Trip-hop described some of the 1990s' best music, and it was one of
the decade's most revealing bad ideas. The music itself was an
intoxication of beats, bass, and voice. It emerged amid the social
tensions of the late 1980s, and as part of hip-hop's rise to global
dominance. It carried the innovations of Jamaican soundsystem
culture, the sweet refuge of Lovers Rock, the bliss of club jazz
dancefloors and post-rave chill-out rooms. It went mainstream with
Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, DJ Shadow, Kruder &
Dorfmeister, and Bjoerk; and with record labels like Ninja Tune and
Mo' Wax. To the artists' despair, the music was tagged with a silly
label and packaged as music for the boutique and the lounge; made
respectable with awards and acclaim. But the music at its best
still sounds experimental and dramatic; and its influence lingers
through artists like FKA twigs, Sevdaliza, James Blake, Billie
Eilish, and Lana Del Rey. This short book is a guide to 'trip-hop'
in its context of the weird 1990s: nostalgia and consumerism;
pre-millenium angst and lo-fi technology; casual exoticism amid
accelerating globalization and gentrification. This book presents a
survey of the music and its leading artists, packed with
recommended listening, essential tracks, great remixes, and
under-recognized albums.
