Flosstradamus Defend ‘Trap’ Genre

Hip hop fused EDM DJs Flosstradamus have defended the 'trap' style of music that they've helped reinvent.

While some have dismissed the genre as a fad, one half of the duo, Josh "Y2K" Young says it's here to stay.

"We've worked with a lot of the [original] trap guys in Atlanta and so far everyone we've come in contact with has been really supportive and excited about what we're doing. I'm not surprised at how big it's gotten, but I am surprised at how fast it got there."

Rising US producer Porter Robinson has expressed his frustration that too many are jumping on the trap bandwagon, but Young doesn't see that as a bad thing.

"We don't care. The Internet puts everything everywhere and anyone can, and will, attempt whatever sound is hot. This has been going on for decades, probably centuries, dating back to classical musicians. But the fact remains: good music will prevail."
