Hiptronica

A genre of music and culture consisting of an eclectic mix of hip hop, house, electronica, jazz, and rock. The genre was coined and invented by Los Angeles duo NiceTie (Motoe Haus & Casanov) in 2009. Created as a bridge between hip hop and house music and extensively performed in Hollywood from 2010-2013. The genre was adopted and gutted by commercial groups Black Eyed Peas, LMFAO, and others. Search NiceTie on youtube for reference.

NiceTie has an original sound called Hiptronica.
