Mr. Scruff is awesome he had a huge hit that ended up in ten different commercials, breakbeaty number that started with a clarinet loop - he's a wicked DJ as well... Speaking of wicked DJ's, check out the Mark Farina Mushroom Jazz series - must be up to or past #6 by now...fantastic mixes, most done live - downtempo jazzy, funky, all the goods....some fun trickery to keep it unique. For artists I love Lemonjelly, Blue States and Dhizan & Kamien - very unique artists that are somewhere near St. Germain...even Kruder & Dorfmeister hits the same stride every now and then. for something more atmospheric check out Ulrich Schnauss, all 3 albums are fanfriggintastic. But the one I will recommend over all others is the Avalanches album - try and get the Australian version not the import as they couldn't clear a whack of samples here that makes that album jaw-dropping... One hiphoppy track called Frontier Psychiatry has all the rhyming lyrics comprised of a myriad of samples...acted out in the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8BWBn26bX0 Hey Sasha is coming to TO the night after Ween...
