Description
Bristol refers to the distinctive sound emerging from the UK port city, characterized by heavy bass, dub influences, and experimental approaches to electronic music that gave birth to trip-hop in the 1990s. The tag encompasses moody, atmospheric productions blending hip-hop beats, reggae rhythms, and cinematic textures with an underlying melancholy and urban grit. This creative scene continues to evolve beyond its trip-hop origins into avant-garde jazz, drum and bass, and indie experimentation.
