ElectroSoul in the same vein as Jamie Liddell, Hot Chip, etc.

The other ones there, distinctly wtf indeed.

do you have any Phoenix stuff?

perfect reccomendation. but probably just the first record... the second kind of wanders into interpol/ beta band territory.

I think Jamie Lidell - not to knock his originality - is coming out of an earlier tradition of songs like Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" and Squarepusher's "Red Hot Car" - both of which did the IDM/skittery beats/electro/R&B fusion thing a few years ago - so if you haven't heard those songs yet, I'd say check em out.

this place houses the most sour never-made-it musicians/music critics ever

we have made it--made it harder for jerkoffs like tynan delong to post.

Well, yeah, one is hip-hop and the other is electro-R&B. They sound totally different to me too.

dmx krew?

seymour bits?

more fun that that other stuff at any rate

we've been watching you.

tynan isn't trying to replace 'authentic' black 'soul' (dumb concepts) with cynical white replacements. there isn't a black equivalent of the junior boys he SHOULD be listening to instead; as a band they have different influences and end up with entirely seperate results. y'all be jumping down his throats for something he ain't done, and (tellingly) for something this place habitually acts out.

coloma really does fit into this category though, i love their latest.

You might also like Chromeo and the last record from The National Trust.

polar>>hot chip>>>>>>lidell>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>junior boys

should i check coloma out?

glass candy - iko
chromatics - healer

these are kind of coming from a different place (less soul, more art-punk?) but kind of fit i guess.... i'd play them all in the same set anyway.

shit, that's the last time I ask an honest question.

worst genre ever

thank you for the tips. I just wanted know some similar minded groups.

ELECTROSOUL

If you're thinking of what I call twisted electro funk (like what Prince should've done had his musical taste lived past 1988), here are some recommendations that I find blend well with Jamie Lidell;s "You Got Me Up" style:

The later material of Khan / Captain Comatose might make you happy. Related to that is the KAOS album on !K7, which has some Khan / Snax appearances. Snax & IanEQ also have a nice single in this vein with MANDY remixes out there. Plus there's a couple of Zwicker singles on Compost Black Label.

For inventiveness, I second the Herbert recommendation, though I don't personally feel Scale is the best work... Check Bodily Functions and earlier albums plus some Dr. Rockit stuff.

Martian 2.0?

This is certainly good, but the title is somewhat misleading in that it lacks an Rn'B Twist

"Electro-MOR" is a better term for this stuff. If we're gonna talk about stuff like Phoenix, Zoot Woman, Daft Punk's poppier side, Junior Boys...

Hot Chip are rubbish, though.

'rnb twist' for some reason makes me think of flavored liquor drinks. >XP hated it

sorry sugary-flavored is what i meant

i still love that jamie lidell album so much

born slippy >>>>> jamie lidell

hey guys

i'm looking for music that sounds like hip hop smoothed out on the R&B tip with a pop feel appeal to it...any ideas?

^ban this fake flo rida

whatever happened to these guys:

i loved that album. pothead's delight.

never mind. wiki sez they are making a new album.

i've never been banned!

I really like half of the new Hot Chip album. The other half I really don't like.

saw jamie lidell dj for a few minutes last nite (kinda boring generic funk/soul stuff, some of it was alright) but lol he looks like a skinnier tynan delong

this is one of the most off the mark posts i've ever read on ILM. dude should have been recommended Amp Fiddler, Ayro/Jeremy Ellis, some Recloose, some vocal broken beat stuff like the Seiji remix of Amy Winehouse....but all the hating...jesus christ!

2006

This thread is like Skynet version 1.0.

never forget

The first ever vinyl release of Cassie’s chilly electro-soul debut.
