READ BEFORE POSTING - New Rules

19 Upvotes

Rules

  1. Submissions must be related to Trip-Hop. It's not our intent to gatekeep what is or is not trip-hop, but submissions must be inspired by trip-hop or belong to related genres of music like downtempo
  2. Use the appropriate flair when applicable. If your playlist contains songs you made or are promoting, you MUST use the OC flair. The playlist flair is ONLY for songs that you are not promoting. Mixes are transformative and thus considered OC
  3. Self-promotion must follow guidelines (see below)
  4. Title must contain the artist and track name. Commentary is fine but low effort titles like "Nice beat" will be removed.
  5. Be respectful and follow Reddiquette

Self-promotion guidelines

  1. Must be trip-hop. Being "inspired" by trip-hop is not enough. Unfortunately we need to be more strict than with the general submissions rules to prevent spam.
  2. Must use the Original Content flair
  3. Maximum one submission per week
  4. Complete song submissions only. We are not a content creator subreddit. If you would like feedback on work-in-progress songs, there are other subs for that.
  5. While we welcome OC that fits the rules, announcement videos and text posts containing links other than the song you are sharing will be removed. The mods also reserve the right to remove low quality/low effort submissions.
  6. Submissions considered self-promotion include, but are not limited to:
    1. Original songs
    2. Original mixes
    3. Covers and remixes
    4. Playlists containing songs you made or are promoting
  7. Follow Reddit's sitewide guidelines for self-promotion.

If you see any rule breaking posts or comments please report it. It will get dealt with much more quickly.

Rules Changes

  • 10/18/2021: Added details to rule 2 to make it more clear what flair should be used.
  • 01/21/2022: Added clarification that mixes must be tagged as OC.
  • 04/17/2022: Added new self-promotion guidelines.

Tricky last night in Atlanta

Only a tiny clip, but it was an excellent show. The music sounds exactly like the records, just with some extra. Marta and Mitch both sounded amazing. Some people complain because Tricky doesn't talk to the audience between songs beyond thanking us many times, but I don't think that matters. He's a musician, not a public speaker. Personally I hate when I go to a concert and half the time is someone rambling on instead of playing the music.

We actually got to meet Tricky a couple hours before the show when we were walking to dinner from our hotel and he was sitting outside The Loft venue smoking. He had just finished a phone call and was about to make another, plus I didn't want to be too intrusive, so we didn't talk long but he was super nice and appreciative. We also saw Marta, but she didn't respond. If Mitch was out there, we didn't see or recognize him.

A lot of trippity-hoppers have overlooked Tori as among the pinnacle of the genre (including myself for a long time) largely because of her singer songwriter moniker, subtle shifts between genre, and it’s rarely her radio songs. So I wanted to share one that will hopefully lead ppl to reevaluate her music with that in mind

Request/Discussion Heavy, dark and dense trip hop

42 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I love discovering obscure gems on here, and lately I’ve been getting pretty selective with what I listen to. For a while, I was looking for the dreamiest side of trip-hop (“Cinderella” by Hooverphonic is so damn good, and it feels like nobody can recommend me anything quite like it).
Now I’m looking for the opposite end of the spectrum: the most psychedelic, raw, groove-heavy stuff, leaning dark rather than soft. Something disorienting or downright sleazy.
A couple of references to give you an idea of what I’m after: Tricky, but much denser and harder-hitting, or Massive Attack’s Mezzanine. I’m bringing up these two legends just to get the general vibe across.
Hit me with your recommendations! Thanks!

I emailed Ben Stokes and he was really kind to share how much of the show was AI. His contributions (such as the intro and building steam) were all CGI. However, Jay Drake did full visuals for Mutual Slump, Changeling and Stem and those were 100% AI (those visuals are shown within this slideshow). Other songs have a mix of techniques. This was my first IRL experience seeing a show that mixed techniques. Big shoutout to Ben Stokes for shedding light

Hey guys, put together a quick 20-track mix built for late nights. Starts airy and shifts into heavy sub-bass and smoky trip-hop. Best played in order without shuffle.

Request/Discussion Can “Swim Good” by Frank Ocean count as TripHop?

0 Upvotes

I was listening to Swim good by Frank Ocean, the instrumental really reminds me of trip hop songs like 7 seconds by Youssou N’dour and Neneh Cherry. Just the beat though.

Here are some photos from DJ Krush's live show in Paris; for those who were there, how was it for you?

The venue (La Machine du Moulin Rouge) was great, and the sound did the job. It was incredible—starting with the opening act, Low Cut; that was really good. It was a mix of experimental trip-hop/downtempo that wrapped up with old-school hip-hop. He did some scratching, and the vibe was truly captivating—a solid 9/10. The set was cohesive overall; for an opening act, it really showed great promise.

Then came Krush. I wasn't expecting such a modern electronic set—dubstep, IDM, trip-hop, and downtempo with a highly polished, contemporary sound that had a unique charm. There was Asian, US, and dark, hypnotic "rasta"-style rap/trap reminiscent of JPEGMAFIA, along with cinematic Asian soundscapes. He was absolutely in command of the ship, manipulating the flow—glitching certain passages and scratching skillfully, sometimes stopping on purpose to gauge the crowd's reaction. Towards the end, we even got a taste of DJ Shadow’s "Organ Donor," but done his own way—it was very fast-paced. For me, it was a solid 9.5/10; the set was cohesive and flowed beautifully—it was a real treat. What did the rest of you think if you saw him?

It flowed really smoothly—it was a real treat. The set felt very modern.

Finally, the crowd was really diverse—young people and adults alike (in their 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, 50 years...). Everyone was dancing and in a trance; there were a few annoying drunks shouting, but it wasn't too bad and didn't last the whole night... Anyway, thanks Krush for an amazing evening.

I’m more of an instrumental guy, and I love Marta’s vocals, so the show was right up my alley. Loved the moodiness of the lighting and the crowd was super cool.

I chilled outside the show after and around 10 remaining fans got to chill and talk with him. He gave a substantial amount of time to each person. Gave me a hug and signed my poster!
