Anyone else a fan? Just been going through my old hip-hop collection after a massive hiatus of listening to any non-dubstep and I forgot how many old jems there are. And no spamming up this shit with too much flying lotus plz.

Noise + hip-hop = win


Rhyming your verses is so 1993


An old classic


Another classic from the anticon school of folk hip-hop


Not that abstract, but the combination of country music and hip-hop is wonderful. He can tell stories better than Aesop Rock.


Also, I'm not posting this in the wonk subforum, too many chris brown cigarettes.

dalek are sick!!!!! been following them a while now!!

i used to love dalek back inna di day, they're playing at a tiny little club near where i live in Exeter.. not sure if i should go see them or not, i havent heard any of their new stuff, and even the old stuff was allways quite noisy so i dunno how good the live show would be.

When I first heard them I thought 'wtf is this shit?' but the more I listened, the more I fell in love. Wonderfully dark, although it's a shame they don't use dutty noise loops in their newer productions. Still, wonderful unique stuff. Only other shit that compares is Techno Animal

The new stuff doesn't use the old noise formula. It's still very dark, but relies more on dark ambient/droning sounds rather than in your face noise.

Soundtrack of my teens, nothing beats the following;

DJ Krush makes some beautiful stuff. He gets some fantastic guest cuts too. This will always be a firm favourite, always reminds me of bonobo but with a bigger hip-hop edge, aswell as pre-dating him -


And cannibal ox goes without saying, utter legends in the scene, and the production levels on the cold vein are insane.

and of course;

Dälek are fucking amazing. Saw them at The Croft in Bristol a few years ago... fucking changed the game, as far as I'm concerned. I think they're touring soon... but playing London on a fucking Sunday.

My favourite tune:

They're amazing live - seen them once with just the Producer/MC, once with Producer/MC/DJ and once doing a split lineup with Zu.. brilliant every time... but it wil be noisy (that's sort of the point).

Plus, MC Dälek looks like Bluto from Popeye, if that helps convince you a bit.

Wow loving sole - selling live water.

No hip-hop I've ever heard is instrumentally 'abstract' at all, and I've heard a lot since hip-hop's my first love, but plenty of hip-hop, even some mad straight-forward shit, has abstract vibes. This one takes the cake.

More lyrically abstract than clouddead and deep puddle dynamics combined

Not that abstract, good though.


And this one.

Saw him in Bristol once, he was great. Don't own any of his stuff though - any recommends on albums?
