Epileptics in a strobe light show room

Merry Sunday to you and thanks very much for asking!
Soooooo this Harlem Shake thing has been blowing up! I've seen it all over the place and today I caved and checked it out. Harlem Shake is the name of a song which has sparked a viral craze of people filming themselves engaging in some kind of spazmic dancing, often wearing a motor cycle helmet, surrounded by people who appear not to notice before it cuts to everyone gyrating like epileptics in a strobe light show room. Nnnnno I'm not even going to post a video of one.

What I'm actually making this post for is the song itself which is from a genre called "Trap music." Trap has been around for quite a while but there's been a recent explosion in popularity. Trap appears to be a bit controversial, some people love it's bass-heavy rap vibe while others think it's just plain lazy. Myself, I enjoy more of an old-school/90s/jazz flavour to my hip-hop and I'm not a fan of newer rap with 808 beats and lowest common denominator "Guns, drugs, money, bitches." lyrics. I dig a bit of instrumental hip-hop too and that's where Trap comes in, for me. It's modern day rap with the part I detest taken out. That's not to say I like an awful lot of it, but I thought now would be an opportune time to share with you the two little chunks of Trap music I do enjoy.

First up, Ta-ku's "Diamond Mouth" from his "Re ϟ Twerk" E.P I actually think this entire E.P is Ta-ku proving that Trap is easy to make, or messing about. He's an incredibly talented maker of instrumental hip-hop and this isn't his usual style at all. It's still a fun E.P anyway, full of stuff to dance to. (Probably after two or three Jack and cokes.)
Soundtrack to: Drinking Alize and showing off fancy dental work.

Next up it's Willy Joy. (An unfortunate name if you're British.) Willy's been giving away free tracks every Wednesday for a few months and they've all been great fun. This one, "Drop Bounce" is my favourite so far. Something about the bass sound and the crunchy, distorted beats make me feel like breaking into a run. Check out his soundcloud page for free downloads.

Soundtrack to: Badonkadonks.

So that about covers my small knowledge of Trap. Later, potater!
