okay, i'm not sure if it has already been discussed, but damn i'm still surpised & happy that the offbeat hip hop (just to put a name on it even if it's not a genre) & dubstep scenes are gettin closer every day, seriously i've never been so happy with music since i discovered the golden era hip hop in the early 90's! check the samyiam ep on hyperdub, of course the mix with flying lotus & kode 9 & there's also gaslamp killer playing dmz in his mix! any of u got other names, tracks or mixes to suggest? any opinion about this?

Nice offbeat drop

the new 2tall LP is wicked:

http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/se ... =CNT1005LP

was listening to the ratatat hip hop remixes the other day and i reckon some of these are on quite a wonky flex, seem to pre-date the post-dilla flying lotus stuff as well. check the remix of Biggie "dead wrong" and "party and bullshit"...adds something fresh to the originals anyway.

yes!! between that, and the grime voice overs on dubstep tracks.. Im digging both the stuff from us and uk mc's getting reworking of tracks for dubstep. It brings the us and uk scene's a bit closer imo!

That sounds brilliant, I just saw them in a little half empty place in York hehe...

They still brought it though, they have somebad ass beats and hell when they whip out the guitar solo's over the hip-hop beat people where going crazy.

interesting to read this! been thinking about this a lot recently.

went to FWD last night.. Alex Nut from Rinse was doing the warm up.. was really mad to see dubstep heads checking out some of the weirdo hip hop..

I've been following the beats scene for the last few years. Not surprisingly the main artists people have heard of are Flying Lotus and his LA cohorts - Samiyam, Gaslamp. obviously with the amount of promo / coverage for FlyLo / brainfeeder they are getting lots of attention. In actual fact, dark wonky electronic beats like that exist all round the world - the "scene" has been going for years.

Here's a list of all the artists - i'll update it with myspaces, as many names as i can think of.

Mike Slott (together = Heralds Of Change)
Rustie
Lucky Me crew (includes those mentioned, plus Surface Empire, The Blessings, many more - lots of great mixes if you like mohawke & rustie) - http://www.thisisluckyme.com/
All City Records dublin (check the 7 x 7 beatstrumentals series)

Amsterdam / netherlands

labels:
Eat Concrete
Kindred Spirits (put out 12"s like Nod Navigators, etc)
Cinnaman (beat dimensions)
Tom Trago
Mamiko Motto aka 1.1 (check for her radio shows on Samurai.fm)

London / England

Lukid
2Tall
Morgan Zarate

Turkey:

Onur Engin
Ahu aka Dolly

Bulgaria:

1000 names (their stuff was messing up heads last night!!!)

you can take the man outta the southwest..

Morgan Zarate's new tunes are sick, and bullion killed it with that EP, I forget the name. BTW Mr Beatnick that release you had with Ahu is fire aswell, good shit.

nice one jubs.. morgan's playing gramaphone on wednesday with benji b, that should be a nice one. "M.A.B" on Fat City records is still the shit.

Bullion "Get Familiar" sounded ridiculous at FWD last night. seems like quite a few dubstep heads are feeling that one.
