Trap music is based on use of the 808 Roland drum machine pitched
and re-sampled hiphop/rap vocals pipe flutes gangsta synth leads
and various FX. Similar to rap without the main vocal Trap music
has been gaining lots of attention from major DJ’s and labels.
Although the style originated many years ago Trap music has
recently been making a new school comeback in many new forms such
as Trap Chirp SeaPunk PsyTrap and TrapStep. Earliest known examples
can be found by artists such as Triple Six Mafia UGK Swisha House
and Gucci Mane. Tempos range widely from 135-175bpm which is
uncommon for most major genres of electronic dance music (EDM).
In laymen’s terms Trap music would be best described as a recipe;
1/3 hip hop (tempo and song structure similar) – however vocals are usually pitched lower or higher
1/3 dubstep (similar drum arrangements different builds and drops)
1/3 dub (Low frequency focus and strong emphasis on repetitiveness throughout a song)
