Any Unkle fans,suggestions please.

If not already mentioned, the HEADZ compliations are well worth a look too, although quite rare, have a dig in your local 2nd hand cd shop.

I had totally forgotten about these! Some of my favorites from MO Wax.

Brilliant thread. I have listened to Endtroducing more than any other album (except maybe Select Ambient Works)

Takes me back to my youth, smoking soap bar and listening to MO Wax 😆

Can we change the title of this thead to something along the lines of:

Official Trip hop, ambient, chillout and generally awesome music thead?

Ahhhh,thank the lord for an 18 year old James Lavelle with the coolest record label in the world. Have we seen anything like that since?

The Heliocentrics album has a really similar vibe to a lot of the Headz-era stuff, but played live. Drummer Malcolm Catto has been known to join in at DJ Shadow live gigs – he smashes it.

If you can find the Nike/Mowax promo CD that was given away free in magazines/Sports shops its well worth a listen. Produced by Richard File, who is now part of Unkle after departure of DJ Shadow.

This Psychonauts mix is wortt a listen too:

as is this James Lavelle Mix on Cream 2, with a blinding remix of clubbed to death at 24:25 (Clubbed to Death 2 – Rob Dougan / AKA Theme from the matrix). ooooh its givin me the shivvers maaaaannn

can you tell I am HUUUGE Mowax fan?

lets not forget DJ Krush eh?

I remember the first time I heard in/flux. I was at a house party in Leeds and someone had it on a cheap hi-fi but output to a humungous electric bass amp. After that I spent far too much money on a lot of the vinyl mentioned on this thread. Looking forward to letting my kids discover it…

…I might steer them clear of Shadow’s Insider which left me distinctly disappointed tho’.

I think someone posted this above, but it was always a fave…

EDIT: someone LITERALLY just beat me to it 😆

or Dr Octagon?

ATTICA BLUES

bass at 2:20 to full on funk out at 2:58, used to love this track!

Yep yep yep!

GLK’s own stuff leaves me a bit cold, although that mix someone posted above is awesome, Jello Biafra intro and all.

That Nike cd got me started on mo wax and associated artists.
I still have disc in my collection 🙂
Labels to look out for
Ninjatune
Mo wax
Moving shadow

Wikipedia will take you on an epic search of sub labels and artists to search on.

Guessing Quannum Projects, Lateef and Blackalicious have already been mentioned?

GLK’s own stuff leaves me a bit cold,

agree, but his dj mixes are great.

Did someone mention Malcolm Catto? One of the best drummers ever, nearly up there with Bernard Purdie.

RJD2

Mostly the older stuff thougg

and Amon Tobin is a bit different but incredible, supermodified my fave album

Ha! I think he sees himself as a bit of a bodger, there’s no doubt that he hits the drums HARD though. His solo stuff is interesting, also came out on Mo’Wax funnily enough. It was clogging up the bargain bins for ages as I think people expected something a bit more mellow:

There’s also this industrial drums/synth badassness:

I think he sees himself as a bit of a bodger

He’s one funky bodger. 😉

No trip hop forum should miss out Portishead or Geoff Barrow

This thread sent me back to a few records I haven’t played in a while…

Cool Breeze Assimilation – Dorado put out some good albums.

Skylab Skylab#1 – one of Howie B’s many guises…

Tek 9 It’s Not What You Think It Is !!?! – Mark and Dego = musical polymaths.

A good time in music, despite various skinny baggy-jeaned hipsters arguing over the merits of dubstep “trip-hop”. 😉

Bop has hit it in the last couple on years on hospital records.
You need big speakers to lit the low, lows 🙂

Randomer is also EPIC

Kid koala is hit and miss but the hit,s are amazing

Finally

Dj Kentaro –

Enjoyed that Kid Koala DJ set immensely – ta.
(agreed – his albums don’t do much for me)

How could I forget mr scruff

Adding Stereo Pictures Vol 3 mixtape by Dj Vadim

also to mention the King Cannibal Ninjatune mix The Way of the Ninja, no snippet can do that justice.

HUGE Dj Shadow set by Food on this weeks part 3 of Solid Steel. The start of it is doing wonders too! Sounding good so far.

Rewski: I bet you’ve now learnt to keep everything you own and become a hoarder! (like me) Sounds like a fun time. I live up north and nothing every really made its way up here to see live all those years ago. Edinburgh or Glasgow was the closest.

I liked the GLK’s ‘nissim’ track mixed in on a recent Solid Steel (maybe 3 weeks ago) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-vJSZE8OLE Nice bit of music. The guy seems to get slated quite a bit but I’m not entirely sure why. :O/ His website has a few mixes to play for free. Worth a look.

RE:Kid Koala. I saw him live in QMU? Glasgow on a Ninja tour and some of the stuff you hear on his albums might not sound up to much but it’s once you see how he generates those sounds and turns them into music.. or tricked you all along by making you think he was scratching a record that had a trumpet playing (drunk trumpet), when it wasn’t quite as simple as that.. you see just how good he really is live (with cameras filming the decks and projected behind him so you could see what was going on)

I still need to listen to all the stuff you guys posted. It blows the other music threads to bits as its all revolving around the same thing. Cheers!

I’m not a huge fan of mix CDs in general but two that are very much worth tracking down in the context of this thread are Andrew Weatherall’s contribution to the Back 2 Basics ‘Cut the Crap’ compilation from about 95/96(?) and slightly more recently, Joe Beats’ ‘Indie Rock Blues’ album, compiled from his own remixes.

(no idea how to put youtube snippets on)

Joe Beats’ ‘Indie Rock Blues’

Nice, not heard before, thanks for the heads up.

King Cannibal Ninjatune mix The Way of the Ninja

Just found on Spotify – listening now.

Bumping this to let folks know Dj Yoda is curating the show on BBC 6music right now, with Tom Robinson. Well worth listen
