MY PET MONSTERS - BATON ROUGE (DEFUNK REMIX)

Defunk is known for his own unique style of belnding different sub-generes within electronic music and his latest remix is no exception. Combining the generes of glitch-hop, blues, and swing, he masterfully puts his own spin on an already great track. Check it out below.

FUNK FRIDAY

The use of electronica in music makes nearly every song mixable. This versatility has led to an incredible amount of sub-genres within the electronic music scene. The overwhelming majority of well-known electronic music falls in the big room/house/dubstep side leaving many other tracks and mixes unknown. Funk Friday is dedicated to these  sub-genres; everything including swing, funk, blues, groove, and more. Check out some of my favorites below.

Defunk classifies his track, "The Waltz", as a groove track. The groove sub-genre of electronic music is considered more of and overarching classification stemming from the use of drums, guitar, and keyboard as opposed to heavy synth or bass. 

"The Viper" by Play Dirty is heavy on the swing loops, iconic to the period of the flappers and big bands of the 1920's, giving it the four-on-the-floor baseline and fusing it with jazz loops gives it the electroswing sound.
