drat son, where'd you discuss this?

Trap: bass music characterized by 808 drums, samples of black people saying things, and drat SON WHERE'D YOU FIND THIS
____________________________________________________________________

To get any newbies to trap started:

- Circus/Festival Trap: the most popular kind of trap, with lots of one-shot vocal samples and/or horns.
See:

> Bro Safari ft. DJ Craze - Spooked
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya_XddpkeJ8

> Mr Carkack - Palm Hand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13wgFb8ghzQ

> Keys N Krates - Understand Why
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIFtQgwfH4E

> RL Grime - Core
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDbcsGvQ2Rg

- Future Trap similar to circus/festival, but with less of a focus on vocal one-shots and synth stabs and more on soul and funk

> sam gellaitry - business
https://soundcloud.com/samgellaitry/business

> Rvdical the Kid & MisterMack - Ethereal
https://soundcloud.com/flowfi/rvdical-the-kid-mistermack-ethereal

- Hybrid Trap: Trap/dubstep mix. A.k.a., trap for people who don't like trap.

> Carvar & Clock - Miskatonic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Xf5CvWe6M

> Twine - Freakin Out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_M4wW1p-Y

> LAXX - Semi Auto
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSnDcab23Ho

If there are any subgenres I've left out, let me know.

ALSO: Feel free to promote any trap you've made, as long as you're also somewhat contributing to discussion and not spamming every other post with your fire mixtape.

I'm seeing Flosstradamus tomorrow night (though they may be more EDM than Trap). I'm gonna dance my balls off while screaming Windows 95-era internet .wav files that they sample. I'm excited.

What, if any difference, is there between Cloud Trap and Witch House? They seemed very similar, and would appear to share some similar origin genres.

i've never actually heard of witch house before. seems like witch house, based on what i've heard from googling "witch house", it's more dark and dissonant than cloud trap.

No Keys n Krates in the OP! Shameful.

Also, is anyone going to see RL Grime in London on 16th January? I'll be arriving alone unfortunately.

I don't know where you are in Kentucky, but Flosstradamus was in Cincinnati November 30th, went to that show with some friends.

Definitely had a good time, but it wasn't the performance I had hoped for. Autobot did most (almost all) of the DJing while J2K spent most of the show waving flags around on stage and playing hype man. We all kind of left with the same suspicion that Autobot does all the live stuff while J2K is probably some sort of studio wizard who predominantly makes the stuff.

I was expecting a lot of energy, and there was plenty, but it kept getting broken up over and over again with the music stopping and them giving instruction to the crowd, call and response, what have you. I'd like to see them in a festival setting before I pass judgment because I love their produced stuff. A favorite of mine, their remix of Sub Focus - Tidal Wave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nSY4FHAl34



If not the best, at least the most memorable trap show I ever went to was Grandtheft in Louisville. There were seriously maybe 60 people there, and the venue Diamonds regularly packs in hundreds for a Saturday show. Very intimate, he dropped a bunch of his better remixes and tried some new stuff I hadn't heard.

The music the OP tried clumsily to refer to is poo poo, and to top it off with there's a whole bunch of unrelated music just randomly thrown in. Nobody but dumbasses has ever said anything is "Cloud Trap", especially when he pretty much just names the sadboys poo poo which are pretty clearly rap. And why is footwork here? And wtf is "Future Japan"?

And I don't even listen to cracker trap but how do you not have baauer who like created the poo poo?

If you don't want to listen to it and don't want to talk about it, please just ignore the loving thread (that means don't read and reply!) and/or stab yourself in the neck.

The "you enjoy a lesser version of something I enjoy and I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT IT AND WHY YOU ARE STUPID" attitude does no good for you or the people that actually want to discuss something.

what's really killing me, though, is sam gellaitry. he's been posting tracks like once every couple weeks or so, and i think he's working up to a full-length album of tracks, but nobody's announced anything. i just want to slap the head of his record label for not releasing it right now

Oooh I see. Well yeah I agree with you 100% on everything you've said.

I'd say for the OP maybe put RL Grimes, Keys n Krates, Kai Waichi.

no clue how i didn't think of RL Grime, i'm def putting him into the OP. haven't actually heard of the other two artists, but i can dig keys n krates. not too big a fan of kai wachi though tbh

Perhaps the OP isn't the greatest or deepest given Future Cloud Helicopter Spiral trap. I think that it was made pretty clear it was designed to be a thread for people who enjoy RL Grime or Bro Safari or Flosstradamus or What So Not or ETC! ETC! to talk about similar sounds.

But, the terrible music it is, it surely can't be discussed among people with a similar taste in a MUSIC forum because you don't have a taste for it and you feel a need to belittle and poo poo on people for it.

Go to your own Deep Jungle Psy Prague Minimalist Ambient Garage proto-Gregorian Chant thread if you want to talk about it. I'm not gonna waltz in there and tell you its some bullshit.

gently caress yourself.
