LA Beat / Electro Hip-Hop
admin
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
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!
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.
Also checked out Dibia$e's latest record. I really don't know how he gets his drums to knock so hard.
DJ CAM is the bomb!
Some from me:

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

hugh, thanks for the playlist, been listening to it all week!
To contribute:
I highly recommend Lone, which is a bit more on the house side:

Akryte, which is mostly just pure Hip-Hop beats.
[ame="
[ame="
Wun Two is an artist I found on soundcloud who makes sick Hip-Hop beats:

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!

Your stuff is not bad TeeJay, though sometimes they tend to just "trundle along" a bit too much for my taste.
