Came from the thread, I wouldn’t say this is an entire new genre, but maybe a subgenre of hip-hop and EDM. Whatever it is, Slugstep is very cool!! The extremely slow tempo actually does a lot for this track as well, giving it this epic, cinematic vibe that really works imo. Keep it up!

Today I’m so excited to share my project which I have been working on for a couple of months now! Introducing “Slugstep”, a genre I invented out of boredom and emotional numbness, all folded up neatly in a 4-track EP. The genre pulls inspirations from Lo-Fi music, HipHop, Psychedelica, Ambient, IDM/Glitch music, and of course Dubstep, especially the Old School/UK sound. In this EP, I tried to explore the different directions this genre could go in and tried to go as slow as I could to attempt to achieve a sense of liminality. For some, liminal spaces and vibes can be eerie and ominous, while for others it could be comforting, meditative, and even nostalgic. That’s why I intentionally made this EP to sound subjective so it can channel or express one’s emotions and psyche, which I’m proud to think that I achieved according to the amazing people who reviewed and gave feedback on the EP before its release.
Feel free to try out Slugstep and hit me up if you came up with something cool! I don’t have the right to Slugstep or anything like that so do what you see fit.
Let's turn this genre into something cool, something that is ours!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I will do my best to improve both myself and the "genre" ^ ^
Coming here because this track deserves more love. An absolute vibe.
No real constructive criticism because I have to do life things, but I just finished your EP and left my reply in the forum. The most I can say is that I would look at the wet signals of your reverbs and probably hipass them to 300 hz or so, and I may remove the little what sounds like vinyl clicks or cracks throughout. If you enjoy that, ignore me about removing them, but think about making them a bit quieter. There's nothing in the high frequencies really to make them fit into a wider canvas, imo, so they should be a bit quieter.

Noted, thank you for your input! I will keep that in mind for the future :D
