Offbeat music
December 5th, 2008
Doesn’t seem that long ago since I got all excited about Dubstep before it quickly became formulaic and went down the same sad, sorry end as Drum’n'Bass… with producers copying the true innovators’ best ideas and turning the whole scene into an unexciting, repetitive exercise devoid of the creativity which made the genre interesting in the first place
But hang in there.. there seems to be a new musical phenomenon being born as I type which goes by the name of ‘Offbeat music’. Seems to effortlessly bring together influences from Jungle, (the above mentioned) dubstep, anticon-style avanthop, and much, much more besides.
IYB’s got a good, informative article on the subject: http://inyourbass.com/articles/44
Get excited!
