This is a bit of a hilarious first world problem, but I have various different Spotify playlists with different genres, including Tech House, Future Garage, Dubtechno etc...

Now, I know DJ Rum makes a bunch of different genres and styles in his music which is lovely, but it makes it really hard for me to determine what genre playlist I should put his music into haha... I mean is there any specific genre he's more often referred to?
At first he was in the Future Garage playlist, but that felt like it wasn't the right genre, now he's in the Tech House playlist, and that still doesn't feel right, now I'm consiering putting him in a new UK Garage playlist, but I'm still very unsure.
And no, I simply won't split up his tracks and put some of them here and some of them there.

Pretty hilarious issue once again, but I'm super annoyed by it haha.

The only problem here is categorical thinking, why can't an artist be in more than one genre or (god forbid) attempt to break down or go beyond genres? imho a defining feature of a truly creative artist is that they are often uncategorisable. Embrace that and stop trying to fit them in boxes they may have grown out of.

I know what you mean and i agree with you, but in this scenario I get a bit annoyed and want to pick one just to have everything in a nice order in my Spotify profile :p Otherwise i think it's really nice that DJ Rum (and many other of course) push the boundaries like there are none

Why not turn it round then and have a DJ Rum playist - and if you want more than just his msuic add 'and similar artists' too.

What genre is DJ Rum mostly referred to?
