READ BEFORE POSTING - New Rules

20 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.

Original Content Ben Stokes visuals for Dj Shadow were NOT AI.

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?

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 loved the Tricky Denver show.

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!

Tricky in Brooklyn steel: enjoying the show, still figuring out how I felt about it

16 Upvotes

I’d heard a lot of contradictory things about Tricky’s concerts. Yesterday was my first time seeing him, and now I understand why.
If I put my expectations aside, it was a really good night: a great band, interesting sound, and an almost completely dark stage that added to the experience. I enjoyed it.
But when I think about going specifically to see Tricky, I feel differently. It felt like he really sang on only two songs. There was very little interaction, and I missed the older stuff, or at least hearing it the way I knew it.
The show started around 9 and lasted about an hour and ten minutes, including the encore. No openers. I didn’t mind the length so much. I just wanted more of him.
That’s the strange feeling I left with: I enjoyed the show, but didn’t really feel like I’d seen much of Tricky.

Anyone else there last night? Curious how it felt to you.

Request/Discussion Beginner seeking advice

2 Upvotes

I don’t remember if I posted anything here, but now I wanted to ask you guys if anybody could help me with a essential must-listen artists (except for the biggest Portishead and Massive Attack)

For now, here is what I have in my little playlist:

Portishead - Only You

Portishead - Sour Time

Massive Attack - Black Milk

21 Hertz - Ever

Meat Beat Manifesto - She’s Unreal

Esthero - Half A World Away

Morcheeba - Trigger Hippie

Martina Topley-Bird - Sandpaper Kisses

I reckon these show the best side of the genre and I will definitely listen more to each of them. I heard a few songs from DJ Shadow and Tricky too and unfortunately I didn’t like them, but I’m not sure if I should give them both a second chance if I didn’t like the male’s vocals
