also not mentioned MF Doom, Pete Rock, Cut Chemist, The Herbaliser, Blockhead, Kid Koala, DJ Food and much of late 90's Ninja Tune stuff is lovely as well

anyone knows which producer did the Roots Manuva's albums? or did he produce himself? most of his tracks have brilliant instrumentals
He produces himself to my knowledge, uses the alias Lord Gosh a lot. Ha, i don't mind his music, but i just remembered what Burial said about The Herbaliser, harsh things.

rodney smyth = lord gosh ? hmm, interesting, didnt know that. thanks

in retrospect, feelin that 1st roots manuva album both the most, and in a way the least. theres plenty average stuff on it, but some of the more lo-fi dubby tracks, like inna, are unique imo. and i mean dubby in a rattling 70s way, not in a slick over-processed digidub way.

all the albums after Brand New 2nd Hand r a bit pop by comparisson and kind of got made redundant by the arrival of grime anyway

my mate Eddie is in a crew called Bump Nasties (aka Paycheck aka Park View Groove). they're making some sick hip hop, some of the freshest sounding instrumentals i've heard for a while...i'm gonna hopefully feature on the next mixtape under my hip-hop alius, Tarqwin Smythe, so keep an eye out!

You can download an old mixtape of theirs here:

YES! he's a god. his use of space is amazing and probably got some parallels to space with dubstep

gah really need to start listening to more hip hop. haven't listened to it properly for what's probably getting on for a few years

all bout lukid for me at the moment. his stuff is out on werk.

not really hip-hop but disrupt has some good dubby bleepiness going on that does remind me of hip-hop grooves

lukid, rustie and flying lotus have been the best 'new' artists in this genre imho.

the disrupt album is great - my 'find' of last year.

Have you heard the Kaman Leung - Lacriminal album?
