Obscure Electronic Music Genres You’re Not Ready For

Since the birth of Electronic Music, we’ve seen many genres and subgenres arise and fall. Although it’s difficult to place your finger on exactly what many genres truly are, many have pushed the electronic sound to new soundscapes.

The following are obscure electronic music genres you’re not ready for. Prepare for your ears to bleed, head to get dusted and your chest to cave in.

Speedcore

What happens when you take a drum machine and PCP at the same time? Speedcore. Not for everyone, speedcore is insanely fast and almost unbearable at times but always there to bring the ruckus.

Psytekk

Psytrance is beloved by many trancers but what about those that want a minimal/techno beat? This is where Psytekk comes into play. Combining psychadelic sounds, minimal beats and breakbeat breakdowns, Psytekk is a great mixture of sounds.

Schranz

Schranz is a combination of hard trance and hard techno. This hardcore hails from the germanic tribes of well, Germany – where else right? If you’re looking for a great sound to itch that hard spot, this is the genre for you.

Glitch

Who needs rythmic beats when you can just glitch the hell out of them, creating sounds that rip into your mind. Glitch has seen a rise over the years but still is at its tipping point.

Feedback Noise IDONTKNOWWHATTHEHELLITIS

Here’s a musical genre for ya: take droning feedback loops and play the for hours on end. What do you get? Well, feedback loops. For hours. Surprisingly, some of it is good.

SpaceSynth/Italo Disco

For a short while, Disco was still kickin in Europe (in some ways, it still is). Disco died in America but the Europeans kept running with it and gave us spacesynth and italo disco. These genres are nearly interchangable, the main differences being the space samples.

That’s Some Weird Sh*t!

Every year, especially due to the internet, we’ve seen sub genres of sub genres rise from the depth of the internet. There’s no telling where music will go in the future due to the ease of musical instruments available to all.

What kind of obscure electronic music genres have you found eh?
