Heavy Elctro sync breakbeats, some indie alt vocals, good stuff... not much out by them :(... still check out Ungirthed and Loftcries. On a side note, this is a side project by Corrin Roddick of 'Gobble Gobble'... so if you like their stuff dont miss 'Purity Ring'

Ghost Poet

Thanks to Shevlonius who I teefed this find from. Ghost Poet's style was best described by an author on Last Fm as a "handful of off-kilter, loopy electronic ditties blessed with his delightfully rambling musings on modern life." I'd say his style has elements of Trip Hop, great slightly fragmented electronic beats, with a poetry jam feel... Def worth a library addition.

Track: Cash & Carry Me Home, Album: Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam (2011)



Last FM

St.Germain

Holy Other

Last FM author put it best ... "The sound he creates are hyper-aggressive, violent but amazingly calming that feels like slow, pulverizing pounds of lush, raw ambient surrounded by drones and screwed samples then drained by layers of orchestral soul enshrined in burial inspired dubstep beats." If that sounds like your thing and you like the sample check it out... Its trips me out to be honest... eDosing..

Track: We Over, Album: We Over 7" (2010)

Ayatollah

Ayatollah is a great hiphop producer, utilizing a lot of old soul/funk as samples. His stuff is fresh... though I was definitely more impressed with his older albums like 'Cocoon'.
