For me, Trap music is the new dubstep.  The genre is not new but it has been making a new school comeback. It's a combination of pitched and re-sampled hiphop/rap vocals, gansta synth leads, 808 Roland drum machine, and pipe flutes. Over the past several months, trap music has been gaining popularity amongst some of the biggest DJs like Diplo, Rustie, and Dillon Francis making a strong impact on the electonic dance music world. My favorite trap artist is Flosstradamus, who I saw live over the summer at a free show in NYC

Flosstradamus - Rollup (Baauer Remix)

Baauer - Harlem Shake

It's that ticking sound that drops over and over again to a combination of heavy hip hop beats, vocals, and drum sounds that makes it sound really hyped!

Flosstradamus is banned from playing in his hometown Chicago for starting a "Riot" in the crowd. He reacted by releasing a 30 minute mix titled Banned.
