Procyon Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I love downtempo music, have lots of ambient and chill-out stuff. But, to my surprise, a whole new world I wasn't aware of opened to me: I have just met trip-hop. Of course, I know some big names (Nightmares on Wax, Portshead, Massive Attack...), but my knowledge stops there. I wonder if there's a trip-hop 'scene' (though I visualize trip-hop as something to be appreciate alone), and if there are acts out there. Anyone?

Rotwang Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Are you already familiar with DJ Shadow? His debut album Endtroducing... is an absolute must-have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@reyu Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Are you already familiar with DJ Shadow? His debut album Endtroducing... is an absolute must-have. +1000000 Another album is Earthling's Radar. I love that album. And Tricky of course, his earlyer stuff. Was there ever a trip-hop scene? I don't know man. I am used to listening to all kinds of stuff. I don't think I ever belonged to or felt part of a scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procyon Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Well, thanks for all suggestions. I have discovered that I feel totally connected with these wonderful songs. In another forum, someone mentioned Mazzy Star as a trip-hop artist. Not exactly a trip-hop act, but the feelings are great. It makes one want to drink wine, smoke cigarretes and feel depressive in a joyous way lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ion1zed Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I like "The Silk Demise" a lot. e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-iB9Ol1Pg0&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 this is like THE trip-hop anthem for me, everything that was made afterwards wasn't as good IMHO... I suppose you already know it but in case you missed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM_ZQZigmN0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
