Tricky

Electronic
ElectronicRockTrip hop

Tricky is a Electronic and Rock act. Their catalogue also touches Trip hop. Their sound grew out of Daddy G, The Specials, Howie B, Maya Jane Coles and Agoria. Those roots explain a lot about how Tricky arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as DJ Vadim, Massive Attack, Moloko, Portishead and RJD2, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Melody A.M., Supercell, Luna Shadows, DJ Signify and Erika de Casier, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 66 connections around Tricky, reaching back through Daddy G and forward to Melody A.M..
