Fidget House
Comment:
Few late-'00s sounds have captured a neon-doused cross-section of retired ravers, too-cool indie rockers and sneaker-collecting hip-hop heads quite like fidget house. A byproduct of the digital age's à la carte listening habits and shortened attention spans, the Switch/Jesse Rose-sculpted subgenre uses the 4/4 beats and deep bass grooves of classic Chicago house (Frankie Knuckles, everything related to Trax Records) as its foundation, only to briskly obliterate any immediate connections between the two through ultramodern influences like hyphy-schooled hip-hop, down and dirty baile funk, and tech-house that simply refuses to stand still. Simply put, this is dance music that could care less about steady builds or straightforward melodies; instead, artists such as Bobmo, the Bloody Beetroots, Trevor Loveys, Sinden, and a rejuvenated Armand Van Helden head straight for your skull and feet with pitch-shifted vocals, unapologetic basslines, and stab-happy synths.
