Ingrid Schroeder

One of the shorter lived artists to come from the mid 90's UK Trip Hop scene, she managed to release a full length lp & two 12''s 'Bee Charmer' & 'Paint it Blue' both of which i like, but it's this remix by Peshay from the Paint it Blue single that stands out best, to me it sounds like Air sat down and decided to make DnB, totally chilled.

Metaform

American Instrumental Hip Hop/Trip Hop/Soulful & funky Breakbeat with a hint of experimentation artist who's up there with similar people like RJD2 or Foolk, check out his killer Standing On the Shoulders of Giants lp.

Red Snapper

Don't forget the classics, one of my favorite singles from Warp Records, Trip Hop/Downtempo... Experimental... raps with epic bass, early 90's UK wikkidness.

St.Vitus Dance

UNSIGNED [just captalizing incase any label people read this] Trip Hop/IDM/Experimental artist from the UK, considering the fact he's one of my closest friends i can know without guessing that a lot of his influences are along the lines of the things posted in this blog so far [ie: you will like this]. Somewhat like a blend of Four Tet & later Bonobo without quite being either, i wouldn't be surprised if i found out it was released through a label like Neo Ouija, seriously top stuff... also props to Si for the awesome video.

Akino Arai

Japanese female soloist track taken from the anime Macross Plus, the whole soundtrack is pretty good but this track stands out to me, a sort of Trip Hop/Jazzy ballad, smooth.

The Third Eye Foundation

Alias of Bristol based producer Matt Elliott, who's music spans Experimental Jungle/DnB to Trip Hop & further... a lot of it is creepy/melon collie, but then you have full on rave style Jungle layered over heartbreakingly beautiful piano solo's and moans/drones, i recommend everything he's ever done, the Ici d'ailleurs releases triloy may be an easier starter for some, but grabbing all of TEF's stuff is essential too.

Erik Sumo

The influence of multiple areas of 'World' music/Film Soundtracks/Trip Hop are all apparent in this Budapest producers work, discogs labels this guy Gypsy Jazz, Abstract, Downtempo, Broken Beat... whatever the case, it's really good.

Big Love to Luna again for this <3

Squeak E. Clean ft. Karen O

Karen O is hardly an obscure artist to any degree, but this track she did with Spike Jonze's brother for the Adidas commercial is a nugget in it's own right... catchy, melodic, sweet.

Cujo

Super laid back Trip-Hop from Amon Tobin's Cujo alias...
