whos feeling this tip? not really a genre as such, just a good way to describe what a few (myself included) producers are trying to notch up it seems...
feeling the addition of cleverly chopped/bonkers arrangements, dischordant/odd melodies and really lose drums
anyone who listens to Whistla's sub fm show knows what I mean..
ps if you know anyone, of if you make really wierd garage (not just 2step, 4x4 too) please feel free to post links in here and/or pm me!
I am thinking of putting out a mixtape (YES A REAL ONE!) in a limited run of exclusives in this style.

F'real. I'm putting my own Of Silence and Secrecy out on TKG Music soon and it keeps getting referred to be other folks as Psychedelic Garage, a phrase I love.

LOL at this thread.
If you know anything about Garage then you'll know Todd Edwards, and if you know Todd Edwards then you know this sounds just like his productions, which have been around since the mid 90's. Nothing new and nothing entirely different to normal 4/4.
Calling it Psychedelic Garage =

i agree that unnecessary subgenre labels are frustrating, but nonetheless there is definitely something which can fairly be described as psychedlic garage which i have heard bits of lately that has very little to do with todd edwards and is exciting in its wall-of-sound approach to melody (probably something that burial started but which others have taken into greater abstraction and haziness). i'm talking amost like if seefeel or mbv had tried to make garage. the little that i have heard has been exciting and mysterious.

not sure about all these subgenres - not even sure about the word dubstep itself - but any psychedelic music can only be a good thing

I'm calling my (admittedly still developing) shit ACID GARAGE, who wants a genre war?

i dont think his point was to create a sub genre name... seemed to me like he used this to describe a sound developing with some producers within the garage template... like saying dark dubstep / dark garage, mellow dubstep, dubby, etc... i hate it when psychedelic is used as a genre specification, but as an adjective it makes perfect sense... big up to joe, kuma and the rest of the producers going for the more psychedelic approach...

a bit like calling all the prefuse glitch-hop inspired shit that's been coming out lately "wonky". ain't nothing new under the sun. really. nothing. the genres are all bullshit, but if it helps someone concentrate on creating a sound they are looking for then it's fine for them.
i'm still a little confused as what would be "psychedelic" garage though. it's all a bit spaced out and trippy. garage is garage to me and garage is good wether it's burial or some old MAW shit.

Origins of the name are from a gig i played @ Braindrop where the promoter came up to me going "wow man this is like Garage but Psychedelic, Psychedelic Garage!"
and the name has stuck cos it kind of rings truer than saying simply dubstep or garage, being as neither really describe what a number of us are trying to do with our productions.
Whereas Psychedelic Garage does give you more of an idea what the music is actually like.
Ofc Todd Edwards is the don dada, but imo no-one ever took what he was doing with vocals and pushed it to the next, this is one of the things I am trying to do in my music, as well as numerous other things!
I think it is fair to say that the people building this stuff are not covered by either the terms "dubstep" or simply "garage", in a dubstep nite people will just constantly come up to you saying "whens the dubstep gonna start" and in a garage nite people will just want to hear the classics.
Whereas a seperate entity "Psychedelic Garage" instantly means your boundaries of what garage is have been pushed out wide and far
Ultimately its all Garage whether it be Dubstep or Psychedelic, the names just help people to reference different aspects of this music we love
