Any specialists in the field of "Trip-Hop"?
Not sure I understand how this type of music ever came about.
I like Tricky and Portishead, but I'm trying to expand my horizons into dark uncharted territory.
Videos are a plus, but uploads are hugely appreciated.

i think dj krush would be a good start

+1 on Krush, amazing work.

Here's a few popular names for you:

Sneaker Pimps
Lamb
Supreme Beings of Leisure
Thievery Corporation

Kruder & Dorfmeister - The K&D Sessions

essential album, and an incredibly collectible/rare vinyl set that i'm dying to own

Massive Attack of course. Some of Björk's earlier stuff too as a lot was produced by Tricky. Check the albums Debut and Post. Also a lot of UNKLE and some Leftfield too. Even some DJ Shadow. He used to be in UNKLE.

I still play the Sneaker Pimps Becoming X album a lot. They got rid of Kelli and now Chris Corner does all the singing, it's still quite good but I'm more into female vocals. Kelli Dayton has some solo projects going on with releases on One Little Indian still that are pretty good. A lot of it is more folk type electronica though, but since I know you are into folk inspired female singers as well, check her out:

Krush

That's about all I know

Smith & Mighty.

emancipator- safe in the steep cliffs
bonobo- dial "m" for monkey

2 great albums

Krush is DOPE, I've seen him play, AWESOME DJ and Producer! Met a long term Girlfriend at one of his shows, in fact.
Massive Attack is a name I know, but I've never gone too deep into their work.
Considering how amazing the new Massive Attack/Burial 12" is, I'm about to dive DEEP into their retrospective.
If anyone has any TripHop Mixes, I would love to have a listen.

a mix i made, i reckon it qualifies as trip-hop (another completely vague and undefinable genre imo)

but the divide between downtempo and trip-hop blurs a bit here, no?

in any case:
+1 for krush
blockhead (if he counts)
nightmares on wax
sneaker pimps
sofa surfers
wax tailor

Yeah, it is a blurred genre name, most I'd mention have been mentioned but here are a few more that at least roughly fit into that sort of style:

Amon Tobin, DJ Vadim, Herbaliser, Kid Loco, Prefuse 73, Red Snapper, Tosca

Myself and kochari have some incredible stuff on the way, keep it peeled.

Morcheeba

This thread needs some RJD2:


Love Trip-Hop
