NEW GENRE ALERT! Witch house is dead and its corpse is now a petri dish for new genres and movements to grow. the latest, of which(ha!) is the seasonally apropos genre of #ICEPUNK. Simultaneously a serious artistic venture and a smirking 4chan-esque parody, Icepunk merges elements of rap, sampledelica, coldwave, noise and juke with images of frozen tundras and ice sculpted bongs to create a hazed out wintry blend of cold sonics designed to "make you uncomfortable but expand consciousness. like wizards in fur practicing Kabbalah in their ice caves".
the genre has already formed their own label run by gnar-as-fuck producer Party Trash and young buck pranksta Drrty Pharms. The label Sn*wflake is accepting tracks for an Icepunk mixtape set to be released in early Feb. 2012. #FuxWitIt.
