Trip hop

Trip hop is a musical genre that has been described as a psychedelic fusion of hip hop and electronica with slow tempos and an atmospheric sound.[3][4][5] The style emerged as a more experimental variant of breakbeat from the Bristol sound scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s,[6] incorporating influences from jazz, soul, funk, dub reggae, rap, as well as sampling from movie soundtracks and other eclectic sources.[7][8]

Pioneering trip hop acts include Massive Attack, UNKLE, Tricky, and Portishead.[9] The term was first coined in a 1994 Mixmag piece about American producer DJ Shadow.[10] Trip hop achieved commercial success in the 1990s, and has been described as "Europe's alternative choice in the second half of the '90s".[6]
