Weyheyhey!!

For my money this guys alongside Ghost as the best UK Breakcore artist around... spastic riddimz ahoy, like Snares on an Oldskool trip the production here is simply incredible. The Harlott ep is released through the epic Love Love Records net label.

James Blackshaw

Londoner Folk instrumentalist, he's been compared to has been compared to Bert Jansch, Robbie Basho, John Fahey, Jack Rose, Leo Kottke and had released through Important Records & Tompkins Square as well as his newest album 'The Glass Bead Game' which is brilliant guitar folk medleys.

Trus'me

Prime Numbers is one of those 'to look out for' labels at the moment, their owner/head mover is UK DJ/Producer Trus'me & everything he's released so far is essential... often labeled an 'edit artist' due to his heavy sampling of Funk & Soul but at the same time not sounding one to me because of his deep style, the Marvin Gaye sample used in this track is particularly awesome, this is some of the most blissful/original House music in years.

Pascal & Pearce

There's a whole scene going on in South Africa at the moment with MENTAL wonky as fuck/all over the shop House breaks, if you like artists like Hijack [which you should] then SA duo Pascal & Pearce's dutty as fuck bass abuse will be right up your alley, their Mario themed track 'Disko Biskit' is already an underground anthem but i think this video better sums up why everyone should get on this.

Fabrice Planquette

Planes, record clicks & pops, train noises, voices, natural sounds... all sorts of things blended together into zone out atmospheric soundscapes by this French experimentalist, his work is all free and released through labels such as Enough Records & CONV, Highly recommended sound collage.

Nosaj Thing

Hardly going to be an introduction to many but this LA producers unique brand of floaty Wonk/IDM style melodies are awesome... both the Views/Octopus EP & his Drift album will undoubtedly be future staples of the current Wonk/Glitch scene thats been going on.

Geeneus

UK Garage & Grime producer originally, lately moving into more Funky House territory & getting associated with Funk House heavyweights Crazy Cousinz, the sound of this is pure 90's dancefloor House anthem, cant get enough of it or the Volumes: One release on Rinse Recordings.
