highvoltage Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 So I'm pretty fond of glitch and electro hip hop / swing because it's fucking sweet. Generally defined by funky basslines, dub-like drops and a heavy reliance on samples from the jazz/swing era of popular music. A lot of the artists producing electro-swing make hip-hop/glitch beats too, so I lumped them in here as well.Guys like Gramatik, , and , etc are who I'm talking about.GRiZ is one such artist that I've gotten into pretty recently and he dropped his album (for FREE) yesterday called Mad Liberation (he actually plays a lot of the instruments on it too!). Still working through it, but this one is standing out so far: Bit of a long shot, but anyone else around here into this kind of music / got recommendations? If you're curious about "dance" music but hate the repetitive, bland shit you hear in clubs, this is for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I like Glitch mob. Don't know much about the genre but I enjoy Glitch mob every now and then to chill out to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 I like Glitch mob. Don't know much about the genre but I enjoy Glitch mob every now and then to chill out to.They were the last lot I threw in, mainly because I like them so much - but that's more "Glitch" (duh) than any of the other guys here. Heavier and more "listening" music than "dancing" music... but yeah, Drink The Sea is a fucking great album to smoke a bowl and dim the lights to. EDIT: Kind of the same reason I threw Pretty Lights in there... If you're a Zep fan, you'll either die watching that... or find it really, really fucking cool.

Guest Len B'stard Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Never heard of none of that but you got me interested, i shall have to have a peek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead74 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) I've never heard of this stuff either. Just listened to the Pretty Lights video and think its great. The sound is quite heavy, but it's very cool. PS I would happily dance to it as well. Edited September 5, 2012 by Redhead74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevelle Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The Griz song in your original post is great, downloading the album now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Check out DJ Girl TalkI used to like him but the gimmick wears off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Check out DJ Girl TalkGrr, can't stand the guy. He's fun live and all, but sooooo hyped up. Madeon definitely does mashups better than Girl Talk... JMO. Should also mention he's like 16 in the above video... a true freak. Not to mention he produces some really fucking tight shit of his own.The Griz song in your original post is great, downloading the album now.If you like that one, this is one is a few months old and didn't make the album: Great track though... Super mellow couple of minutes, then builds into a wall of groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H. Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Eh. I dig him. Seen him live twice.I got a ticket to see Pretty Lights at my local theatre, I'll let you know how it goes, pretty excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 OK, so my two favourite producers Gramatik and Griz (both mentioned in this thread) announced a collab, Grizmatik about 3 minutes ago on Facebook.Nobody cares, but I'm really excited!
