Hip hop has been dead for a long time, autotune just solidified the fact.

For those that don't know what autotune is, this video is for your enlightenment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITT6bYYGVfM

I need melodic trance or something... imagine classic/instrumental music with psy trance instruments. I think i have listened such music before, i just cant remember any names...

Also it must not be some repetitive crap or ambient shit (nor vocals). more of a hard/psy/goa trance instruments used. I just want some real melodies in there :(

Am i making any sense at all?

What you are looking for is Hallucinogen and Infected Mushroom.

Dubstep. Awesome Genre.
Excision rules!

I don't think that there is a single song to describe the genre good enough. You might as well record a cat in a washing mashine while stomping the ground in an irregular fashion wearing clown or diving shoes and people will buy it. Mags will call it the filthiest tune of the month and you're being celebrated a hero for a day.

Dubstep generally is a genre mix of reggea, rock, pop, house, minimal, dub or trash over high, mid and low range wobble bass, a 160 bpm broken beat and deep sublow basslines, it really depends on the artist.

Dub

Psy dub / Ambient dub

Downtempo / Dub

Game music isn't really a genre

Definitely rattle, definitely. There's a huge variation of genre within dub. But I just kinda feel like if you can only hear one dub song, or if you have to sum up everything dub in 5 minutes... Bear trap is basically a dubstep tutorial track.

You're missing something awesome to stop there though :)

Nope... neither of those are what i am looking for. Those both are psy/goa/rock trance.

What i was asking is converting classical melodies / instrumental music using psy trance instruments instead of piano, violin etc. Adding some more bass etc. Then it should be the best music ever made.

You want classical melodies played through a synthesizer? Have you never listed to any of the hundreds of classical midi created for cell phone ring tones?
