New Musical Genres to set the world on fire in 2001:

Baby Beatz – someone genuinely manages to combine turntablism and microtonalism.

TextureCore – tough guy hardcore with arty pretensions to “restoring the grain in contemporary rock; creating a powerful guitar music with a tangible patina”.

No Step – nihilist minimalism hits the dance floors of south London.

!!pFrEEnk!! – the unholy alliance of progressive punk (Pronk) and free rock (FREEK!)

Neo-Maximalism – the sound of hundreds of hands clapping in the conservatoire.

Turkish Psychedelia – this one is real. Check out 3-Hurel, Erkin Koray and Baris Manco.

*don caballero - american don
*blonde redhead - melody of certain damaged lemons
*grandaddy - the sophtware slump
*david kitt - small moments
*sweep the leg johnny - sto cazzo!
