WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE WORLD OF NEW TRIP HOP GROUPS AND DOWNTEMPO ARTISTS AND WHAT IT IS WE ARE "Trip Hop's tempo range is between 60-80 Beats Per Minute, but can reach down to 55 and up to 110. Trip Hop is Hip Hop's mute, genious and prodigal cousin who has a dark side. Trip Hop's roots lie in England, Founded by Massive Attack in a Bristol club. They created hip hop with a heavy influence of Electronica. One of the founding memebers of Massive Attack, Tricky, broke away and formed what I find to be a darker version of Massive Attack tracks. There are many sub-genres of Trip Hop: Minimalism: Very simple melodies and semi-complex beats. Vocal: As the name implies, includes a vocalist, usually female Abstract: Very cereberal, atmospheric Jazzfudge: A term DJ Vadim coined for jazzy sounding Trip Hop Lounge: A 4/4 House beat slowed to about 80bpm, more ambient Soundscape: Lacking a predominant beat, more focus on synths IDM: A branch of electronica, but has roots in Trip Hop thanks to Prefuse 73 There is a type of Trip Hop for every taste. From those who want what mimics a Hip Hop beat, but has more variation and complexities. To those who want somethin' to listen to after a rave. Hip Hop even adopts Trip Hop feel to it sometimes.
