"How to" for various styles of music

I know about Ishkur's guide to electronic music, but I was
wondering if there was something similair (albeit much less
comprehensive of course) that focused on making
different genres of music.

You know, something that gives examples of the samples,
synth patches, drum patterns, bpms etc. of different
genres.

Anyone know of any good sites like this (even if they only
cover one genre, e.g. "How to make your own house music")?

future music seemed to have a large share of hiphop
producers, all the tuts were about that kinda music
like 'how to make you bass "thump"'

The emails I get from this lot usually have some sort
of tutorial in them and they're very good for hip hop (their
samples are very, very good too).

BTW Ishkur's guide is talking bullshit when it comes to
house music me thinks.

Not just house music, he's way off the mark on several
genres...

...but looking at his site, he's bang on the money about

Elitism:

Am I elitist?

If it's elitist to appreciate and champion productivity,
integrity, professionalism, worth and value, then damn
straight I'm elitist.

If it's elitist to expect the most out of people, to not
suffer bullshit lightly, to promote and support quality
worksmanship, to enjoy getting things done and to laud the
people who can do things cleanly and perfectly with no
problems, then I wish we had more of them around.

You want to call someone elitist like it's a derogatory
insult, but truth be known being an elitist is a good thing.
It means you request the best in yourself and the best in
others. That you don't accept a shoddy effort, sloven
inefficiency, or drab incompetence. That you fight the
movement to water down your fun, and that you refuse to
accept an existence that bores the living fuck out of you.

The elitists of this world are the tent poles of progress,
propping up achievement and pushing the arts, sciences,
culture, music, and the human condition to forever best
itself in all avenues of creativity. Without elitists, the
tent falls, flattened into the ground of ridiculously tepid,
safe, boring mediocrity. It's the elitists who express early
desires for higher standards in every capacity of life. It's
the elitists who put every interesting genre of music you've
ever heard on the map, who've established every untouchable
sports record, who write books that continue to sell long
after the author is dead, who've put men on the moon, cars
on the roads, and your computer in front of you. Without
elitists, everything that's wrong and inane with life will
run unchecked. Without elitists, we, as an interesting
species, are truly fucked.

Call me an elitist all you want, and if that's the case,
then so be it. But let me honestly ask you: What's so wrong
with being elitist?


Cuntychuck:

Yes, it could be quite an interesting project; people could
UL samples/loops, synth patches, soundfonts, etc.

I was thinking of doing a kinda Word Document book, but
scrapped it cos I was crap at doing all the styles I needed
to cover.

I think the best method is simply to listen to a song you
like and try and copy it.

I know it's far-fetched and most of you wouldn't do it (or
would you?) but I am going to be taking an internship study
at a recording studio here so I can learn more. I think I
would really benefit from it.
