worst music-related buzzword

Hype Williams have cultivated a sublime aura of mystique around their heady sound with only a few 7"s and an almost-mythical LP for Carnivals. Their new album 'Find Out What Happens When People Stop Being Polite And Start Gettin Reel' is now available on vinyl and is one of the most highly anticipated of the year, a 24-minute portal into a hypnagogic vortex.

If you've checked their warped videos on youtube or picked up the 'Do Roids And Kill E'rything' 7" you'll have a good idea what to expect, but much like their blunted and telepathically coital live show the cumulative opiate effect of consuming this album in one sitting should not be underestimated. Defining their sound is like trying to inhale the wisp of smoke on the sleeve - it's not going to happen. But we can say there's a brilliant Sade cover in there, and the recurring dream of 'Rescue Dawn 3' is by far one of our favourite tracks of the year.

This is incredibly canny music with a blatant regard for all manner of liminal sounds, managing to make 96% of hypnagogic music seem soberly twee and contrived.

jesus,

that was really

"drumstep"

16yo dubstep kids with emo bangs and on metalcore rehab are actually using this term nowadays. it's.... it's..... it's too much. it really is. in case anybody has a first reaction alike my first reaction and goes... "wait... what!?" and doesn't really even get what it's suppose to mean: it's suppose to be an offshoot of dubstep at 170-ish BPM... like a shuffly 170 BPM usual half-step beat with "disgusting" "filthy" wobblers and shit, the word being a portmanteau of "dubstep" (itself a portmanteau) and "drum n' bass" (itself a meaningless non-descriptor). Never mind that 170 BPM halfstep beat is pretty much a 85 BPM hip hop beat, and you can just fucking call it "filthy bro hip hop" and it would at least be somewhat closer to a descriptor.
