my fav psychedelic music comes from the beats music scene, particularly local.
for those who're unfamiliar with that sort of music, it really made its presence in the summer of 2008, and is a global phenomenon. while commonly associated with dubstep, it is not dubstep at all. it nods to the beatmakers like james dewitt yancey, christopher edwin martin, and tadd mullinix. Steven Ellison is a very familiar and highly acclaimed beats artist. this subterranean form of music is also called wonk, grime, and street bass. you'll hear it in bump music on adult swim, and may hear it in another five years on commercials because corporations are slow like that. by then, it will have evolved into something else
While I have actually heard some of this music... you may want to put a link for some others to get a taste. ;-) Even a soundcloud link. Here, I will do it for you.
BTW I think most of this music is called WONKY lately, as it is somewhat different than the
grime subgenre of dubstep. Beats is too nebulous a term, and there are already larger styles of music that have narrower names in this field (broken beats, breakbeats etc.) Personally, I see the plethora of names for styles that not only are not very different from each other, but are often just endless remixes of the same set of samples, a bit of hubris when you think of how many very different kinds of music the normal genre names include (rock, jazz, soul etc.)
I will say that I
do like this music. A lot actually. It does tend to be music that is made rather quickly from producer packs on fruity loops and doesn't have much to distinguish it from one producer to another... but it does WOBBLE.
If I'm not incorrect, I think this music developed out of some heavy disso scenes... particularly DXM cough syrup slurping party heads. (unlike many here, I have no negative perspective on dissos in general & DXM in particular)
I assume, this is what you are talking about?
