I hope so! I made the question wide enough to hopefully be surprised by some of the answers.
I used to love all the Nervous Beats releases. Some of the stuff was just punishingly hard but still really live feeling and organic. http://www.beatport.com/release/nervous-house-beats-vol-1/854620

clearly IDJUT BOYS and RAY MANG are masters of this
would post a youtube of ray mang's immense track TOFFEE CRISP off his first album, "mangled", but can't find one

Yeah Idjut Boys for sure.

Slightly more "drums" than "percussion" but this is just sick:

mmmmm I had never heard that Villalobos track before!
Great track, matt2.. I guess there's a lot of stuff happening in the whole UK funky zone that has great percussion in it but to me it often feels very Protoolsed, very regimented (which is a big part of its appeal, obv - you get these precision-tooled counterrhythms that play off each other and create a whole new groove just by combining)

i've got a track by batucada por favor that's very much in the vein of the first track posted on this thread, but it's not online anywhere.

I was seduced by the live percussion sound as a result of going to Frank's Lounge at least once a month for Bang the Party, when that still happened.. There were almost always one or two guys with big congas who would play throughout the set, and their sound just blended in with everything to the point where you forgot they were separate from all the records.

my band played in nyc a couple times with this dj nickodemus, who always had a couple live percussionists. definitely the coolest part of the thing.

and this is probably obvious but i really like lcd soundsystem's sloppy percussion breaks, like on 'beat connection' etc

first thing that came to mind, on the all time classics with live sounding percussion tip:

Fango - Caballos (Despejado mix). From around 2:05 - not sure if you could describe this as 'organic', but has the desired affect...
