Your thoughts on some BPMs / genre classifications ?

[dov]

Hey Dov. So personally I tend to classify the Lazer Bass stuff as Glitch period. I think Rustie Glitch Mob Flying Lotus all that stuff can all fall under Glitch and has elements of Lazer Bass Gltich Hop etc. If I find a Glitch like track in with the Dubstep it better be 138 or more. I think Back in the day we could even call that stuff LEFTFIELD or even NU-IDM or Big Beat or even Nu-Downtempo because again the tempo is the definer to me.

You're right, usually I would say tempo is the definer for me too, but I'm actually loving being able to play a full range of 65 - 140 and everything in between and 'dubstep' has opened those doors allowing a lot more expression and variation of tempos.
Also a lot more places (like discogs) now have a 'Glitch' section, just like you mentioned. We put out our first midtempo / glitch-hop track on Muti in 2004 and websites and stores made us list it under leftfield, trip-hop, big beat etc

LAZER BASS has me pretty intrigued.

'lazer bass' is like a micro-micro-genre of the more 'hoppy' stuff.
The guys who are calling their stuff 'lazer bass' are generally doing more of a fusion of 'hyphe' and 'dirty south' hip hop, like exactly what 'Glitch Mob' and also 'Megasoid' are doing more than anything else. Basically the more hyped up very produced hip hop vs the Flying Lotus deep / emotive headspaces very produced hip hop.

However vibe wise I would maybe even class Flying Lotus alongside Burial in some ways.
anyway, it's all just expressionist urban music and the rest is pretty much for database filing and marketing

I feel ya especially here in SF and cities like Glasgow which have heavy dirty south influences bass blip lazer producers. If I had to do or die and the section exist go with Glitch.

Nalepa also has a side project called Bass Science with another guy (I forget his name) and they are also fusing the 70 BPM stuff with 90-100 bpm, they're calling it dub-hop & glitch step

also Sam, Glitch Mob, Rustie, Megasoid, Eprom and Ana Sia are all playing in SF on October 10th

THis thread was pure money for me. Thank you so much for the post. Hit my thoughts exactly.

Your list of suggestions was exactly what I was scouring the internet for, because I'm fucking loving this glich mob shit!

Must get more whompy glichy goodness.

Big Ups.. You have helped a ton.

BTW I find it frustrating not being able to know what the bpm range for mp3's I'm trying to buy for djing.

I don't care about the need for micro sub genres... But would kill if the download sites would label there tracks by bpm within the genres.

If they would do that for me with downtempo, electronica, and dubtstep it would be total glory, and I would be sure to patron them.

Again so happy to have this page bookmarked and ready to go spurlunking into all the sick nasty goodness you posted as examples. Woot.

Also, this huge desire to find more of this music that led me to your post in the first place was Modeselektor's : Death Medley, that song fucking kills. Must have more like it.
