Recommend Some Tunes
Haven't found anything new (to me) that's really tickled my fancy lately. Always looking for sounds I haven't heard before.
Seems like I've been on a funk/hip-hop/R&B/electronica/downbeat & fusions of the preceding kick for awhile now. Don't know if you can draw any parallels here, but the following artists have featured prominently in my play lists the last year or so:
Anoushka Shankar
Balkan Beat Box
Beats Antique
Bonobo
Breakestra
Cinematic Orchestra
DJ Krush
Galactic
Gangstagrass
Gramatik
Greyboy
Hank III
Infected Mushroom
Laszlo
LCD Soundsystem
Lotus
RJD2
Rodrigo & Gabriella
Shpongle
Cinematic Orchestra
Old Crow Medicine Show
Raconteurs
Thievery Corporation
Doesn't have to be new music, just new to me. Whatcha got?

If you page down through the "What song do you wanna hear?" thread I guarantee you'll find a bunch of music that you haven't heard before.

Thanks for the recs! I stumbled across that Dirtwire link in the "What Song You Wanna Hear" thread and really dug it. Spent a couple hours listening to their stuff on Youtube and downloaded a good portion of their work. The fact that one of the duo is a founding member of Beats Antique is really obvious - very similar styles but different enough to still feel fresh and interesting.
I'll check out the Hiatus Kaiyote next.
I also really dig the rock oriented parts of my play list, especially Raconteurs but it seems like innovative rock that doesn't sound like all the other rock made since the '60s is hard to come by these days. Or is it...?
