Nujabes is blowing my mind, looking for anything similar. Jazzy hip-hop I guess. Only other things I've checked out are Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla, DJ Krush.

Wow that's pretty good, thanks!

Cool, thanks. I'm coming from an electronic music background, lot of deepish stuff so anything mostly instrumental or jazzy is cool with me.

With Nujabes, I heard luv(sic) part 3 and I was just blown away. Also "think different" off modal soul, the background instrumentals are amazing

Yes I'm familiar with him, probably like Los Angeles the best. I do wish the tracks were a little longer though.

cool, thanks for the links!

some of the stuff on the album also has a definite synth-pop and italo-disco vibe. that seems to be what the label (italians do it better) is focused on. I only found out about this because of the soundtrack from drive. I definitely need stuff that has a lot of electronic elements in it.

I just discovered vaporwave, and I enjoy feeling like I'm in a giant mall in 1987

any recommendations? the artist I first heard that I really liked is hallmark '87

thanks!

thanks!

edit: apparently this label is the "biggest" vaporwave one and all the releases are either free or a dollar

that 2 8 1 4 album is cool, thank you. Definitely mainly focused on more of an ambient vibe

I noticed a lot of the same spacing, is that some vaporwave thing?

like 2 8 1 4

same thing on the hallmark '87 album

I just found out about this 1980s one hit wonder because maceo plex did a remix

would this be considered new wave? trying to find a playlist with similar stuff that isn't already well known singles

I really like the title track on this album (#8), and also #3 and #4. very broken beat-ish (I'm sure he's influenced a lot by dubstep and garage) with some nice female vocals. anything similar I should look for?

thanks - I'm familiar with all of those to some degree, but not a ton, so I'll check it out again

can the lamb self titled album from 1997 be purchased anywhere? it's on boomkat (though they have their other stuff)

drat onyx was cool as hell

I really like jazzy and instrumental hip-hop stuff, anything I should look at besides tribe, j dilla, nujabes, dj shadow?

I really love this album, but I think it's extremely rare, there's only one copy of it in any format on discogs. But this is the closest to what I'm looking for.

not sure what you'd call this, kind of like indie crossed with some synthwave, whatever it is i really enjoy it, though I haven't been into her other stuff as much. anyone else make similar sounds?
