As for (things pertaining to) music coming through via dreams, there's an episode on Is This A Dream? Podcast discussing such, and the guest wrote a book about it. I think one of the things he mentioned was someone "developing" sophisticated "new" violin techniques through dreaming.
“my music, hit ‘em; my blunts, lit ‘em; and my pants, shit ‘em” has got to be one of the greatest twitch comments i’ve read. eat ass smoke grass sled fast
It's called Hit'Em, it should sound like a Nightclub breaking out in a Fistfight in a movie. People are scrambling, glass is breaking, the suits are charging in, and fists are flying while the DJ earns his pay.
I really think he was onto something with that bit he said was 'TOO crunchy'. It sounded like something that would have made my car vibrate listening to, which as both an physical and audible listener, is something I love in music. Let's get that bass boosted dawg
In 5/4, make a pattern that pops on 3. Measure 1: _ _ - _ _ Measure 2: -_ _ - _ Measure 3: _ - _ _ - Measure 4: _ _ - _ _ It "walks" across every pattern and returns to home on 4.
@50iraqidinar wouldn't 6 measures of 3/4 resolve on every measure? The point of my example is that it adds one extra beat, so each measure stacka +1 until it comes back around to +4 and we're lined up to where we started.
You're both right because it's both 5 and 3. Assuming you have some other element that actually accents the 5/4, then you have something cool yeah, a polymeter of 5/4 and 3/4. - - x - - x - - x - - x - - x o - - - - o - - - - o - - - - If you had all that occuring within one bar then it's a 5:3 polyrhythm.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Whenever you read about some sort of innovation in antiquity where the person was visited by or conversed with a muse 9 times out of ten they simply dreamed it. Don't be afraid to follow those out of pocket good ideas in your dreams.
@@XaevrynI had a dream where I shat out a 10ft long spiky evil tapeworm and it rose out of the toilet like a cobra in a snake charmer’s basket and tried to bite me.
Some of these tracks feel to me like a feeling in dreams, when I'm running/flying/riding something too fast. I lose control of my movement and can't process what's happening around me fast enough. I can't slow down easily, but trying harder just wakes me up, even though I didn't die in a dream, just was flying through unintelligible mess of space. That feeling that it's so fast I can't see anything at all, just colors of huge things like a green grass field. But I never fell down the stairs. I guess it's the same kind of feeling.
People of the internet, I beg of you: listen to the song “DOB Town” by Date of Birth. It’s a 5/4 Shibuya-Kei jungle-y track from 1999, part of an absolutely insanely cool album (Planet DOB) released alongside a PS1 game of the same name. I honestly feel like this is an actual song from this nonexistent genre that predates it by over 20 years.
The vast majority of pre-industrial music was in 3/3 or 3/4. 4/4 may sound like the "default" time signature to you, but it's actually very very new in the total history of music
i need this as an entire genre so bad. this shit would go insanely hard with racing and air combat games. the 5/4 is discordant enough to get you focused on the music and the game at the same time, this is a need not a want
I really hope this catches on. This is actual innovation in EDM, a totally unexplored frontier, and it would be a massive burst of fresh air for the scene.
@@quantumblauthor7300 its almost like phonon makes his music to crazy time signatures too. which is what the video is about. Quantum dipshit over here tryna look like a fuckin nerd
Man that 5/4 is actually some breeze of fresh air. I listen to music of all kinds of time signatures and it's great that people at large actually started doing something outside 4/4 and stuff
Now all we need is a new tweet from that person saying they met a girl at a rave, and she's excitedly telling him about this "new genre" that just came outta nowhere...
glad to see people making hit em music a thing but i really wanna see someone portray the hit em fashion style, like what the girl who introduced us to this music looked like, really bringing together this alternate universe
Sorry about my face - endless process of removing memories. That entire album of his (echo of time) and another of his (real friend) both have that sound you're looking for. There are some others songs I know of that have that sound, but it's used as accent, and not the direct focus of the song.
As a prog metal musician who loves EDM, I've been wanting/waiting for the EDM scene to catch on to how absolutely wild and groovy beats in anything other than 4/4 can be.
I got into prog metal bc of Sleep Token (absolutely amazing band imo), but as a person who also loves electronic music, ST blew me away even more with their mix of genres. I recommend listening to them if you haven't, especially the song 'Descending'.
i think the 212 bpm was a big part of how i envisioned it and anyone that worked around did not capture the essence. people that actually used 212 and a lot of crunch sound the best
Tip for 5/4: most of the time, it's a safe bet to do the 5/8 clave, where you break the bar into a 2+3 or 3+2 - a strong beat on the 3, and a weak beat on the 2. So think about 5/8 like a 2/4 with one of the beats being longer. Think about 5/4 similarly, where you've got a 3/4 and a 2/4 bar in each bar, and seperate your melodic stuff between both, as in for call-response, call on the 3 and respond on the 2 for example.

@@D3xxon add boards of Canada am ADHD squarepusher and b.o.c are big loves of mine I also like phil France and Kali Malone that shit scratches a different more calming itch for the super low drain moods as it's not all just hyperactivity, ADHD undiagnosed when looking for mental health treatment often get mistaken for bi polar, ADHD man out
as a certified non-musician, he definitely was at least like, in band in school or something, bc I have no concept of what 5/4 sounds like and had no idea that 212 bpm was super fast
13:45 okay, this here, everybody was messing up and couldn’t play around the tempo or the awkward rhythm messed people up but when you can actually work with it, you get this banger.
This is the kinda crunchy-ass geometric music my friend LOVES and I’m already super excited to tell him about it. He the kinda fella who can assign things to other things really convincingly, like shapes and colors to sounds (or any combo of), or! EXTREMELY specific experiences to music, and ONG I can already tell I’m gonna hear him ramble for an hour and it’s gonna be AWESOME.
5/4 is not that crazy haha some of these people just don’t know how to do it (these submissions were still impressive). Mission Impossible theme is 5/4
I spent a while making 5/4 songs for a not-insignificant amount of time, and now it sounds normal and fluid in ways difficult to articulate. It's super unsettling at first, but it's beautiful once it becomes familiar. It feels so much more alive and biological.
I’ll definitely agree the mission impossible theme is popular among the general public. I can only imagine the madness that would occur when a 5/4 sig is played instead of bumping four to the floor beats at the music festivals😂 But we would appreciate it for sure, just not the general masses
@@leah.muriel if done right it doesn’t sound weird at all is my point. Gorillaz has a song called 5/4 which is in 5/4 except for the drums which play in 4/4 and it’s pretty good
Our subconscious is probably one of the most effortlessly creative engines. Idk how many times I have hear a totally unique song, or seen a totally unique thing in a dream. And to boot your subconscious is basically cooking this stuff up on the fly. Crazy
@cormishii1542 It's just riddim, but all, but the drop is halftime. The lead in the drop normally starts very simple, but repetitions are highly encouraged to have at least 1 note more than before, and 1 of the previous notes be delayed by half a beat. The goal with that is to make it hard to tell if it is speeding up or slowing down, so there are other ways to accomplish it, such as polyrhythms. Both for maximum brain meltage.
This sounds so much like some real life underground electronic rave music! Ain't no way it's fake! This sounds like the electronic music of the future! I hope this genre will continue developing!
@@sanderhackerhd8369 How so my man. I mean I never listened to HS newer than 2019 Or so, so I may not know much, but this doesn't sound like HS at all 😂. I see no core elements of it here, yet I listen to it since 2008-ish tracks
5/4 and 7/4 are such good times to set a rhythm to. It's a little tricky if you aren't used to it, but it feels amazing to match up with it. It also feels good when you feel the 4/4 within the 5 or 7, then it becomes a polyrhythm groove in your head.
When a fake genre becomes an actual genre. There's a few electronic genres that really hit that "this is my ADHD" button (as someone with ADHD,) and this is definitely one of them. Good shit Bishu and Subs. :) Holy shit. Vyde channeling ACCESS TO ARASAKA up in here.
my favorite part about this genre is how cracked out the name is rofl. like the name really does sound like it was made up in a dream but also could actually be real too. I hope Bishu revisits this genre for genre mashup with Hiddem, Hit Em x Riddim
So happy to see more people talking about hit em on UA-cam! I think a lot of people who made some during the initial hype got bored of it too soon. There’s definitely a lot more to explore within those three parameters. Really looking forward to the release of the official comp.
"hit em" has massive "off the grid" hack and slash action game battle theme/exploration vibes, especially some of the first songs showcased, id be really interested in either seeing something developed out of that or maybe even starting something myself. that shit gets me going
Yeah, while listening, some of it had reminded me of the OST for Madness Project Nexus(a game connected to an old Newgrounds series called Madness Combat)
Wow you guys are fire af. Some of ya'll made like subgenres like Lofi-Hitem, but Wizzleysc version....all I could see was what glitter, iridescence, sparkles, and twinkles sounds like. Like all mind kept playing was visions of sparkles, glitter, and like holographic cellophane. So cool!
I did mine at 212, I think most people went into the half time because it felt a bit easier but I wanted to challenge myself a little bit since I've never worked that high before. No disrespect to anyone that did half time, still awesome submissions all around
I'll say. Machinedrum cosigning this is massive. I would have loved to see a lot more precession heavy and intricate sounds, because that's what I love so much about Machinedrum, but what is here is absolutely amazing. Such a unique and fresh take on music.
Idk how this got recommended, but I love it. Awesome video. Great music, what a cracked out community you’ve got sending in samples like this! I’ve been listening to ROM Di Prisco who did a load of the need for speed game soundtracks so I’m guessing that’s why YT pushed this. Big W. 🔥
damn there were a lot of really sick submissions. ironically i think Kevwpl's "worst song ive ever made" captures the prompt the best. you can really hear the 5/4 groove in the first half, and then in the back half you kinda get this pull-back effect before each phrase
Funny that half of the things mentioned aren't actually what make up a genre. You can mess around with tine sig and bpm of any genre, and it's still identifiable as that genre
absolutely true, but sometimes bpm n sound design is super tied to the genre right? dubstep comes to mind immediately, mostly 140bpm n ofc the whole wub thing, hit em is kinda like that ig
Drew Daniel is actually in a duo called Matmos, and they've been very prolific lately. Great music and I recommend if you like the more experimental / sound design side of electronic music.

THISSSS, when I figured this out, 5/4 became the grooviest and most fluid time signature. You get call and response for FREE. It's so good!!!
3+2 seems to be the more common version. It's the variation used by all the well known examples (Take 5, MI, Mars).
The most common pattern I see is 3+3+2+2. (1) & 2 (&) 3 & (4) & (5) &

If you enjoyed it, check out Yung skrrt. he also took a shot at hit em
That was a comment lol
That mental image 😂
@@D3xxon Nailed it. Has both µ-Ziq and Squarepusher vibes, some of the weirder stuff by Oizo. It's adjacent to highly regimented rhythmic glitch.
@@D3xxon add boards of Canada am ADHD squarepusher and b.o.c are big loves of mine I also like phil France and Kali Malone that shit scratches a different more calming itch for the super low drain moods as it's not all just hyperactivity, ADHD undiagnosed when looking for mental health treatment often get mistaken for bi polar, ADHD man out
Dude on twitter probably isn’t even a musician and just created a banger genre
He's half of Matmos, lol
@@psychokitty444 noted, I’ll give a listen lol
@@psychokitty444 yeah what the fuck. what is this revisionist bullshit that matmos doesn't exist lmfao
as a certified non-musician, he definitely was at least like, in band in school or something, bc I have no concept of what 5/4 sounds like and had no idea that 212 bpm was super fast
He's gotta know *something* if his brain could even come up with a specific bpm and time signature, cause I wouldn't even have thought to dream that
13:45 okay, this here, everybody was messing up and couldn’t play around the tempo or the awkward rhythm messed people up but when you can actually work with it, you get this banger.
that’s the coolest one
Immediately went to SoundCloud to repost this
It actually feels like 5/4 instead of 4/4 with an extra beat (I know that's the same thing technically, but it has a different feel)
i agree, this one had a proper groove to it. i love 5/4 that feels like i can groove to it in a wonky 3/4 like TA-ka-ta-ka-TA-ka-ta-KA-ta
it feels like I'm consistently tripping on my shoelace but never actually falling.
This is the kinda crunchy-ass geometric music my friend LOVES and I’m already super excited to tell him about it. He the kinda fella who can assign things to other things really convincingly, like shapes and colors to sounds (or any combo of), or! EXTREMELY specific experiences to music, and ONG I can already tell I’m gonna hear him ramble for an hour and it’s gonna be AWESOME.
How did it go
Does he have synesthesia
i expected more crunch like hardstyle/gurokawaiicore/noise levels of crunch
I spoke too soon
@@BTTRSWYTlmao 🤣
HARDSTYLE MENTIONED 🗣️🔥
@@TheSpartacusTVWOW A GENRE THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE HEARD OF MENTIONED???? NO WAY!!!!
@@twnsynrgy kinda niche compared to jumpstyle
As a drummer hearing different time signatures in EDM is sick. Hearing zedd produce in 7/8 on his album and now this makes me very excited!
What song is in 7/8?
@@Bhicken_Nugget His collab with The Ollam called 'Sona' is partially in 7/8!
I love how disruptive this is. 5/4 signature is really gonna hurt some people rolling balls.
5/4 is not that crazy haha some of these people just don’t know how to do it (these submissions were still impressive). Mission Impossible theme is 5/4
I spent a while making 5/4 songs for a not-insignificant amount of time, and now it sounds normal and fluid in ways difficult to articulate.
It's super unsettling at first, but it's beautiful once it becomes familiar. It feels so much more alive and biological.
I’ll definitely agree the mission impossible theme is popular among the general public. I can only imagine the madness that would occur when a 5/4 sig is played instead of bumping four to the floor beats at the music festivals😂
But we would appreciate it for sure, just not the general masses
@@leah.muriel if done right it doesn’t sound weird at all is my point. Gorillaz has a song called 5/4 which is in 5/4 except for the drums which play in 4/4 and it’s pretty good
@@EddieFreak you’re right
Our subconscious is probably one of the most effortlessly creative engines. Idk how many times I have hear a totally unique song, or seen a totally unique thing in a dream. And to boot your subconscious is basically cooking this stuff up on the fly. Crazy
This is the IRL music of Cyberpunk
Hit 'Em is a great name for this style. Love hearing people play around with time signatures outside of 4/4.
Fuuuuuuck. One of my dream genres is sludge riddim, and I can't help but think the love-child of these genres would be testicular nut blast
I'm kinda curious what sludge riddim would be, elaborate on it pls
@@cormishii1542if I had to guess, it’s a combination of riddim and sludge (the prototypical example of which being sludgefest - chipmunks on 16 speed)
@cormishii1542 It's just riddim, but all, but the drop is halftime. The lead in the drop normally starts very simple, but repetitions are highly encouraged to have at least 1 note more than before, and 1 of the previous notes be delayed by half a beat. The goal with that is to make it hard to tell if it is speeding up or slowing down, so there are other ways to accomplish it, such as polyrhythms. Both for maximum brain meltage.
What are you fav artists or songs?
@@xw591 That's a biiig question....
This sounds so much like some real life underground electronic rave music! Ain't no way it's fake!
This sounds like the electronic music of the future! I hope this genre will continue developing!
Doesn't sound at all. Only sounds like that to pop listeners. 😂
@@adamrozek5782 I don't listen to pop at all, this sounds like a subgenre of hardstyle!
@@sanderhackerhd8369 How so my man. I mean I never listened to HS newer than 2019 Or so, so I may not know much, but this doesn't sound like HS at all 😂. I see no core elements of it here, yet I listen to it since 2008-ish tracks
@@adamrozek5782You know better, but this still sounds like something that would play at a rave or in a nightclub scene in a movie!
@@adamrozek5782 Trying too hard to be different just makes you sound like a shadow the hedgehog stan, more than interesting, sorry to tell you.
genre sounds like if Death Grips made an OST for a new Tron movie
Except Death Grips fucking suck.
5/4 and 7/4 are such good times to set a rhythm to. It's a little tricky if you aren't used to it, but it feels amazing to match up with it. It also feels good when you feel the 4/4 within the 5 or 7, then it becomes a polyrhythm groove in your head.
When a fake genre becomes an actual genre.
There's a few electronic genres that really hit that "this is my ADHD" button (as someone with ADHD,) and this is definitely one of them. Good shit Bishu and Subs. :)
Holy shit. Vyde channeling ACCESS TO ARASAKA up in here.
love the ken ishii pfp!
Same! I love seeing new genres develop, and this one definitely scratches my ADHD as well.
@@dillberrystew6205 Hell yeah! Gotta recognize the classics for sure!
I feel I blinked and dubstep had become like a million different genres
it's only a million different genres if you believe it to be. It could easily be less
Oh people have been subdividing dubstep for years lol
my favorite part about this genre is how cracked out the name is rofl. like the name really does sound like it was made up in a dream but also could actually be real too. I hope Bishu revisits this genre for genre mashup with Hiddem, Hit Em x Riddim
Ngl at first I was like “oh brother he’s so full of himself” then I was like “HE’S A GENIUS.”
How is no one talking about the drop at 13:59? Sure its not the craziest one but it sounded so smooth and fit 5/4 so well
i love how hit em is both the most diverse and cohesive genre of all time
So happy to see more people talking about hit em on UA-cam! I think a lot of people who made some during the initial hype got bored of it too soon. There’s definitely a lot more to explore within those three parameters. Really looking forward to the release of the official comp.
Sounds like music I'd expect to hear in a club in Mass Effect
"hit em" has massive "off the grid" hack and slash action game battle theme/exploration vibes, especially some of the first songs showcased, id be really interested in either seeing something developed out of that or maybe even starting something myself. that shit gets me going
Yeah, while listening, some of it had reminded me of the OST for Madness Project Nexus(a game connected to an old Newgrounds series called Madness Combat)
5/4 is perfect for jungle/breakcore. That last submission was fantastic
Wow you guys are fire af. Some of ya'll made like subgenres like Lofi-Hitem, but Wizzleysc version....all I could see was what glitter, iridescence, sparkles, and twinkles sounds like. Like all mind kept playing was visions of sparkles, glitter, and like holographic cellophane. So cool!
I feel like Hit 'em is more like a template for a song and less of a genre, but that honestly makes it better
hit em has that that kind of buckshot roulette aesthetic
I am here for it, and welcome more cultural input from the dream people.
I feel like this is the kind of music the Star Wars universe would use for edm
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔
Niamos club mix
they're all in 106bmp
half time for 212
I did mine at 212, I think most people went into the half time because it felt a bit easier but I wanted to challenge myself a little bit since I've never worked that high before. No disrespect to anyone that did half time, still awesome submissions all around
@@Husky20you could do it halftime and then speed it up to 212 ig
you can set your DAW’s tempo at 106 and still count it as 212 BPM
@@tendrel_sound I could set it to 848 BPM and call it a dog if i wanted, but it wouldn't be the case
Anyone have a link to full song at 1:00
I am also curious-I found the artist’s spotify but I don’t think that song is published there
I love how all of us with ADHD have just collectively agreed "ah yes, this is ADHD music".
put some respect on Matmos, Drew Daniel is not a random guy
putting respect shoutout matmos
@@welcome2bishu cheers bruv gr8 vid gr8 tune
Soft pink truth also goated
i was just ab to comment this, bro worked on vespertine PLEASE put respect 😭
called him a 'random australian guy' 😂🤡
Wizzleysc's track at the very end was fucking incredible. I need a full length song from them they're doing the lords work
appreciate it lmao, might drop it
@@WizzleySC the man the myth the legend himself
I'll say. Machinedrum cosigning this is massive. I would have loved to see a lot more precession heavy and intricate sounds, because that's what I love so much about Machinedrum, but what is here is absolutely amazing. Such a unique and fresh take on music.
i think...i might actually really like this in a completely unironic way. send help, i might need percussive maintenance to reset my brain
Eprom just dropped a hitem track in Seattle last weekend
eprom been eating this genre lately lol
I'm in Seattle and I missed it 😂
That shit was insaaaane
And ended his lost Lands set with a jazzy one
I love these videos of people experimenting and making total bangers, really makes me feel more free to just make whatever I feel like
I like the idea of just making a lot of half songs and then extending the ones that slap.
Idk how this got recommended, but I love it. Awesome video. Great music, what a cracked out community you’ve got sending in samples like this! I’ve been listening to ROM Di Prisco who did a load of the need for speed game soundtracks so I’m guessing that’s why YT pushed this. Big W. 🔥
Neurospicy bass music
damn there were a lot of really sick submissions. ironically i think Kevwpl's "worst song ive ever made" captures the prompt the best. you can really hear the 5/4 groove in the first half, and then in the back half you kinda get this pull-back effect before each phrase
Funny that half of the things mentioned aren't actually what make up a genre. You can mess around with tine sig and bpm of any genre, and it's still identifiable as that genre
absolutely true, but sometimes bpm n sound design is super tied to the genre right? dubstep comes to mind immediately, mostly 140bpm n ofc the whole wub thing, hit em is kinda like that ig
Loving all the new 115 bpm drum n bass, so sick
@@machinedrum holy shit it is the machine of drum
12bpm extratone
200bpm Waltz in 4/4.
Wait a minute
Complex meter makes me very happy in electronic music! I'd be so happy to hear more of it!
Vydemusic went the way I imagined it being. Fast and crunchy as if the Doom Slayer was at a rave
My favourite too but I can't find it on SoundCloud?
I absolutely love 5/4 and crunchy audio so this is a wonderful prompt to take off!! Love all of these!!
Half of these are "Vicodin Overdose" and the other half is "Spider Mastermind from DOOM 2016 is having a seizure."
12:51 is wild shit, I need a full release
Drew Daniel is actually in a duo called Matmos, and they've been very prolific lately. Great music and I recommend if you like the more experimental / sound design side of electronic music.
Nah, he said in the video that it's just some random Aussie 😊
