There’s this genre of “YouTube hardware jam music” that I’m having a real snob reaction to after my algorithm detected my interest in Octatrack
It’s split into two main schools imo:
JonMakesBeats - aping sample-less J Dilla lofi hip hop. This stuffs OK, inoffensive.
Then there’s this saccharine, somewhat Floating Points-ish future garage that’s completely overloaded with ear candy synth arpeggios. Always a super twee intimate-clicks Burial beat, lathered wiith every bit of juicy synth texture and automation the uploader’s studio can have running live
Something about it really irks me lol - having fun in your man cave sound spaceship, fuck off, have some restraint & humility lol.
