I'm looking for some similar artists to Sick Animation (Marc M.). His CD is pretty much really catchy songs about really taboo subjects. Any kind of Taboo/sexual songs should be fine, I just want something to laugh at and catch myself singing in my head at times.
The idea occoured to me when I was watching SNL and that "jizz in my pants" song came up. Catchy, funny.

Try Disco D - he's insanely vulgar

Does anyone know anything which sounds like Darwin Chamber?

I'd imagine there's a lot out there, I just don't know who did it all

Well the requirements you laid out pretty much preclude most rap that has any kind of real cultural or artistic significance.

Wrong, De La Soul

I'm really into african rap at the moment, along the lines of X Plastaz : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yescF-rNB8

Has anyone got any more bass-heavy yet very jumpy stuff like this?

I know very very little about techno or electronica (?) music but I always enjoy it when I hear a really chill "techno" song. Maybe chill trance song? I don't know. I'd like to get into that world but I don't know where to start. Can anyone recommend me anything?

I'd also like to hear a lot more along the lines of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWbpmVZjswQ if at all possible so I'll add my voice to this chorus

still looking for african rap as well

I dunno about East African stuff, but from Southern Africa you could get:

Mr Leub's two "A Trip to Johannesburg" mixtapes for kwaito (house-hiphop mix, kinda)

&

Frederic Galliano's "Kuduro Sound System" and some free internet mixes called "100% Kuduro" and "Kuduro Style" by whoever for kuduro (Angolan dance music that Buraka are doing a lot promoting in Europe and America)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGYQJti-JGg hahaha search for mr leub on youtube

Does anyone know much about breakbeat like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtd9_XFYO00

Or the rest of that album, come to think about it. The Ghetto Electro Chronicles, by Darwin Chamber.

It's a big genre, but I'd be happy to recommend you a few artists from my sphere of interest. I'm most into the atmospheric side of jungle / drum & bass, as exemplified by LTJ Bukem, his Good Looking label and its offshoots.

First stop is Logical Progression, a mix CD by Bukem featuring many of his early tunes as well as material from others on Good Looking. Very essential. After that I would recommend looking into these albums, in no specific order:

Big Bud - Infinity + Infinity
Adam F - Colours
Goldie - Timeless
LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards
Omni Trio - Even Angels Cast Shadows

There are an absolute ton of compilations and mix CDs on Good Looking, but I don't want to overwhelm you on just one sub-genre when you're just getting into D&B.

I would like to find a lot more of the airy stuff like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_TOpHLdFZk

I'm having a Middle-Eastern themed dinner party tomorrow and need some appropriate dinner music. Something relatively low-key that stays in the background and enhances the setting. Doesn't matter where it's from, as long as it has a distinctive Middle-Eastern sound to it.

Any ideas?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTIff1Tba_k is what you are looking for

I'm looking for something that sounds both a lot like m83 (particularly highway of endless dreams and moonchild) and this song by neon indian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_6uLlLqCrY

Any suggestions?

May not be exactly what you're looking for, but Jatun might rub you the right way.

This is an excellent recommendation.

Got anything more in a similar vein?
