[b]Big ol' OP incoming[/b]
So "glitch hop" has been the name for a few different genres over the last decade or so. It can refer to either actual glitch hop - think Glitch Mob - or this newer dubsteppy stuff. This thread's referring to the newer stuff!
I like to think of it as the funk of this generation.
[B]What is it?[/B]
Glitch Hop (modern): Take dubstep, make the drums full-time, slow it down to 100 BPM, add glitches n weird sounds n shit. The main difference between this type of glitch hop and older stuff is that this kind has a bit less glitches and follows broken-beat drum patterns mostly.
Moombahton: Take house, slow it down to 110 BPM.
Moombahcore: 110 BPM glitch hop. Includes moombahton.
[B]Essential listening[/B]:
Most glitch hop artists that are recognized release one or two midtempo songs among their normal regimen of house or dubstep or dnb or what have you. Take Mord Fustang for example - recently released [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFlCeTOcTD0"]this[/URL] gem.
Koan Sound
Two dudes from Bristol who started out as dubstep artists and kind of segwayed into glitch hop (though they do produce some killer dubstep tracks). They're pretty much the frontmen of the genre.

Opiuo
Australian guy with the weirdest genre names ever. His track "Robo Booty" pretty much started production of glitch hop.

So yeah, post your midtempo/glitch hop/whatever you want to call it songs here!
Really cool stuff, it seems every time I visit the music subsection I learn about another genre.
I'm suprised more people who enjoy other "electronic" music don't listen to this. Also, i fucking love sly fox. Didn't realize there were so many Australian Glitch Hop artists. Suprised me.
Most of the scene's' actually Australian. I always see Opiuo put up tour dates there and I'm so jealous.
