Glitch Hop

Glitch hop is a form of Electronic music characterized by its incorporation of originally IDM-derived production into a Hip Hop setting. Having its early roots in the late 1990s with IDM artists such as Autechre and Funkstörung, glitch hop began to take shape in the early 2000s as electronic producers like Kid606, Push Button Objects, Prefuse 73 and Dabrye began fusing Instrumental Hip Hop with production traits associated with IDM, particularly its mechanic and metallic percussion sounds and relative inaccessibility.
