LA Beat / Electro Hip-Hop

System

Inspired by the Dubstep thread, I thought I'd start one based on one of my favourite genre's to share some artists and discover others that you might have heard.

Not entirely sure what the genre is called but I guess it's instrumental hip-hop style electronic.

there's a few off the top of my head,

check out dilla's new album if you havnt already, came out about 2 weeks ago

System

Nice one Mike, cheers, I didn't realise there was a new Dilla record out.

System

Cool tracks, Hugh!

MikeF

some nice additions there hugh,
also forgot to mention to check out Gilles peterson on BBC radio6 (you can grab it streaming from the radio 6 site) if you havnt, guy play's pretty much every artist mentioned here and MORE!

System

Cheers for the suggestion, Mike.

What time is Gilles show on? I usually listen to R6M on DAB in the car and they always play great music. I just heard Daedelus a minute ago actually! That was on some dude called 'Tom Ravenscroft' though I think.

MikeF

he used to be a 2 am show on radio 1, but now he's gone over to 6 on saturday's around noonish i think

Yeah all the BrainFeeder/Low End Theory artists are some of my faves. All the LA Series on All City with the half/half beat selections on are worth checking out too. http://www.allcityrecordlabel.com/releases

Couple more I thought of;

Mono/Poly
Baths

MikeF

lets keep this thread going, awesome selection guys!

mmmm-mmm! This is a good thread! This has become my favourite 'genre' of music in the last few years. Some point last year or the year before I heard Tokimonsta for the first time and completely fell in love! I'm a big fan of /r/futurebeats and the monthly mixxes that get put out there.

To contribute:

I highly recommend Lone, which is a bit more on the house side:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oig5arqu3QA"]Lone - Pineapple Crush (Manchester Warehouse VIP) - YouTube[/ame]


Akryte, which is mostly just pure Hip-Hop beats.

Wun Two is an artist I found on soundcloud who makes sick Hip-Hop beats:
http://soundcloud.com/wun-two

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uigp1uE3zTY&t=32s"]Wun Two - Fly Me To The Moon - YouTube[/ame]


And if you're listening to all of this then I assume you are familiar with a Tribe Called Quest, which should be required reading in the world of smooth beats!


(OFF TOPIC)
If you liked Lone, check out Broke One, who has this incredible, sick, neo-chicago house sound! Second favourite artist next too Tokimonsta!

Hey some of this stuff is pretty good. I liked those Lone tracks (it reminds me of the techno and rave stuff I used to love so much but lost track of..). Some others are a bit too glitchy and off-world for me though.
Your stuff is not bad TeeJay, though sometimes they tend to just "trundle along" a bit too much for my taste.

MikeF

damn teejay, not bad at all. infact, sounds great!
