A friend of mine is all excited about a certain kind of music that hasn't
been very clearly pigeon-holed, and I've decided to ask around and see if
anyone has some suggestions about what else he might listen to. I think
it's pretty likely someone on here will have some ideas, even if this is
not under the narrow definition of IDM...
Basically, he likes things like Skull, more recent DJ Krush, the Shi-Ra-Nui
originals on that Sub Rosa versus Shi-Ra-Nui album... I'd describe it as
ragged instrumental hip-hop. He uses words like "muddy", "slab-like" and
"willful" when he's getting enthused about it. He definitely enjoys stuff
that is happy to fall out of time and tonality, as well as the use of found
sound as some kind of riff or melody.
Before anyone suggests it, while he's happy with things to be dirty and
crusty sounding, he definitely doesn't seem fond of the kind of aggro or
evil vibe of eg. Techno Animal. But if anyone has any other ideas I'd be
keen to line up a surprise pressy or two for him. : )
thanks,
Michael
