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.
