That Mux Mool sounded pretty proper. I was feeling that synthline. I'll have to peep the album.

This is another really appealing thing about the beat scene. It's full of actual performers. A lot of these cats really have their shit together in the live arena. They also apply a lot of real time musicianship in the studio. It really gives the music a much more natural feeling.

My thoughts exactly! It's great to watch and experience such a vibrant "scene" (though I hate the word it's unavoidable here) that's just really come together in the last year. Everyone's touring a ton, and my flatmate's have even put the dubstep to rest for a moment and are really, dare I say, enthusiastic about this shit. (Teebs and Flylo especially)

Good to be alive. being in North America/ east coast helps too I guess

Wait.. Nobody mentioned Lorn?

Lorn is a deadset killer, but his stuff is very rigid and not so "wonky" I feel.

plus he's the only non-LA resident on Brainfeeder.

God damn, fuck "wonky". This thread is for modern beat music. Plus Lorn is not the only non-LA resident on Brainfeeder. Jeremiah Jae is in Chicago.

Actually what i like the most from the whole album is how it sounds. I think Clark not just mastered it.

Lorn - Nothing Else - great album! Bit short though.

Teebs' album arrived through the letterbox this morning, after first listen I quite like but needs more play.

Cosmogramma is a great album but too many short tracks - could have done with less tracks and each fleshed out a bit more.

Los Angeles is a better album imo.

I agree.

Also, while Fly Lo is still fresh in the mind, can anyone confirm whether this is genuine or not????

Just grabbing a few vids from my youtube, three sick beat based releases this year that can fit in this scene. I generally label it glitch-hop myself but whatever floats your boat.

If you dig the synth heavy stuff check out slugabed -

Jamie Vex'd's released an ep on planet mu under the name Kuedo this year and it is dope as hell -

Take has released a wicked record this year as well. -

I saw Slugabed 3hour dj set this summer. Was amazing when he droped this:

Also this track is huge.

Yeah me too. Kind of what I was getting at with my post on the first page. When I first got into it with Prefuse's first 2 albums, I was calling it trip-hop, because I didn't know what actual trip-hop was, and the stuff sounded like the beats were tripping over each other so I thought it fitting. But some time ago I realized glitch-hop was the right term. But inevitably, as the styles evolve and blend with other things, we're going to get new genre names.

I've been liking Take a lot lately too. Unfortunate name though.

Jneiru Jarel is great. New album Fauna on Kindred Spirits is really worth a check too

Definitely some good stuff posted already. I've been impressed with Knxwledge lately.

I checked out Knxwledge's album when it came out and after a few spins, wasn't impressed at all.
