Music Recommendations Please

[Vladamir]

I'm looking for a certain type of music - apparently it's known as Down-tempo but i couldn't be certain on that.

The sort of stuff i'm after is similar to DJ Shadow (Entroducing album in particular) and Blockhead.

Any ideas?

Is this the sort of thing you mean?

DJ Shadow

Good artist. I can't really point anything like that really, at least, nothing that doesn't fall under the Industrail/Electonica genré. If you get anything, I'll be listening too.

"the bristol sound" or trip hop is a more accurate definition for DJ Shadow, Blockhead, Massive Attack etc. to be picky, but there are certainly a lot of crossovers.

Trip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i find this kind of music really patchy and have to be really in the mood for it, but that wikipedia entry has some moderately interesting info.

triphop.hu - the international downtempo music webzine since 2002

seems to be a web-site focusing on reviewing trip hop records, maybe you can find more stuff you like there also?

then of course there is stuff like ninja tune records which has kinda trip hop artists such as Mr. Scruff and Kid Koala etc.
