A mixture of musical styles

NEW LABEL
Here are some of the musical styles most likely to merge with other rhythmic different genres.

AMBIENT. Brian Eno invented in the mid-seventies. Sounds planeantes, abstract, lacking the basic rhythmic themes.

DUB. Alternative psychedelic (Shocked) and instrumental reggae, rhythm and relaxed fraught with meaning. His godfather, Lee'Scratch'Perry.

HIP HOP. Black music with syncopated rhythm. Usually the musical mattress for rappers'. New York home and street roots, is very attached to the 'graffiti'.

JUNGLE. In a way, a mutation of hip-hop. Its rhythms are bankrupt, are fast and dry, marked by low and the battery case.

REMIX. It is not a style but a term that refers to the rearrangement of instruments and sounds of a song already finished. It provides endless possibilities.

TECHNO. The electronic music of the nineties. 20 years ago there was the techno pop, but based on the same songs. What is done now is more eclectic and instrumental.

HOP TRIP. Musical melting pot identified as forward from its rhythms, its enveloping atmosphere and the abundant use of recycled sounds. Smells like postmodern jazz-soul, Tricky, Portishead and Massive Attack are the Holy Trinity.
