READ BEFORE POSTING - New Rules

Rules

  1. Submissions must be related to Trip-Hop. It's not our intent to gatekeep what is or is not trip-hop, but submissions must be inspired by trip-hop or belong to related genres of music like downtempo
  2. Use the appropriate flair when applicable. If your playlist contains songs you made or are promoting, you MUST use the OC flair. The playlist flair is ONLY for songs that you are not promoting. Mixes are transformative and thus considered OC
  3. Self-promotion must follow guidelines (see below)
  4. Title must contain the artist and track name. Commentary is fine but low effort titles like "Nice beat" will be removed.
  5. Be respectful and follow Reddiquette

Self-promotion guidelines

  1. Must be trip-hop. Being "inspired" by trip-hop is not enough. Unfortunately we need to be more strict than with the general submissions rules to prevent spam.
  2. Must use the Original Content flair
  3. Maximum one submission per week
  4. Complete song submissions only. We are not a content creator subreddit. If you would like feedback on work-in-progress songs, there are other subs for that.
  5. While we welcome OC that fits the rules, announcement videos and text posts containing links other than the song you are sharing will be removed. The mods also reserve the right to remove low quality/low effort submissions.
  6. Submissions considered self-promotion include, but are not limited to:
    1. Original songs
    2. Original mixes
    3. Covers and remixes
    4. Playlists containing songs you made or are promoting
  7. Follow Reddit's sitewide guidelines for self-promotion.

If you see any rule breaking posts or comments please report it. It will get dealt with much more quickly.

Shakespeare, the O.G. trip-hop artist. I heard he was one of the members of the Wild Bunch in Bristol.

Not the place for submissions.
