Hiphop has an interesting role on this list. A small portion of the music spoken of here is DJ music which sounds like hip hop without a rapper (Food, Krush), but the vast majority of the musicians spoken of on this list have almost no discernable hiphop influence whatsoever. I think I detect a slight note of scorn when people refer to "downbeat" stuff and "trip hop". Any thoughts on this? -Chris Fahey

I would say that the entire music industry is influenced by hip-hop and that the american film/MTV industry is too. It is difficult to imagine that contemporary western culture has not been influenced by hip-hop. I would say that Warp and almost all other labels that we speak of on this list have been influenced by hip-hop in a major way, whether they know their influences or not. It is of major importance to me as a programmer or writer of electronica. I probably receive more inspiration from hip-hop, architecture and design than I do anything discussed on this list.
