recently i have been listening to some of the artists that caught my attention in the late nineties and early 00's, introducing me to instrumental hip hop and down tempo ambient music. i stumbled across most of this stuff back in the early days of file sharing, when napster (RIP) ruled the roost, sitting for hours on end, downloading single tracks on my 56k modem... i can remember the discoveries that made it all worth while though, dj shadow, coldcut, hexstatic, herbaliser to name a few, and as a result introducing me to great labels like mo' wax, ninja tune, warp and tru thoughts, my independent label education so to speak ;D
i have selected a few of these and artists and thrown them together for your listening pleasure, enjoy.
