Where are you from if you don't mind me asking. I noticed you post a lot of foreign things but I can't tell where it is from exactly, it is just so ambiguous . You post some songs/artist I most likely would of never found on my own or several years later.

Now I'm motivated to have my next trip hop post contain more foreign styles.

dutch person in france, more british culture influenced (reggaeskadub) than american i suggest,
you tube finds these things, + music i know already (from disk, most likely, sound not that good on yt)
i found this now,
from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiKoPX7bIlg, which has a whole bunch of albums in the sideline, this is too electronic for me tbh

also eg. i got records from 80"s suns of arqa, some triphop before its name
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoOENkL4t4k
or other pioneers of this avenue, and lots of jamaican engineers, lee scratch perry, king tubby, scientist, etc

Thanks your post got my brain flowing and I just remembered an album I found on youtube half a year ago. From some Hungarian guy named Gabor Szabo, this album could be considered an ancestor of trip hop. Especially the song Galatea's Guitar.





Someone on soundcloud added drum beats and now it sounds like a modern trip hop song.

Have you ever heard of Banks or Marian Hill? They seem like something up your alley. There is another artist/song on the tip of my tongue I can't seem to remember the name of right now.

It sounds well produced but the angles aren't there. I mostly had the Goldilox tune I posted grow on me in context with the DBridge Slick Tapes mix I linked earlier (if you haven't heard that yet it's amazing). IAMDDB I wasn't quite sure about for the first few tunes, think my first exposure to her - like Children of Zeus - was through Lenzman, but I'm seeing where she's pulling here style together pretty sharply. LayFullTilt has some similar mashedup and stuttered beats but not so much in the one I posted - that's closer to being like a J-Dilla/Slum Village beat hack.

I think with female vocalists, like earlier with Sevdaliza, I like being taken to immersive and challenging places. It's a tough order so I usually don't spend a lot of time looking for new female vocalists to get into and when I do find them I consider it fortunate.

This might be reaching outside the box again but Stray's been on fire the the last three or four years (he's also 1/3 of Ivy Lab alongside Sabre and Halogenix). He's got a promo mix for this EP, Paradise Crossing, on Soundcloud - really sharp selection.

Huh I felt the same away about a couple of the songs you posted as well needing to grow on me. That DBridge mix on soundcloud felt meh to me but that The Levels song featuring DBridge sounded great though.

I found this Glass Animal song featuring Tei Shi in case you haven't heard it

I'm glad Gorillaz made a song like this on this new album, I wish they had more like it though

And I don't get it twisted. I think if I've learned anything about music and sharing it with other people in the last several years (I have a few friends who are veterans from here who get together and share on Facebook) it's that it'll constantly surprise you what people agree with you/me on and what they don't. For example I posted I think one of the more meaningful tunes I've heard in a while in terms of dnb, Monsters by Loxy, Resound, Blocks, and Esher. It seems like anything I'm 95% on other people are 45 or 50% on but we all agree on what we're 75 or 80% on. It's weird like that.

In other words yeah - I'd fully expect us to differ in tastes at a certain level, it's one of those things along with death and taxes you can pretty much guarantee. You're good people! Keep up the good work and keep finding more beats.

That is gorgeous and thank you for the share. TBH one of the things I've been annoyed by is people going after her like she's the Carlos Mencia of pop music. She did have one tune early on where it's pretty convincing that she bit someone's style and - it's a free mp3/download in acapella on her Soundcloud. At the same time - she wouldn't be able to come up with the rest of this if she didn't have the talent to float on her own merit.

I find it good that we all have some differences in taste otherwise things would get too boring. And I like to believe our differences in taste will eventually get us to expose each other to something we may have not tasted before and actually like.

Anyway I was listening to Skye Edwards solo work (I had no idea she left Morcheeba at one point), I found her cover song on the famous Gorillaz song Feel Good Inc, and and WOW! I think I like it more than the original song. I'd love to hear Damon Albarn sing on these instrumentals as well.

I love the little ding at 0:40 when she sings "All I wanna hear is the message beep"


Her other songs are pretty good I think her solo stuff is better than a lot of her Morcheeba work.





She also collaborated with Marc Collin, a musician from a French group called Nouvelle Vague for an album consisting of popular songs from 80s movies called Hollywood, Mon Amour.

I found a lounge/trip hop band called SHINE and they sound great!! ! I'm not really a fan of upbeat trip hop but these guys are really good. In fact Paul Godfrey who is one of the producers for Morcheeba loves the band. Even Tricky complimented the band. They went on tour with Morcheeba in France and Italy and also did an opening for Sia in 2004. Despite being loved by big names and working with them they're still a pretty underrated hidden gem. I think it has to do with their band name, it is not very unique and search engine friendly, I was only able to find out about them through Morcheeba and typing in a specific album of theirs because I kept getting other bands and songs that had the word "Shine".

They've only released two albums so far the first one being The Common Station and the other being Judas And Mary. I'm glad I found them, I haven't listened to trip hop as much lately since most of it is dark and it really sets the mood for me when it is dark and cold weather but since summer is around the corner it gets harder to enjoy it and feel the chills. Their songs are pretty relaxing and I definitely see myself chilling to The Common Station album during summer break when I'm traveling.

Soulful Music is easily my most favorite song from them and it really stands out from the rest of their songs. How they mix lounge, soul and trip hop together is very melodious.


Ashbury is my second pick. That sax in the later half is fantastic.

Midlife Zone is easily a close third

Hawai gives off a little bit alienish vibes.

I lay on my bed and stare at ceiling and still get stimulate by this song

I feel like taking a stroll and looking up at the sky while listening to Judas And Mary

Does retrowave count? I'm listening to Mitch Murder as I write this, but I also like some trip hop. I also recently discovered lo-fi and I think Chilled Cow's stuff on YouTube is an excellent place to start on that genre. My music tastes are very wide and I like many different artists and styles. I'd spend forever trying to list everything I'm into

Another moving albeit minimal split-tempo piece:

Well if you can find a synthwave song that has some trip hop vibes than sure. I'm kinda sick of lo-fi hip hop, it is hard to find anything that stands out it is all starting to sound generic to me. Especially with it being a fad right now, tons of people jumping on the bandwagon and dumping their quickly and thoughtlessly produced songs with random 90s anime pictures and videos thrown paired with them.


That sounds pretty good, I hear some trance vibes in it

My Earthling Humandust album has finally came in, soon I'll rip the songs off my CD and upload them
