Best Jazz-House Albums (from 1997 to 2014)

62 Albums, 881 Tracks, 81 Hours 54 Minutes

The fusion of house rhythms and jazz atmospheres is a difficult style to pin down, most likely because so many artists have been influenced by jazz that it undoubtedly colors every house production ever put on wax.

50 Albums, 739 Tracks, 57 Hours 45 Minutes

Best Ambient House Albums (from 1991 to 2016)

56 Albums, 755 Tracks, 80 Hours 27 Minutes

In its more rigorous application, ambient house implied music appropriating certain primary elements of acid house music -  midtempo, four-on-the-floor beats; synth pads and strings; soaring vocal samples - used in a dreamier, more atmospheric fashion.

Best French House Albums (from 1996 to 2016)

6 Albums, 84 Tracks, 7 Hours 14 Minutes

The genre has also been referred to as "French touch", "filter house" and "tekfunk" over the years. The defining characteristics of the sound are heavy reliance on filter and phaser effects both on and alongside samples from late 1970s and early 1980s American or European disco tracks.

Best Experimental Jungle Albums (from 1995 to 2017)

31 Albums, 337 Tracks, 26 Hours 20 Minutes

Fusing experimental techno with drum'n'bass breakbeats, experimental jungle definitely isn't meant for the dance floor. In the main, Experimental Jungle producers tend toward either the avant-garde (Twisted Science, T.Power, Richard Thomas) or indie rock (Third Eye Foundation, Designer).

Best Experimental Dub Albums (from 1996 to 2017)

61 Albums, 605 Tracks, 60 Hours 41 Minutes

Miles away from Jamaica, a collective of Berlin producers started the style of music known as Experimental Dub. Was rather easily characterized; the sound usually focused on a mix of crackling, murky atmospheres that sounded almost subaquatic, with a midtempo beat and strong, clanging percussion.

Best Broken Beat Albums (from 2000 to 2017)

26 Albums, 332 Tracks, 26 Hours 18 Minutes

More a scene centered in West London than an easily fenced-in sound,broken beat takes its inspirations as mere launching points and often utilizes frenetic, syncopated beat structures that sound sputtery and stuttered more often than they sound straightforward.

Best Acid Techno Albums (from 1991 to 2016)

28 Albums, 312 Tracks, 28 Hours 37 Minutes

When the squelch of mid-'80s acid house music was given time to sink into the minds of impressionable youths, they became quite influenced by the sound. Many who began to make music in the early '90s applied the sound to harder techno instead of the warm sounds of classic Chicago house.

Best Drill'n'bass Albums (from 1995 to 2017)

25 Albums, 334 Tracks, 24 Hours 29 Minutes

A spastic form of breakbeat jungle that relied on powerful audio software and patient programming to warp old midtempo beats and breaks into a frenzied, experimental potpourri of low-attention-span electronic music.
