in Jamaica. Reggae may be used in a broad sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, including ska, rocksteady, dub, dancehall and ragga.
Dub emerged in Jamaica when sound system DJs began taking away the vocals from songs so that people could dance to the beat alone. Soon, pioneers like King Tubby and Lee Scratch Perry began adding new vocals over the old beats; the lyrics were rhythmic and rhyme-heavy. After the popularity of reggae died down in the early 1980s, derivatives of dub dominated the Jamaican charts. These included ragga and dancehall, both of which remained popular in Jamaica alone until the mainstream breakthrough of American gangsta rap (which evolved out of dub musicians like DJ Kool Herc moving to American cities). Ragga especially now has many devoted followers throughout the world.
Minimal techno is a sub-genre of techno , characterized by subtle changes in rhythms and a stripped-down, dubby sound. Plastikman, Dan Bell and Basic Channel are some of the early pioneers of this genre. There is considerable crossover betw
Grime is a genre of music which has been developing in London's underground since 2002. Grime's tempo varies between 68 and 150 beats per minute. Style of flow also varies but its most common for rappers to "spit" double time or aggressively over the beat. In contrast to its more soulful progenitor, Grime can often be dark and aggressive, featuring MCs as opposed to singers and jettisoning the R&B influences of earlier 2 step UK Garage. In contrast, the success of grime is inseparable from its connection with pirate radio, with many performers honing their skills and achieving underground success before approaching the mainstream. Grime has roots in both hip hop and electronic music and is characterised by rapid and rhythmic rhyming over sparse break beats, futuristic bleeps and guttural bass growls. Perhaps due to its experimental nature and diverse stylistic influences, grime resisted attempts to classify or pigeonhole it for a long time, but in the past has also gone by the names sublow, 8bar or eskibeat. It is sometimes confused with the instrumental genre dubstep, another style to evolve out of the early 2000s UK garage scene.
