Looking for a chillout/instrumental hip-hop album mainly using Jazz samples

Shin-Ski. Perhaps the Shinsight Trio.

Shallow Nights Blurry Moon is pretty good.... Hard to find in the stores, though....

Rob, u might wanna try the Lounge and Chill-out channels on http://www.di.fm/

yeah quite hard to find.... only managed to find Shin-Ski of the Martiangang - Shattered Soul on a Pastel Sky. Which is annoying as after reading their decription on last.fm they seemed quite promising.

Will check out www.di.fm though I am not that big fan of net radio...

Maybe some Nomak and Pismo ... try a Youtube or Wiki search to see if u like them.

You might wanna try Shing02.... not heard much... but what I've heard has been pretty okay.... more hip hop than chillout, though.....

Quote from Rob1988

I also have an album suggestion of my own for everyone 🙂 Radio Moscow by Radio Moscow, album was produced by Dan Auerbach(The Black Keys).

Yeah... a mate told me about it recently... gonna check it out when I can.
Much Thanks, Rob.

Listening to some Nomak songs on youtube the best I heard so far are Geisha in Days and One Fist both featuring Pismo. Will try and find the album they are off now 😛

Also managed to find the artists mentioned by lurkerdler earlier 😀

Anyone know any good lo-fi folk-rock type bands. I'm thinking along the lines of elliott smith, neutral milk hotel, or iron and wine?

give Time of Reflect a listen, the girl on that track goes harder than any other emcee on that album.

wow, u actually liked that album? not saying its a bad album, its like Mos Def's Kingdom Come.

on another note when the hell is The Estatic gonna come out.

Back on topic.

albums to look out for:

Common - Invincible Summer

Talib Kweli - Prisoner of a conscious, Reflection Eternal 2

Joe Budden - Padded Room

honestly fall & winter '07 was like seasons of pure magic, lets hope '08 can top that.

I don't think it fits exactly into the typer you're looking for.... but you might wanna try Turin Brakes.... just came to mind coz I was listening to their stuff earlier today.

Quote from Rob1988

I am basically looking at you, gan17, for suggestions

You may wanna give DJ Cam, Model 500 (G-Funk remixes), and Dubtribe Sound System a try.... Maybe some Deadly Avenger as well.

Try DJ Icey too... but the Florida Breaks style isn't for everyone.... and it's a bit older.

This one's a bit iffy, but you can try searching for remixes of Roots Manuva tracks.

EDIT:
If you like Jazzy Trip-Hop.... check out Koop
I can't believe I forgot about them (smacks head)....

Cool thx for more recommendations 😀 I already listen to DJ Cam, so if the other artists are similar I will probably like them. When I get a chance to listen to them, I tell ya what I thought of them 🙂

Oh and thx lurkerdler. The Shinsight Trio - Shallow Night Blurry Moon was great 😎 really enjoyed once I actually found it 😛

She reminds me of Lady Sovereign which isn't good 😔 For some reason I really don't like Rap with a strong English accent.... It might be just a bias from having to listen to too many shitty grime artists. 😐

My turn....
Currently on a Brit-Indie trip.....
Listening to some of my Doves, South, Guillemots and Athlete albums... mostly stuff that's easy to get into.

Anyone know something similar?.... I want something more feel-good and uplifting, as opposed to something melancholic.

@ Rob1988
This may be a bit hard to find... but Jazzanova have some remixes for MJ Cole tracks... 6 in total... try searching.

If chilled DnB is you're thing... LTJ Bukem has a collection of Herbie Hancock remixes... 4 of em.... but these are even harder to find... even for DJ's.

Going by you're Last.fm list, I don't think anything's gonna beat Shinsight 3 or Nujabes for you.... good luck... and sorry if I wasn't able to help.

I have listened to Jazzanova in the past, will have to have a search for those remixes.

I found 2 of the LTJ Bukem remixes, on my computer lol. I dled his discography a while back when I was listening to a lot of DnB, it has 2 songs called essence of Herbie Hancock 1 & 2.

And sorry can't help you with the brit-indie, I rarely listen to any of that and the bit I do isn't anything I would describe as uplifting. 😛

Rob... u got me in the mood to look for new stuff.

My mates in Tokyo told me to check out Uyama Hiroto.... try this one

There's a few Brit Indie bands I know.

You've probably heard of them though.

The Subways and The Sugars. I know there are a few that I'm forgetting, but I just got off work and can't think of any.

Actually, no... I've heard The Sugars (I think)... but not the Subways (I know the name but not listened to their stuff)....

Will check them out.

Thanx a bunch, ahoaho.
