Tim's reccomended listning guide (because he's done *two* history of electronic music shows on RDU this year): Hip Hop: try Jurassic 5 or A Tribe Called Quest. Michael Franti for very funky political stuff (he's very good, but probably too funky to be hip hop). For local stuff, try King Kapisi, Che Fu, or P Money. House: hmm, don't know much about house. Mr Fingers (aka Larry Heads) does really old house. Remix magazine's best of house (I saw it at echo records for $14 today) is really good deep house (I should really get a copy). Orb's "Adventures beyond the ultraworld" is ambient house. local? try Cuffy, Leon D, Phully. Trip Hop (It's my favourite genre): DJ Shadow is a listening requirement. Depth Charge are one of my favs at the mo. Wagon Christ is outstanding. local stuff: Minuit (they have 2 EPs out). If you get a chance to see Auckland DJ Chris Cox play, then go. Trance: Paul Okenfold, Sasha, John Digweed. Drum and Bass/Jungle: Plug, Aphex Twin, Amon Tobin. local: conficius. Ambient: Brian Eno, Aphex Twin, Orb Techno: Carl Craig, Luke Slator. Ambient Techno: Plasticman tim http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~tnw13 Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBPdMCNwccL5A6x/wfEQIjVACdEfDk8r0rkt1b1QiwjZvKc0e6r1cAoMtJ eEGiWk6sFdbWjb75pVypoZYH =atoG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
