Sydney and Melbourne ranked among the top ten cities for downloads, proving Australia\u2019s growing presence and influence on global music culture. Meanwhile, Tokyo and Berlin saw the fastest year-over-year growth among the top ten cities, highlighting Splice\u2019s expanding footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Micro-communities drive innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering what\u2019s driving innovation in music, it\u2019s not in catch-all genres like pop and EDM, which have seen declines in downloads. Increasingly, hyper-focused sub-scenes and micro-communities of passionate fans and producers are driving the freshest sounds. Niche styles like <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/search\/packs?filepath=jersey%20club&amp;tags=2ff0f25d-4369-4c76-a2dd-000650f17665\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jersey club,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midiaresearch.com\/blog\/sounds-of-2025-midia-and-splice-name-pluggnb-musics-fastest-growing-genre-881\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pluggnb,<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/search\/packs?filepath=Rage&amp;tags=f1ec16e3-3582-4f07-b2b0-8ea77cc3d1ba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rage<\/a>\u2014born from hyper-localized scenes\u2014are now thriving as unique local sounds and reshaping the sonic landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">K-pop meets pluggnb in Los Angeles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rising popularity of K-pop and pluggnb, the two fastest-growing genres in Los Angeles, is reshaping Korean pop music and highlighting a deepening cultural exchange between Seoul and LA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>K-pop\u2019s evolving sound, blending hip hop, R&amp;B, and EDM, has created fertile ground for crossover with pluggnb, 2024\u2019s breakout genre. This dynamic fusion was driven by superfans and producers leveraging Splice packs like <em><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/collections\/RPJbpquLHLCFx_hid0xCkYO7q7U\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">violet vibes &#8211; pluggnb elements<\/a><\/em> to craft tracks that resonate across borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bootleg remixes of K-pop tracks, popularized on platforms like TikTok and YouTube, have captured the music industry\u2019s attention. Artists like LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT are embracing pluggnb in their releases, further cementing the genre\u2019s impact on both sides of the Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brazil and the rise of phonk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/labels\/global-residency-sao-paulo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S\u00e3o Paulo<\/a> emerged as a hotspot for drift phonk, an offshoot of <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/what-is-phonk-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the phonk genre<\/a> that originated during the 2010s. Combining phonk\u2019s signature cowbell with <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/brazilian-funk-vs-phonk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brazilian funk<\/a> elements, Brazilian phonk became a global craze, gaining traction first in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While not originating in Brazil, Brazilian phonk downloads in S\u00e3o Paulo surged fivefold in 2024 and now rival growth rates seen in major European cities. European drift phonk artists such as Kordhell, Freddie Dredd, and Slowboy consistently rank S\u00e3o Paulo among their top Spotify regions. Mc Gw, a Brazillian funk MC from S\u00e3o Paulo and a top 500 Spotify artist at the time of writing, has recently embraced the phonk sound, further exemplifying the genre&#8217;s growing influence in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Afro house\u2019s global ascendance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/search\/packs?filepath=Afro%20House&amp;tags=a64bc390-4e73-48a5-8545-ae7de2af276f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Afro house<\/a> surpassed amapiano as South Africa\u2019s leading musical export. Originating from a blend of kwaito, deep, and soulful house in post-apartheid South Africa, Afro house has maintained its authenticity thanks to Johannesburg producers, even as it finds an audience in Europe and America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The genre saw a 203.9% year-over-year growth in downloads in Johannesburg, making it the city\u2019s third-fastest-growing genre. Producers globally are increasingly searching for and downloading Afro house sounds, reflecting its appeal far beyond its origins. Artists like Kenya\u2019s Sofiya Nzau, Mali\u2019s Salif Keita, and Ghana\u2019s Stevo Atambire are bringing Afro house to new audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australia: The dance music superfan market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia has emerged as a dance music powerhouse. Despite its smaller population of 26 million, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midiaresearch.com\/blog\/electronic-music-fandom-and-the-rise-of-the-global-south\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Australia overtook the UK as the third-largest market for dance music in 2024.<\/a> Australians listen to more electronic music artists per capita than any other market, with genres like tech house, big room, and melodic house leading the charge. Searches for <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/genres\/afrobeat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Afrobeat<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/genres\/uk-garage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UK garage<\/a> are also growing, reflecting Australia\u2019s diverse dance music landscape and role as a home to creators shaping global dance music trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Berlin\u2019s Jersey club revolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Berlin, known for its iconic techno scene, saw an unexpected surge in <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/search\/packs?filepath=Jersey%20Club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jersey club,<\/a> which became its fastest-growing genre in 2024 with a staggering 452.2% increase in downloads. Characterized by its Baltimore club-inspired stuttering kick drum patterns and signature bed squeak, Jersey club offers producers a foundation for experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blend of house music and hip hop emerged in the early aughts with artists like Tim Dolla and DJ Tameil. The Jersey club queen, <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/packs\/splice\/uniiqu3-clubhead-kit\/samples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UNIIQU3<\/a> fueled its incorporation into the broader EDM world. More recently, choreographed dances helped the genre go viral on TikTok, and artists like Lil Uzi Vert, Cookiee Kawaii, Drake, and Ice Spice released mainstream Jersey club-influenced hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the genre\u2019s signature sounds migrated across the world. Its ties to clubbing are helping it begin a new growth journey in Berlin, where DJs like Berlin Disaster, CEYDAKISS, and UNIIQU3 herself are incorporating it into local sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its growth, Jersey club remains underrepresented in Berlin\u2019s search trends, suggesting the genre is still finding its footing. Splice plays a pivotal role in introducing the sound to DJs and producers, fostering its integration into Berlin\u2019s rich electronic music culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in scenes, not just genres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fastest-growing genres and most vibrant music cities on Splice share a common bond: Their success is as much about the surrounding culture as the sounds they produce. Jersey club, for example, mirrors hip hop in its origins, emerging from block parties, spreading through choreographed dances, and celebrating local pride. When a genre becomes a movement\u2014encompassing aesthetics, values, and a sense of belonging\u2014it fosters deeper connections among fans and creators, expanding its reach far beyond its original borders. The takeaway for record labels and A&amp;Rs: Focus on nurturing scenes, not just genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Dive even deeper into Splice&#8217;s 2024 data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a new report, MIDiA Research explores how the Splice trends of 2024 will help define the musical landscape of the year ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34347,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1695,1845,1692,1696],"tags":[1866,105,1750,1867,1864,1254],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
