If you are in your 20′s and grew up listening to Hip-Hop music, you experienced a great musical culture – some of the best music came out of the 90′s and early 2000s. You also saw it mutate into various unsavoury forms as it became heavily commercialised (see: gangsta rap, crunk).

If you’re also a musician you’ve become influenced by the music but ultimately abandonded what the genre became. Post Hip-Hop is a movement that emerged to keep Hip-Hop alive. It is an experimentation of  music, dance and art among young people just like what happened in late 70′s NYC.

Big up the Bristolian dubstep viewpoint. Guido, one third of the Purple Trinity is coming with the freshest sounds I have heard. The scope of his ideas is wide. For once not more of the same. Hear his debut Anidea on Punch Drunk records for more details. It is nuts really.

Sounds like there’s big video-game influence too. It’s like Streets of Rage 2010 re-release. There’s early 90′s RnB feel throughout a lot of his tunes, and I feel that tracks like ‘Shades of Blue‘ are picking up where ‘IDM’ left off. It reminds me of Autechre.

For a third time here is some more dubstep juiciness in mixtape form. I can’t help but feature Phaseone and Joker again, two amazing artists taking the genre in different directions. Also included is Akira Kiteshi (big!), Gemmy (so fresh!!), Hyetal and Shortstuff. Some very new tunes here as well as old. The last track being a taste of things to come. Peace..

He describes himself as a “veritable fountain of electronica, IDM, jungle, and drum and bass”. I’d definitely add some 2step, garage and dubstep to the equation. FaltyDL has just released a genre-defying album ‘Love Is A Liability‘ that takes 2step to a new level. Sometimes quite dark, the Jungle and IDM influences are very clear.

The stand-out tracks for me are Human Meadow, Paradise Lost and The Shape To Come (which is like something you would’ve heard from Planet Mu or Merck 10 years ago). I think it would be sick to hear a big wobbly dubstep remix of this last track.

FaltyDl – Human Meadow

This track is pretty wild, let’s hope that Hudson Mohawke of Warp’s album Butter lives up to expectations.

Hudson Mohawke – Rising 5

Tanya Morgan is a rap group y’know. Fan of Little Brother, Cool Kids or Kidz in the Hall? Then take a listen and buy their recent release Brooklynati, the best Hip-Hop I have heard so far this year. Every track is fire – no fillers!

Back in March I blogged two of Phaseone’s remixes one being of Burial’s Archangel.  Today we have his new full length album, which is a collection of great laid back beats. The album starts off with some crazy bleak, futuristic synth intro. But I’m already bumping at the bassline before the beat starts. Tim Gun is something Oh No or J-Dilla fans will enjoy, and sounds like big-beat hip-hop from the year 2051.  The album’s highlight in my opinion in the next track, Love Test (Only). Hot Mess / Metal Dub is a clash of IDM with instrumental hip-hop, and the final track Alladat is Phaseone demonstrating he can create excellent chopped-up hip-hop beats back in the present-day too. It’s good to see a variety of styles on a record, it keeps it interesting.

King Roc – Chapters. I must admit that I don’t know much at all about King Roc apart from some random mentions. Chapters is not really an album of individual songs but one huge long 80 minute ride of electronic soundscapes. It’s better than a lot of stuff out there right now.

The Field – Yesterday & Today. The Field’s From Here we go to Sublime was such a great release, my favourite on that record being the song A Paw in my Face. The thing with The Field is that he manages to make minimal techno songs that are each very unique, so I wasn’t worried that this new release would seem like a rip off of Sublime. Also for some reason this song reminds me of a Lemon Jelly track.
