Occult roots of dubstep! I have plans for refixes of some of those tunes...

Ahhhh... :) Saw them at their prime. Incendiary. See also My Bloody Valentine.

There's a real hipster antipathy to Badu -- bit too coffee table I suppose. I like her!

[/quote]Prefer logical progressions personally.

Recently I've been listening to a lot of Miles Davis / Gil Evans gear again, plus some 80s Womack, some folky soul... The new rocksteady compo on Moll Selekta has bene on heavy rotation too. And advance CDs of John Eden's new mix :)

I find alot of people who like minimal techno have an ear for dubstep..

Thanks for the heads up mate, will check out your suggestions...

That Portishead album, i discovered a new track the other day 'Its a Fire' is that a bonus track or somethign because any other copy of the album ive got doesnt have it on there, really good track as well.

Yeh definately man

Although for me it actually worked the other way round! I was more of warp records glitch boy re: electronic music (aside from my near obsession with hip-hop throughout teenage years), am very very much a latecomer to 'minimal'. Theyve got a lot in common in my opinion, space, less is more etc. And emphasis on softer, echo chamber vibes and trippy atmospherics

is it not different tho, emphasis on specific recommendations? And if you dont feel you've got anything to take from it then you just dont read it? Finding it difficult to phrase this without it sounding confrontational, its not

You can't go far wrong with labels like Warp/Rephlex/Planet-Mu. Most decent genres of music have been represented in their somewhere.

Planet-Mu in particular has picked up alot recently, that Boxcutter EP is absolutely stunning in my opinion. Equinox tunes too, dread!
