Something that was thrown in on that D-Bridge set that I posted earlier (a few bpm faster though in the mix).

I went around to making a discog account and ordered a copy of Earthling's Humandust album it should be coming in the next week or two.

Anyway while looking for some Earthling stuff I found out the rapper of the band, Mau has also did some rapping/singing for another music trio called Telepopmusik. They do House, downtempo, and electronic music, it's an interesting sounding combo. The songs they have featuring Mau are pretty awesome although I'm a bit pissed at how underutilized Mau is in some of their songs.

Here are some of the songs featuring Mau. I think I like them even more than the Earthling songs! They sound even more alien like and out of this world. I hope Mau is featured in their next album!





Also listen to their most popular song Breathe it sounds pretty great.

I love that mix and channel, that guy helped me find lesser known trip hop artist and songs. I was chilling and doing dishes to that mix during the summer.

Manchester's been off the chain. I was familiar already with IAMDDB, this Lay tune knocked me on my ass though.

I'm pretty sure I mined that list for new stuff as well. lol It was good.

Found another band called 8mm unfortunately they only did one EP dedicated to trip hop the rest of their songs are pop rock, alt country and hard rock.

The drum beat for this song was also used in Massive Attack's song Angel


This song features the rap rock band Chronic Future.


These sound pretty portisheadish

anything trancy; this is very strong but rather out this box

Where are you from if you don't mind me asking. I noticed you post a lot of foreign things but I can't tell where it is from exactly, it is just so ambiguous . You post some songs/artist I most likely would of never found on my own or several years later.

Now I'm motivated to have my next trip hop post contain more foreign styles.

dutch person in france, more british culture influenced (reggaeskadub) than american i suggest,
you tube finds these things, + music i know already (from disk, most likely, sound not that good on yt)
i found this now,
from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiKoPX7bIlg, which has a whole bunch of albums in the sideline, this is too electronic for me tbh

also eg. i got records from 80"s suns of arqa, some triphop before its name
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoOENkL4t4k
or other pioneers of this avenue, and lots of jamaican engineers, lee scratch perry, king tubby, scientist, etc

Thanks your post got my brain flowing and I just remembered an album I found on youtube half a year ago. From some Hungarian guy named Gabor Szabo, this album could be considered an ancestor of trip hop. Especially the song Galatea's Guitar.





Someone on soundcloud added drum beats and now it sounds like a modern trip hop song.

Have you ever heard of Banks or Marian Hill? They seem like something up your alley. There is another artist/song on the tip of my tongue I can't seem to remember the name of right now.

It sounds well produced but the angles aren't there. I mostly had the Goldilox tune I posted grow on me in context with the DBridge Slick Tapes mix I linked earlier (if you haven't heard that yet it's amazing). IAMDDB I wasn't quite sure about for the first few tunes, think my first exposure to her - like Children of Zeus - was through Lenzman, but I'm seeing where she's pulling here style together pretty sharply. LayFullTilt has some similar mashedup and stuttered beats but not so much in the one I posted - that's closer to being like a J-Dilla/Slum Village beat hack.

I think with female vocalists, like earlier with Sevdaliza, I like being taken to immersive and challenging places. It's a tough order so I usually don't spend a lot of time looking for new female vocalists to get into and when I do find them I consider it fortunate.

This might be reaching outside the box again but Stray's been on fire the the last three or four years (he's also 1/3 of Ivy Lab alongside Sabre and Halogenix). He's got a promo mix for this EP, Paradise Crossing, on Soundcloud - really sharp selection.

Huh I felt the same away about a couple of the songs you posted as well needing to grow on me. That DBridge mix on soundcloud felt meh to me but that The Levels song featuring DBridge sounded great though.

I found this Glass Animal song featuring Tei Shi in case you haven't heard it

I'm glad Gorillaz made a song like this on this new album, I wish they had more like it though

And I don't get it twisted. I think if I've learned anything about music and sharing it with other people in the last several years (I have a few friends who are veterans from here who get together and share on Facebook) it's that it'll constantly surprise you what people agree with you/me on and what they don't. For example I posted I think one of the more meaningful tunes I've heard in a while in terms of dnb, Monsters by Loxy, Resound, Blocks, and Esher. It seems like anything I'm 95% on other people are 45 or 50% on but we all agree on what we're 75 or 80% on. It's weird like that.

In other words yeah - I'd fully expect us to differ in tastes at a certain level, it's one of those things along with death and taxes you can pretty much guarantee. You're good people! Keep up the good work and keep finding more beats.

That is gorgeous and thank you for the share. TBH one of the things I've been annoyed by is people going after her like she's the Carlos Mencia of pop music. She did have one tune early on where it's pretty convincing that she bit someone's style and - it's a free mp3/download in acapella on her Soundcloud. At the same time - she wouldn't be able to come up with the rest of this if she didn't have the talent to float on her own merit.
