| Genre definitions |
For genre definitions, give up looking for accurate prose descriptions. It is not easy to describe music that is mainly drums and bass, and when people try, they usually get it wrong, or don't have the musicological vocabulary to really make the reader understand what something *sounds* like. Instead, try listening to examples where DJs have identified (with maybe 80% accuracy) the styles they play. | |
