Glitch Hop

Glitch hop fuses the broken, stuttering aesthetics of glitch music with hip-hop rhythms and bass music energy. The genre features syncopated beats interrupted by digital artifacts, vocal chops, and synthesizer glitches layered over heavy bass lines. Key artists include Tipper, Buku, and Gramatik.

Production relies on beat slicing, granular synthesis, time-stretching artifacts, and precision editing. Unlike pure glitch music’s often abstract nature, glitch hop maintains groove and danceability — the glitches serve the rhythm rather than replacing it.
