Music

I really like jazz piano inspired by or directly arranged from Baroque music, e.g.

• Eugen Cicero - Solfeggio in C Minor
• Oscar Peterson - Allegro (jump to 2:46 if you're impatient)
• Charl du Plessis Trio - Prelude & Fugue No. 2 in C Minor

I dunno what is and isn't niche any more.

However, there's only one group I know of doing hip-hop bluegrass; that's Gangstagrass, and I fucking love them.

I'm also a long time fan of Miami bass, a kind of old school bass driven edm style from the 80s. Of which, The bass that ate miami is a perfect example of the genre by one of its best. Basically, all of it is stuff to bump in your car, at a club, or just to piss off your entire neighborhood if you have big enough speakers. But it's also surprisingly good to dance to, unlike a lot of the electrobass and technobass variants (you try dancing to dj bass boy or nemesis lol).

Drumstep is probably pretty niche. It's like oldschool dubstep but slightly faster and with busier drums/cymbals/percussion. I think I actually need an even more specific descriptor to differentiate it, because if you search "drumstep" on youtube etc. you mostly get stuff with those brostep-style midrange noises that is super popular in more modern dubstep, drumstep and drum'n'bass, which I mostly don't like at all.

I'm listening to a ton of niche genres, but TBH I don't really have a good idea which of them would be the least known or least popular.
