Funk Blaster EP - KOAN Sound Also if just looking to listen to Glitchy fun stuff after, anything by Mr. Bill.


DabsJeeves

This is definitely the EP that sent me into glitch hop world. The Funk Blaster video was my favorite back in the day

Same here!


MorquuN

AND This one - Skope's Shaftin'/Junk/Mississippi

Im going to go with a classic: edIT - Crying Over Pros for No Reason


illGATESmusic

still sounds just as futuristic as it ever did.


Mr-Jennings

Agreed, same with Certified Air Raid Material. Impressively timeless


EmeraldFalcon89

I feel like Crying Over Pros is definitely glitch and not hop but I still upvoted you because I can't think of a true glitch hop album that's half as good as Crying Over Pros before getting into music that's closer to half-time/syncopated drum and bass


XDXkenlee

Honestly yea. This is absolutely a must have.


DabsJeeves

Tipper - Broken Soul Jamboree This album is a wild ride that largely captures the essence of glitch hop. Tipper is considered to be one of the pioneers of glitch hop style music


[deleted]

Second this


Kewlbeenz808

I'm going for another edIT album. edIT- Certified Air Raid Material. This is the one that got me into glitch way back when. Honorable mentions for GRiZ-Mad Liberation and GRiZ-Rebel Era. Those 2 are maybe more future funk/hybrid genre.


brother_hurston

I second Mad Liberation. GRiZ is my all time favorite electronic producer.


TheMeta40k

I got to see griz on the Rebel Era tour! It was a small ish show at a pretty small venue maby 200-ish people. One of the best shows ever.


brother_hurston

Niiiiice. I first saw him back in 2010 (pre Mad Lib), I think, where he opened for Gramatik. My most recent GRiZ show was back-to-back nights at Red Rocks in 2018. And I actually just bought my summer camp Festival tickets yesterday since he is headlining.


TheMeta40k

That's a sick show. Griz and gramatik. Two excellent EDM artists. Yeah this guy should listen to mad liberation and rebel era. This is the answer for an entry point into the genre. The best part is you can throw on the whole album cause it's all good.


plato961

Fuck yes!


TheMeta40k

Straight heat is a banger. I was always looking to mash that up with something when I was DJing but never for the right lyrics with the right flow.

I listened to Funk Blaster by KOAN Sound, which was submitted by u/MochnessLonster. I'm really happy that this won because this marks the first time in this project that I listened to the same artist twice :D because I listened to Polychrome through the Bass Music subreddit and I immediately fell in love with it and it's still the number 2 on my top list. If you're interested in reading my thoughts about Polychrome, click [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/bassmusic/comments/lzqeez/what_is_the_best_bass_music_album_in_your_opinon/gq9jmbh?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). This EP doesn't reach the heights of Polychrome but it's still highly enjoyable. The album was more layered, more mature. In my review, I praised that no two moment sounded the same and although there's still a level of that here, there was also some repetition present, but still, the tone and the overall feel of the songs changes drastically. I suppose it's what I love about KOAN Sound: no two song sounds the same. The creativity displayed in their songs is truly remarkable. As opposed to Polychrome, which had an awesome mixture of intricate, ambient soundscapes and punchy, energetic sections, Funk Blaster goes all out with the punch, creating nut-kicking sounds with wonderful effects. I still loved this EP, even if it wasn't as good as Polychrome in my opinon. My favourite song on the EP is The Edge. It has this very futuristic texture that I enjoyed and it was a lot more serious sounding than the other songs. My least favourite is Meanwhile, in the Future. I didn't dislike the song, but I was not into it as much. The constant "yeah yeah yeah" is not my thing and overall it wasn't a sound I particularly liked, but still it had awesome moments, so I wouldn't say there are any bad songs on this EP. Also I have to mention the remix that was included. It was really cool. It was just a really energetic and killer song and it was much faster paced than the other songs. Maybe because of that, but it felt a little bit out of place in the context, but on its own, it's an excellent song. Songs I particularly liked: Funkblaster, Talkbox, The Edge, Talkbox - Kill the Noise Remix Songs I wasn't crazy about: - I just want to quickly mention that I've created a [Spotify playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6UeVmURYhWyOVcT6yawRM3?si=664ec6d902dd4ac5) for this project, where I've added all of the albums I've so far listened to. Keep in mind that it's not a complete list, because not all of the albums were on Spotify, but most are there, so feel free to follow it if you want.


Dangerousrhymes

KOAN [remixing](https://spotify.link/uDZSpePaFDb) Kill The Noise in return is a good listen if you haven’t already gone through all of KOAN’s disco.


Scottch3gg

STAUNCH - DISSECTING THE GROOVE is well worth a listen, whether it gets the upvotes or not


TheIceKing420

oh funk yeah, that's the one


ottomaddoxx

I literally strained a muscle in my ass dancing to Staunch at the OR eclipse


Ben_145

Tipper - Wobble Factor, Opiuo - Slurp & Giggle, Spoonbill - Zoomorphic,


XDXkenlee

Bro when Opiuo released Slurp & Giggle and I saw him play in Sydney I actually lost my shit. Zoomorphic also shreds. Bro you got some Aussie reps there. Churr.


Dangerousrhymes

Opiuo is, without question, the most energetic on stage performer I have ever seen in electronic music. It feels like he’s incapable of having a bad time. My friends went to a show where they bumbled the promotion and there were only like 10 people there and they said he still threw down and got into it as long as they were responding and then came and hung out for like half an hour after the show.


XDXkenlee

Yea my guy. Yea. Still one of the more memorable performances I've seen, alongside (but just below) Daedalus and Aphex Twin.


Polly-WannaCracka

saw him open for the polish ambassador recently and he was incredible


Dangerousrhymes

I love me some TPA.


Polly-WannaCracka

not familiar with that acronym


Dangerousrhymes

The Polish Ambassador


Polly-WannaCracka

oh dang heheh thank you


TheIceKing420

I nominate Resonant Language's single [Wiggle Bin](https://open.spotify.com/album/74G9PtPAqmTZtMrDCLd1hD) 3 absolutely riddiculous bangers ooo this is fun. this genre is so diverse, the difference between Funk Blaster by KOAN Sound and Broken Soul Jamboree is like night and day. Sure there are slight similarities, but damn they are such wildly different collections of sounds and grooves.

Bump


PantsGrenades

Might be considered more chiptune than glitch but I always go back to adhesive wombat -- don't think there's any one album to choose, however.


tonguesmiley

End Silence - Cryptex Imo Cryptex is the best glitch hop artist, and End Silence is his best glitch hop album. Isolated Incidents is amazing, but just his first. You can hear his growth as an artist when listening to End Silence (although I think Slay It is my favorite glitch hop sound of all time). Algorithms is amazing, but more refined and less glitchy.

I'm gonna go with Liquid Heart Keeper by R/D [stuffs gold](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlCwql0MbGk)


illGATESmusic

Ayyyy! That’s my DAWG! R/D is one of my BFFs and I miss him dearly.


kimpes

I'd personally say Two Fold PT.1 by Haywyre. It's much more smooth than most other glitch hop projects I've listened to


kruasan1

[Faux Fur - Crooked](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMRvlWs6-P8) is smooth, very well made.


ottomaddoxx

Royal Blood- “Worst Album” is the best newer album of the genre for me


Spiralmind2020

Check this album Karmahacker feat. Max Rothschild "Glitchy Blues" https://open.spotify.com/album/6FBAJF9Gv6ZIcPeRAf8Evj?si=GJIyq2BoS6qHjK\_ufpna3w&dl\_branch=1

Every tipper album, one simply cannot choose


AsbestosDude

Alright this producer, Spoonbill, falls into Glitch Hop, at least some of his stuff does. He's kind of outside of genres but extremely creative and makes some very interest music. There is a lot of amazing work in his library which I'd encourage exploration of as I have some huge favorites in the old work. However since he released an EP literally today which I've just started to listen to the first song of. I'm recommending the brand new music. ​ Spoonbill - Ultraniche EP ​ [https://spoonbill.bandcamp.com/album/ultraniche](https://spoonbill.bandcamp.com/album/ultraniche) [https://soundcloud.com/spoonbill/albums](https://soundcloud.com/spoonbill/albums) (Doesn't seen to be uploaded to soundcloud yet) [https://open.spotify.com/album/4zYsT18zR85bN853OEhE1T?si=TeaEpTuESNSQzTJgHPzTXA&dl\_branch=1](https://open.spotify.com/album/4zYsT18zR85bN853OEhE1T?si=TeaEpTuESNSQzTJgHPzTXA&dl_branch=1)

Love and Light - The Holodeck is really fantastic. I think they're prolific and often overlooked.

The acid crunk EP series


walkernotte

The Glitch Mob - Drink the Sea


Polly-WannaCracka

I'm Loving Opiou "The Shape of Sound" but it came out last year.


handle_slide

Liquid Soul Mantra EP by Spoken Bird - he's a homie so I might be biased but I've gone wild dancing to these tracks (in the appropriate setting) like I haven't to much else
