All of them
That seems really cool, although the first things I checked out were Deep House and Deep Vocal House, and the music that played really didn’t sound right at all. So, I’m not sure how reliable it is. Great idea though.
EDIT - excellent choice for Acid House though, Energy Flash by Joey Beltram 👌
Goddamn, what an amazing resource. If only Spotify could make something like this instead of trying to push whatever’s popular at the time.
The first one I saw was vintage Dutch pop
I’m a fan of mashing two genres together. It’s recognizable songs in a new format!
Bluegrass covers of Rock songs
Metal covers of classical music
Classical covers of Pop songs
Video game music played by a Big Band
Wild obscure shit!
This is the goal over at !coververse@lemmy.world Check it out
Frog Leap Studios has some great metal. Covers of other genres
You may really enjoy Bridge City Sinners then!
They do mostly Bluegrass/Folk but they have this metal vibe to a lot of their stuff. Their vocalist is fantastic and the song I linked feels like I’d be in the middle of a Cowboy Saloon barfight.
Bridge City Sinners are great! I was so disappointed to learn of them just after they’d come through my city on tour.
That they are. I just found them recently. They’re certainly out of my usual wheelhouse but I’ve really been enjoying a lot of old folk and country. This kinda bridges the gap perfectly.
I discovered them through this Murderfolk playlist on Spotify. That playlist introduced me to the murderfolk genre and a lot of bands.
System of a Down did an excellent cover of “Shame on a N,” which probably wouldn’t fly today.
Plus one for awesome metal guitarists playing Tchaikovsky and the like.
Cello groups covering the likes of Aphex Twin and Nine Inch Nails are excellent.
Pretty much just trying to reenforce this comment with some examples people can find.
I’m a big System fan, so I have heard that one before. The first time I heard it i was like “I guess if Wu Tang’s ok with it, it’s allowed.” 🤷🏻♂️😂
The Norfolk Orchestra has some neat covers of Radiohead. Definitely worth listening to.
That kinda describes Ween’s oeuvre.
You might enjoy this then.
Nice! I dig it!
Mariachi el Bronx do covers of pop songs.
Math rock! The different time signatures are really fun, and it has a midwest emo feel
these are kind of micro-genres since there’s only a few bands playing in these styles:
- brass house - saxophone-based dance rock. Moon Hooch, Too Many Zooz, and their combined side-project Thundersmack.
- low rock - sax and bass guitar jazz rock style originated by the band Morphine, and continued by Monique Ortiz and the band Bourbon Princess
I’m sorry to say this, but… shut the front door, there’s a genre of music like Morphine and I wasn’t informed until now?! Thank you for this knowledge, I’ll be checking both bands out tomorrow! :)
Well calling it a whole genre is a bit of a stretch. Mark Sandman of Morphine coined the term “low rock” for their type of music and there’s a couple bands heavily influenced by them that also use that label. Monique Ortiz makes music that continues the low rock vibe, and then she’s collaborated with Morphine’s drummer on Bourbon Princess, and put out an album with Morphine’s saxophonist as “A.K.A.C.O.D.” And there’s also the band “Twinemen” with former Morphine members.
Gypsy Jazz
The Burgundian School of early Renaissance, (mostly) secular composers.
Yeah! I was going to say Renaissance choral music generally. Which records do you recommend?
L’homme Arme is such a cool composition. I’d love to hear a more period-accurate version, but this one is pretty great anyway.
I’ve been trying to introduce people to Jazzcore for the last few years. Check out Last Exits self titled album or anything of John Zorn’s Painkiller and some of Naked City’s work.
Edit: Realized I didn’t say anything about the genre. It’s a fusion genre incorporating hardcore punk, metal and free/improvisation jazz. Slightly different from Jazz Punk which always seems closer to mathrock than jazz to me.
Not sure if it qualifies as lesser known, but Australian hip hop is pretty fantastic. Stuff like Hilltop Hoods, Bliss & Eso, Draupht, Illy, etc. You’ve probably heard a song or two without realizing it.
Not sure if this is really a genre as I have only seen one artist make it, but almost anything Apashe released 2020 and beyond. It’s a blend of orchestral and EDM/trap. I am unsure if this mix has a name or if it’s just “Orchestral EDM” or something.
A few examples:
Occult Rock; it’s the transition somewhere between psychedelic rock and heavy metal.
Relatively unknown nowadays but it you like psych or heavy metal you’ll probably enjoy it.
Lots of powerful, bluesy, female vocals.
