“14 tracks of Hip Hop a la mode”

Some people have already dubbed this kind of Hip Hop "Wonky" - a mostly instrumental variant that features out-of-tune synths, loose time signatures and sample edits from unexpected sources. The late, great Jay Dee perhaps did more than anyone to prepare the ground for this next-level beat science, followed by his disciple Madlib and a whole raft of current producers like Flying Lotus, Dabrye, Hudson Mohawke and Rustie. If all of these names mean nothing to you - this selection has been put together to introduce you to a world of squashed beats and innovative production that has already been quietly influencing the mainstream for a while. Think of it as Hip hop with Ice Cream on...

“Great selection!”

Loving the tunes and also the concept for the site. A "play all" button for each selection would make it even better!!

“time beep hangs up.”

the beep to stop people stream ripping the tracks keeps playing even when the track arn't playing - very annoying. maybe a mac/firefox 3 issue maybe not. other than that fantastic thumbs up.
