![]() ![]() Generally, glitch hop tends to have a very ‘major’, light feel, so you’ll likely either be working in major keys or focus heavily on less ‘minor’ tonalities like Dorian modes and substituting normally minor chords for major ones. You’ll often want to heavily sidechain the rest of your instruments to the snare drum as well to ensure it punches through. Other than these differences, you can largely treat dubstep and glitch hop snares the same way: meaty body in the 200Hz range a sharp, complex transient and a noise layer that rises in volume as the body disappears and then falls to silence. This helps give things a ‘funky’ feel, since the essence of funk is all about quick releases. ![]() Also, the tail of the snare is much shorter in glitch hop the noise layer is usually cut short with a quickly declining release, as opposed to a long, gentle fade out. For one, it doesn’t need to be as deep - in fact, it should feel very light so that you get a clearer bounce to the rhythm. This keeps everything tight and ensures the listener hears the kick clearly, which is key as it’s foundational to the sound of the genre.Ī glitch hop snare is also quite similar to dubstep, this time with a few important distinctions.

Today they unveiled another track that features on the mix, called ‘Simply Dead’, it is probably their finest work since Idealism – it does away with almost any melody, vocals and just concentrates on trying to mash your brain with stuttering drums, abrasive synths and more compression than the human head can take – it’s a banger in every sense of the word.īonus Round: Be sure to check out their spacial remix of Who Made Who’s ‘Inside World’.Ġ1. Granted it’s a little one dimensional – but at least its not limp-wristed indie. So far we’ve had two new tracks the first is ‘A New Drug’ which is so 2007 you’d be fooled into thinking we’re not in recession – it’s full of driving drums, caustic synths and harks back to their electro/rock aesthetic.
