Expand your horizon (electronic, blues, country, drum, bass)

I would appreciate a point in the direction of some low-fi delta blues, and maybe some more revolutionary hip hop in the vein of Immortal Technique. And maybe some decent early hardcore/punk acts.

I'm not even sure of the names of these genres so it's been hard for me to find anything on my own. If anyone can help I'd be really grateful.

Mike Laure perhaps.

From what I'm reading about him he doesn't sound like exactly what I'm looking for but he does still sound like someone I might like regardless.

Can't go wrong with Fabric mixes, in fact it was my first visit to Fabric that got me interested in D&B in the first place. I'll def check out Dieselboy, dark is all good and must be alright if it's deserving of a username!

I'm no expert, but anyways, I suppose this one is not exactly from "Mexico" but give it a try -

BABE(B)LOGUE: The Roots of Chicha - Psychedelic Cumbias from Peru (2007)

I'm not sure whether that's what you are after as I have no idea what's 'cumbia'. It just had the word and I happened to remember

.

Or maybe something like this?

(Ignore the accordion pic. I'm sure you'll get through it

. I find the accordion to be a bit cheesy, but that wasn't half bad. And I *think* it has some complex-tribal sort of drumming?)

Edit: And here's a track from the compilation without any vocals

YouTube - juaneco y su combo - me robaron mi runa mula

Some albums you might like;

Morcheeba - Big Calm
Thievery Corporation - The Mirror Conspiracy
UNKLE - Psyence Fiction
Faithless - Reverance
Tricky - Maxinquaye

^ Should all be easy enough to find. If you don't have them already of course.

Ever listen to Kraftwerk -- or Jean Michel Jarre? Try Tomita -- these are some artists pre-date today's form of "electronica"
