How about the following for melodic, dancy, trippy dub?
Kruder & Dorfmeister
Tosca
Statik Sound System
Thievery Corporation
Massive Attack/Mad Professor
Grantby
Rockers Hi Fi
Smith & Mighty
Sassi & Loco (A Stephen Mallinder alias)
A lot of stuff on Cup of Tea records.
Unfortunately (for me) this sort of stuff doesn't seem to get discussed
here very often. Am I on the wrong list?
