Make Hyper Trap beats

Hyper trap is a high-energy crossover of trap and EDM: trap drums and an 808 fused with bright EDM synth leads and a brutal, clipped, wall-of-sound master. Around 130 to 145 BPM, it pushes everything loud and forward.

What defines hyper trap?

Hyper trap is what happens when trap and EDM collide at full volume. It keeps trap’s 808 and drum patterns, then layers bright, in-your-face EDM synth leads and dance-music phrasing on top. The lead sits well forward in the mix, and the whole thing is mastered hard: clipped, heavily saturated, a wall of sound.

There are many ways to blend two genres, and hyper trap picks the loudest one. The energy is the point. If a regular trap beat is menacing and patient, hyper trap is relentless.

How do you make hyper trap leads glitchy?

Turn up the portamento so the synth glides into every note, then layer more synths on top for color rather than new melodies; a simple descending bass pattern underneath holds it together. Bright, distorted sound selection does more here than clever note choice, and a touch of pitch modulation adds the glitch these beats live on.
