Micro-Music Genre: Selection

Possible choices: 

Fidget House:

Fidget House is a style of Electro House that distinguishes itself by making heavy use of Breakbeat Hardcore-esque synth stabs, pitch bending of basslines, and cut-up vocal samples, as well as glitchy, or "choppy", 4/4 rhythms. It first developed in the late 2000s and takes influence from other contemporary styles, including Bassline and UK Garage. The most well-known Fidget House producers include Hervé and Crookers.


Vocal Jazz: 
Vocal jazz or jazz singing is an instrumental approach to the voice, where the singer can match the instruments in their stylistic approach to the lyrics, improvised or otherwise, or through scat singing; that is, the use of non-morphemic syllables to imitate the sound of instruments.



Deep Liquid Bass:
Liquid DnB is basically a smoother, more meldoic and calmer form of drum and bass. It takes influences from atmospheric jungle, ambient and funk as well as many other genres.



Deep Minimal Techno:

Deep minimal techno is a minimalist subgenre of techno music. It is characterized by a stripped-down aesthetic that exploits the use of repetition and understated development. Minimal techno is thought to have been originally developed in the early 1990s by Detroit-based producers Robert Hood and Daniel Bell. By the early 2000s the term 'minimal' generally described a style of techno that was popularised in Germany by labels such as KompaktPerlon, and Richie Hawtin's M-nus, among others.



My selection: 

I have chosen fidget house as my chosen genre. I have chosen it because of its links to modern popular music, which allow me to see how the genre is developing and why it is developing at such a rapid rate. It would be also interesting to investigate both the visual and physical atheistic that relates to the genre and the events at which they take place. I also find the history behind house interesting, it was created by people that didnt think they had a genre, or place they could call their own, I think investigating this further could open up some interesting stories and information.
