The OFFICIAL Trip Hop Thread

This is awesome! I only know a few very 'mainstream' trip-hop artists (like Portishead etc) but it's a genre I would really love to learn more about. Look forward to the intro comp and the rest of this thread!

I recommend Boards of Canada, they're pretty smooth. There is also DJ Shadow, but that's more turntablism. It definitely has that trip hop feel to it i think. but yea, there's a bunch of good stuff out there..

I like this. However my idea of trip-hop is different from what many consider to be trip-hop. So I'll let you guys roll with it. Maybe I can finally check out some of this trip-hop.

I'm kinda' the same way, my definition spills over into dub-step and other random places as well.

Personally I think dubstep's pretty separate...and already has a thread, right?

Others have mentioned downbeat and Ninja Tunes stuff...I consider some of that to be along the lines of what I consider trip-hop. Basically I'm thinking Prefuse 73 (who I really think was a big inspiration for the recently created "glitch-hop" genre), DJ Shadow, Odd Nosdam, Sixtoo, etc.

do you want to stick to proper 'trip hop' or are you cool with branching out into the greater 'downbeat' style that grew from it?

either way i'm looking forward to this compilation

Trip Hop is a hugely expansive genre and I'm definitely one for branching out so expect a few curveballs!

As for dubstep. It is definitely an offshoot from Trip hop and has it's roots in Bristol (apart an hour away from me) and the Wild Bunch collective.

I'd really like to get more into trip hop, i'm really only aware of massive attack, deltron 3030, portishead and dj shadow any recommendations?

Definitely looking forward to checking out this thread some more. I only know a little trip-hop, but what I've heard I love!
