Electrocrunk

Electrocrunk is a style of electro dance music that originated in the late 2000s.

Though it is a genre spanning the globe, it was partly pioneered by New Jersey writer/producer Shane Fontane, who began producing this sound in 2006 while playing Electrocrunk in bars and strip clubs in New Jersey.

Electrocrunk is a musical form that grew out of a cross-fertilization of Miami Bass, Baltimore Club, Crunk and European dance music, particularly electro/techno music.

Much of this music is for dancing and partying. The signature sound of Electrocrunk is derived from Roland TR-808 kick drums, melodic yet distorted bass lines and electro/techno overtones. This energetic instrumentation is complimented by retro arrangements and gritty sexually provocative vocals with attitude.
