I am so tired to find it fukn lastms and any other sites.
what genre it is? right i think it is future garage with sub-genre as "icy" ?
here is this amazing track.

earlier i listen something similar and it was something with bbc uk tags (nearly : jackie xx, sbtkt, caribou)

I dont think its garage at all. Its some kind of post dubstep wonk fest. Quite liked it.

grime / fwd IMO

It even says grime in one of the tags. Very chilled / understated grime.

Fuck genres. It doesn't really matter.

so one might reasonably assume you'd be ok with a dj who played

a. deep obscure techno

b. morris dancing music

c. the theme from strictly ballroom

d. a cliff richards medley

e. englebrt humperdink

f. commercial deep house

all in the same set?

you'd gurn hard to that eclectic mix?

Fuck music. It doesn't really matter.

Just so everyone's clear:

Wikipedia wrote:UK garage (also known as UKG) is a genre of electronic music originating from the United Kingdom in the early 1990s. The genre usually features a distinctive syncopated 4/4 percussive rhythm with 'shuffling' hi-hats and beat-skipping kick drums. Garage tracks also commonly feature 'chopped up' and time-shifted or pitch-shifted vocal samples complementing the underlying rhythmic structure at a tempo usually around 130 BPM.

I would be ok with this. There would be parts I would enjoy more than others, mainly A, but I think things should be about sounds not labels

the labels describe the sounds.

Ok, so, over the years, musically I have changed style but the general feel of what I am into has always had the same undertones. It should be about that IMO.

i saw lander trance raving on facebook

That was Four Tet

we need labels - they help define things in their proper context. without them all 4/4 dance music would simply be described as untz untz.

that said, that doesn't make the labelling of things either easy or accurate. I had to pick a genre for my latest song for the shops. It's labelled tech house. It doesn't sound like any of the other tech house I listen to on Beatport but it needs a home somewhere. Juno ignored my labelling or perhaps they dont have a tech house section and put it under club house / funky. It just goes to show that the labels themselves are fluid and just pointers. Not concrete, debatable if you want but ultimately - like you say, not as important as the music itself.

For the music industry genres are a way to label target groups. See it like that "People who bought/liked this also bought/liked:" thing. Imagine Beatport without genres and try to listen through the releases of only one day! (over 1000 new releases only yesterday)

Genres on soundcloud maybe have a different purpose, to look cool or "innovative". Well, I haven't taken these tags seriously anyways.

I have the exact same problem with my next release. what the fuck genre is "Promise You"
