Depends how purist your definition of house music is I guess. Longtime house-and-techno heads would probably be a bit more specific than the dubstep crowd, to whom anything under 135 is 'house'...wub wrote:Perfecture wrote:Its a hybrid genre created from classic 4/4 beats, regurgitated samples and immense sub-basswub wrote:Anyone explain to me what Mutant House is?

Especially retarded stuff is in bold...Wikipedia wrote:Drag (also referred to as witch house, screwgaze or crunk shoegaze) is a debated term used to describe a genre of industrial music which features a prominent hip-hop influence, specifically the 1990s Houston chopped and screwed sound pioneered by DJ Screw.[1][2]. Drag consist of applying techniques rooted in Swishahouse hip-hop – drastically slowed tempos with skipping, stop-timed beats – with signifiers of noise, drone, or shoegaze, the genre recontextualizes its forebearers into a sinister, unprecedented, yet aesthetically referential atmosphere.[3] Drag is also influenced by hazy 1980's goth bands, including Cocteau Twins, The Cure and Dead Can Dance.[4] The use of hip-hop drum machines, noise atmospherics, synthpop-influenced lead melodies, and heavily altered or distorted vocals is also common.
The 2007 film WEAPONS contains a DJ Screw inspired original score by the band International Friends and can be seen as an early influence on "Drag" music.

Chillwave is a debated genre of music where artists are often characterized by their heavy use of effects processing, synthesizers, looping, sampling, and heavily filtered vocals with simple melodic lines. Its musical predecessors are diverse and include the synthpop of the 1980s, shoegaze,[1] ambient, musique concrète and various types of music outside of the Western World. In this case, nostalgia of 80s synthpop is filtered through a distorted lens, re-envisioning the era in a more vague and lo-fi sense.
The genre is also a prime example of shifting the idea from defining a musical movement's birth in part by a specific geographic location, as is historically done, to focusing instead on how the groups became linked and defined through various outlets on the Internet. The Wall Street Journal wrote, "Whereas musical movements were once determined by a city or venue where the bands congregated, 'now it's just a blogger or some journalist that can find three or four random bands around the country and tie together a few commonalities between them and call it a genre,' said Alan Palomo of Neon Indian."[2] Despite the stylistic similarities listed above, Palomo and other artists have questioned whether chillwave really constitutes a discrete genre.
The New York Times' Jon Pareles described the music thus: "They're solo acts or minimal bands, often with a laptop at their core, and they trade on memories of electropop from the 1980s, with bouncing, blipping dance-music hooks (and often weaker lead voices). It's recession-era music: low-budget and danceable."[3]
Observers have noted that Panda Bear, especially his 2007 album Person Pitch, foreshadowed the movement proper,[4], "Bros Icing Bros: Which Mellow Act Is the True King of Chill?" Time Out Chicago, July 15–21, 2010: 20.</ref> Ariel Pink is also a related pioneer with his psychedelic pop style.
Often noted and associated bands of the genre include Washed Out, Neon Indian,[5] Toro Y Moi, Memory Tapes, LAY BAC, Golden Ages,[6] Ducktails, Small Black, Com Truise, Dog Bite, Nite Jewel, Teen Daze, Dreams West, Million Young, Blackbird Blackbird, Microclinic, Brothertiger, Tremarche, Magic Man, Phantom Power, and Haunted Mattress .
