Help me please

[Loz]

My music collection is drastically lacking on the electronica/dance side. Being rather closed off from the scene due to my location and friend's music tastes, I really don't know what to buy to expand it.

I love listening to new music, but not crap new music. So please recommend me some stuff that I should buy and enjoy.

For guidelines, my music taste is pretty broad, ranging from Radiohead to Massive Attack, Eric Clapton to Public Enemy, Primal Scream to DJ Shadow, Aphex Twin to Leonard Cohen.

In the electronica/dance areas, my records consist of most Warp Label stuff, Leftfield, DJ Shadow, Cristian, Super_Collider, Unkle, Avalanches, Mr Scruff, Zero 7, and Fuzz Townshend.

So, please let me know of records (I have no decks or other vinyl playing facilities, so stuff available in digital compact disc format is preferable) that I should locate and buy, and I shall do my best to do so.

If you let me know the label it's on (or distributor if it's a different one) that'd help my local record shop locate it for me.

Thanks very much in advance.

[Loz]

from the UK, right in the middle, of no where, that is.

I love intelligent hip hop, and if you do to, I recommend Biro Funk by Braintax. Out on Lowlife Records www.lowliferecords.co.uk it's really fantastic stuff.

I shall check those two out, thanks!

[pille'ocheoni]

lowlife records?is that still herbert's label,....atleast i have some stuff on that label,i think..........you know herbert's kick for ending everything with life.like lifelike\soundslike\lowlife,an d accidental.but anyways ill check him out.

[wheezer]

.... which reminds me - I have a spare copy of lowlife 01 lying around... anybody interested?

[pille'ocheoni]

maybe,what's the quality?and who's on that one again?isnt it a 45?

[wheezer]

@pille

it's a 12", I think it was 45rpm but I'm a work right now so I may be wrong, slowmotion herbert stuff, deep, good & apparently ultra-limited, for some reason I have two flying around lol the copy I could get rid of is virtually unplayed...

@loz
off the bat I'd recommend checking out labels like mille plateaux, rephlex, schematic - labels that imho consistently output quality stuff, and also regularly in cd format. other stuff may follow if and when I come home from work

[deccard]

try some ninja tunes:
amon tobin - (monumental breaks)everything from him is good
cinematic orchestra (the name sais it all)- the old and new one are different but good
dj vadim (hip hop)makes killa dope beats and features always some cool
mc´s.

dj krush has a new one out too. (dark triphop) he has skills...and fucking fast fingers.
and there is a new dj shadow but it could have been a lil bit darker for my taste.

and the new sofa surfers (encounters) feat. intelligent hip hop

[KaOz]

yeah vadim and tobin rockz da house

anyway u have to check out Dntel (may the " life is full of possibilities LP )

or schneider tm

Dntel´s LP is released on plug research, brilliant one.

I heard them on Thursday before Super_Collider and they didn’t get me dancing. It wasn’t my music, I don’t know exactly why but it was kind of boring to me.

[pille'ocheoni]

dntel is great check him out for sure.

[piscaries]

check out an album by "opiate" on april records/hobby industries called "objects for an ideal home." mellow and playful.. one of my favs. there's also a good cd by a group called "machinedrum" on merck. it's super-choppy but really smooth hip-hop. and then there's also another guy that goes by "trs-80" i don't remember what label he's on (maybe hefty?), but i've been planning on getting some of his stuff.

[KaOz]

yeah Dntel rockz da house ...specially the "life is full of possibilities "LP
its a MUST ofr everybody...

[KaOz]

and a hot tip is boom bip.. this guy is great.. he did a remix for jamie too ( remix of daddys car ) mellow, but it comes with a lot of energy...it always hypnotize me...

[Lady E]

maybe i will give it another go...
