Trip Hop is a musical genre that originated in the late 1980s in the United Kingdom, especially Bristol. It has been described as a psychedelic fusion of Hip Hop and Electronica with slow tempos and an atmospheric sound, often incorporating elements of Jazz, Soul, Funk, Reggae, Dub, R&B, and other forms of Electronic music, as well as sampling from movie soundtracks and other eclectic sources.
The style emerged as a more experimental variant of breakbeat from the Bristol sound scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, incorporating influences from Jazz, Soul, Funk, Dub, and Rap music. It was pioneered by acts like Massive Attack, Tricky, and Portishead. The term was first coined in a 1994 Mixmag piece about American producer DJ Shadow. Trip Hop achieved commercial success in the 1990s and has been described as “Europe’s choice in the second half of the ’90s”.
