Is there a hip-hop equivalent of IDM/experimental?

The DT is perfect for more experimental hip hop. Hopefully Elektron will be a part of a new era of experimental hip hop.

This band’s beats are not normally like this, but this track always struck me as if Boards of Canada made it and gave it to them to rap on.

Oh damn and this artist is pretty much nail on the head for me:

I’m glad someone else posted this too. It directly answers the original thread question in my opinion.

Agreed he makes House, Techno and Drum & Bass under other monikers too, Dilla & Waajeed were making beats in the week and going to Detroit Techno parties at the weekend and the two crossed over in their productions

Funnily I’d been buying his techno releases and his hop hop stuff for years before I found out they were the same person. Such variety in his productions

as you say very talented, I still think the Dabrye stuff is his best you could pick loads more tracks for this thread, especially the instrumental tracks

I don’t know if someone mention him, but Lapalux not bad on slow complex beats. His album Nostalchic it’s a good example.

My classic heroes Shadow, Tobin and Krush are already listed. There’s good new stuff being produced blending the edges of urban styles and tech/electro. I’m too ill right now to come up with useful suggestions but will sure do :slight_smile:
