More beats. You might be getting sick of them by now but that is pretty much all I am listening to at the moment. Most of my mates were listening to the stuff when we were 16/17 and now they're all pretentious wankers and I'm the one trolling them at parties with my raps.

Anyway, more interesting stuff (I hope)

I've heard these guys being referred to as 'Autechre doing beats'. I don't really mind the description, given the experimentalism of their beats in general. Their work (Valley Of The Shadow, Corrupt Data and Dark Matter) works in both instrumental and with emcees. Although I can't attest to the greatness of their flow or rhythm, their rapping often just 'works'. Sometimes it s a bit to the detriment of the beats, but it all depends on what side of them fence you sit on on what you would prefer.

Definitely worth a check out. Might be better off with the instrumentals if youre picky, but it's great either way.
