A Trip Through Trip-Hop's Past and Future

By David Renard Dear listeners, Over the past couple of years, it's started to feel like every out-of-favor electronic music style from the 1990s is returning at once. PinkPantheress is singing pop songs over drum-and-bass beats. Oklou uses trance synths. Hyperpop has made 'uncool' taste a creative virtue. (On the less-out-of-favor, more-commercially-successful end of things, there's Beyoncé and Charli XCX's love for 'Show Me Love.') Signs have been building that trip-hop, a genre that reached popularity in the mid-90s by mixing atmospheric hip-hop beats with moody pop vocals, was next up for a resurgence. In one sense, it's a sound that never fully went away — step into any swanky hotel bar over the past few decades — but it was seen as a creative dead end. 'Today, trip-hop is the most toothless of beats-based styles,' the critic Jody Rosen wrote in a 2003 article in The New York Times about Massive Attack, one of the genre's standard-bearers. 'It's easy listening for hipsters in space-age sneakers.' Well, lace up my space-age sneakers, because this music is sounding good again. Confirmation that I wasn't imagining things hit my inbox via a recent edition of the always perceptive Herb Sundays music newsletter, which found ample evidence that trip-hop is in the zeitgeist, like Logic1000's new, low-B.P.M. mix for the long-running DJ-Kicks series. (They referred to the sound as 'downtempo,' one of a few related labels, but let's not get lost in the subgenre soup and just vibe, OK?) Here are six classics from trip-hop's initial wave and four tracks from current artists who are picking up the torch. A woman in the moon is singing to the earth, Dave Want all of The Times?

Eerie abandoned lot where old funfair rides go to die – iconic 90s characters beloved by millions left to rot

THE INSIDE of an abandoned funfair has been revealed – with iconic '90s characters, once beloved by millions, now left to rot. An urban explorer has shared eerie footage of an abandoned funfair he discovered in South Wales, with around 60 rides left to rot. 10 10 10 Daniel Sims visited the eerie site and found old rides with seats still intact, which he said reminded him of those from the 90s and early 2000s. It is unclear how long the fair has been abandoned for, but the rides are rumoured to have come from nearby amusement parks. 'The atmosphere was amazing,' said 36-year-old Daniel, from Huddersfield, UK, speaking to What's The Jam. He added: "As soon as we realised everything was left, we were thrilled and excited to see what was left behind. "There were easily a good 50-60 kids' rides, and the remains of probably four major rides. "One was still really intact, and there were plenty of arcade machines there, too. "As we entered the site, we were met with a massive octopus waltzer ride still intact with the seats, and many childhood kids' rides that would hold memories for lots of people, especially those who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s. "We saw Barney on a train, a Winnie the Pooh kids ride, and various other ones as soon as we entered. "Moving towards the side of the site was a treasure trove of rides, some sort of ghost trains, and various claw and penny machines, which would all be worth quite a bit of money." Daniel, who shared the footage on YouTube, where he goes by the moniker Bearded Reality, also found a partially collapsed ride towards the back of the site, surrounded by arcade machines. Abandoned iconic UK stadium left to rot 110 years after hosting FA Cup final getting new lease of life The YouTuber said: "In the middle of the site were even more machines and rides, Garfield, Banana in Pyjamas, Mickey and Minnie rides, and what seemed like the remains of an old small Ferris wheel, which was cool to see. "The back of the site had a massive caravan that maybe the old owner used to sleep in. "We saw American dodgems and truck rides. "We also found a strange ride or accessory, which was patented like a very interesting wheel." Daniel isn't sure how long the site has been abandoned, but said it appears to have been some time, with heavy rust and visible damage to the rides. He said of the adventure: "I love taking photos of dramatic places such as this, and showing how these places were once filled with people enjoying their everyday lives. "The place is a bit creepy with it just being left, but the actual exploration itself was very relaxing and chilled, and we spent a few hours exploring." It comes after disgruntled residents living next to an abandoned theme park slammed plans to bring it back to life. And an abandoned new-build estate has been dubbed a "horrendous chalk scar" full of half-finished houses. 10 10 10 10 10 10
