Sorry Pedro, but I got to disagree with you on that one.
I wouldn't call what you described above triphop, I'd just call it
repetitive shit. I take it your from Miami, so you must know that
Icee/Miami Bass style well...It's not triphop, it's too way to fast to
be called that. We call it 'funky breaks' out here on the west coast
and like it or not, it moves people on the dancefloor. I'll admit it,
I've got just about every record Icee's put out. Most people love'em,
the same way most people love house music.
I'd call the stuff on Ninja Tune, trip-hop, as far as anything is...I'd
even say that hands down its some of the best trip-hop there is on the
planet.
Some call triphop, hiphop with out the rap. Well I say, Crap on a bat,
if my momma ain't fat...
An old quote I found:

Well now, we all know Luke's been been doing some samples nowdays too
('smoke a joint' and the Amen Break come to mind).
Really, all that I've said is bullshit, the main reason is that I call
this stuff trip-hop for lack of a better word. Some people call all
electronic music 'house' in the same fashion. I call it all techno or
just electronic music...It's just semantics!
So, bottom line, if you like 'down-tempo breakbeat on a funked out,
smooth & jazzy tip' check out:
Artist
WagonChrist - 'Throbbing Pouch' (this man can do no wrong by me!)
Naked Funk - 'Valium' (another fav around my house)
Kitachi - Everything (more on a dub tip)
Skylab/Howie B - Everyting (check out butt meat?!?)
Nightmares on Wax - Evertying (Smoker's Delight!)
Depth Charge - Everthing (especially Nine Deadly Venoms)
Palmskin Productions - Everything (especially Remixelr and the beast)
Strange Brew - (Wow! Who is this? I want more!)
Labels
React - 'Dope on Plastic/Wax' series - All, especially DOP 2
Mo Wax - Most everything, ie: RPM, Dj Shadow, U.N.K.L.E, Funk Mob,
Attica Blues
Skint - lots of good stuff, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Midfield General, Fatboy
Slim
PussyFoot - lots of good stuff also
Pork - more good stuff...
and of course,
Anything on Ninja Tune!
Hope this helps,

Flesh Eating Disco Zombies

The Bionic Hookers from Mars
