Since there’s so much great music coming out of the UK I thought I’d highlight some of my favorites, which get so little air play in the States. When I went through and ripped my UK CDs I ended up with about 80 songs, so instead of cutting most of those out I decided to break them into genres. The songs on this radio.blog could be lumped into the electronica genre, although they sound very different. There’s representation from Drum & Bass, Garage, Jungle, 2 Step as well as music that would probably be called straight up R&B in the US (like the Craig David & Artful Dodger “2 Step” tracks).
Some other recent radio.blogs to check out:
- Honey’s old school hip-hop rb. She’s dropping bombs with tracks from Stetsasonic, Brand Nubian, Chubb Rock, AZ’s ‘Sugar Hill’, etc.
- Todd takes us back on a trip to 1980’s L.A. (and Seattle — My posse’s on Broadway
- Clubbed In The Nuts With A Bag Of Ice – Don’t ask, just go listen.
!)
I’m liking what I’ve heard so far. I’d never heard of 2step, thanks for the reference. I consider myself a music lover but I promise you I couldn’t tell you the difference between garage/jungle/etc, lol. Thanks for the rb mention 😉
Glad you’re liking it. I can’t tell the difference between all those sub-genres either.
Mike-
I cant dig any longer, your info is hard to find. Trying to get an advance listen of Deep Thinkers “Necks Move” out to you. Email me at Willis@daturarecords.com with the info. By the looks of what I see on your blog, your gonna feel this record.
