Discretemore

Discretemore is a subgenre of electronic music that combines elements of discrete trance and downtempo. It emerged in the late 2000s and early 2010s, characterized by its slow to moderate tempo, typically ranging from 120 to 140 beats per minute. The genre is known for its atmospheric soundscapes, often incorporating elements of ambient, chillout, and deep house. Discretemore tracks typically feature a prominent bassline, melodic synth lines, and a focus on atmospheric textures rather than complex rhythms or drum patterns.

The term "discretemore" is a portmanteau of "discrete" and "downtempo," reflecting the genre's emphasis on subtle, evolving soundscapes rather than repetitive beats. It is often associated with the chillout and downtempo scenes, and artists in this genre often release their music on labels specializing in these styles. Discretemore is appreciated for its ability to create a relaxed and immersive listening experience, making it popular in settings such as lounges, cafes, and meditation spaces.

Notable artists in the discretemore genre include Mala, Delerium, and The Black Dog. The genre has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, with new artists and producers contributing to its evolution. Discretemore continues to be a niche but influential part of the electronic music landscape, appealing to listeners seeking a more contemplative and less energetic form of electronic music.
