When you say new stuff, do you mean new to you or stuff which has been recently released?

If it is the former, you can do worse than Linton Kwesi Johnson.....a dub poet

I immediately thought of Basic Channel, some of this is quite old but holds up quite well today.

I'm pretty much out of the loop these days as far as dance music is concerned but I've enjoyed the MuGu podcasts.

Cheers all!

PJ - I meant new to me really. Doesn't have to be new release stuff.

Octopo - wow! Actually got about a third of your list but some others there to have a look at. Will check them out - may take a while.

Lonely - will have a look at them too - should keep me busy!

Thanks again all!

Octopo - after a mini marathon session of listening to many of those suggestions, I've just ordered the Burial album Untrue.

I should think I'll get through a fair few on the list over the coming months!

Cheers for the suggestions - much appreciated.

On your list we already have Trentemoller, Bent, Zero 7, all Massive Attack, Nitin Sawhney (superb!), all Portishead (apart from new album - not keen) and all Tricky's stuff - guess who lived in Bristol for 8 years...?!!

Aha a wise choice. Burial Untrue is fantastic. His self titled album is good but not as.

Ooo a fellow ex-Bristolian, how did you find the nightlife?ÿ

Superb "in the day" - mid to late 90s was very good, then we got older (well over 25!) and toned down the clubbing/gigging a bit.

Some of the old clubs like Lakota and Blue Moutain aren't what they were but still some good stuff is you avoid the chav pits like the plague.

And everyone seems to know someone from Massive Attack/Portishead/etc!

You from there? We scuttled "home" to Cornwall as soon as we realised we could live back here (both from Cornwall) and earn a bit of money. Did enjoy Bristol though - apart from the rampant car and bike crime.

I'm not from Bristol, I was at uni there a while back. Yep, the names bring back memories, galavanting down Park Street when the clubs closed at 5am.... not a care in the world aaah. Outside London it's probably the UK's best music scene.

I know what you mean about people claiming to know Massive Attack. It's because they feel so local and have a big presence with their bar and playing gigs occasionally.

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that has its roots in
London's early 2000s UK garage scene. Musically, dubstep is
distinguished by its dark mood, sparse rhythms, and emphasis on bass.
Dubstep started to spread beyond small local scenes in late 2005 and
early 2006, with many websites devoted to the genre appearing and thus
aiding the growth of the scene

Basic Channel is a minimal techno production team and record label,
composed of Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus, that originated in
Berlin, Germany in 1993. The duo released a number of vinyl-only tracks
under various aliases, each of which employed their signature brand of
dissonant dub techno. The nine original releases were each primarily
identified as Basic Channel productions by their catalogue numbers, as
the Basic Channel logo on the label became more distorted and
unreadable with each subsequent release. The Basic Channel
record label released only a single CD, a self-titled compilation of
edited versions of their extended vinyl tracks, which exemplified their
seminal brand of dub informed Detroit techno. All Basic Channel CDs
were released in recognisable aluminum packaging which notoriously
cracked the CDs when they were removed.

The duo set up a studio in Berlin on Paul-Lincke-Ufer, in a building
which was eventually to house Mark Ernestus' distributing company and
shop Hard Wax, and the label's mastering studio Dubplates &
Mastering, set up to ensure a desired dynamic quality for the vinyl.

The Basic Channel imprint ceased business in 1995 (apart from two releases almost a decade later that were originally issued on Carl Craig's Planet E label), but were followed by a string of similar labels. Among the most important were Chain Reaction,
which released non-Von Oswald/Ernestus productions and helped launch
the careers of dub-influenced minimal techno producers such as Monolake and Porter Ricks; Basic Replay, which specialises in reggae and dancehall re-issues; Main Street, for house-related releases; and Burial Mix and Rhythm & Sound,
which saw the duo's sound move away from the Detroit blueprint and
closer to vocal-lead dub and reggae. Their With The Artists album,
released as Rhythm & Sound and featuring celebrated reggae and dancehall vocalists such as Sugar Minott, featured in the top 50 records of the year for 2003 in The Wire magazine.

Basic Channel also run a comprehensive programme of re-issues for the American reggae label Wackies.

Nicked from the internet of course!

Octopo - a friend of ours spent the night with 3D but never let on what happened... Another mate MC'd for hip hop group Aspects who did quite well for a bit (bit like J5 in sound). Wife went to Uni there and we simply stayed there for 8 years!

Surf Matt I've currently got Boxcutter's Glyphic album feeding my earpieces. It truly sums up your original question.

It's not quite as established as the Burial Untrue album, but by jove does it have the lows you require.

Forget it - I've now got Untrue on - Stunning with a capital F.

As well as Burial though you should also cast your eye to Benga and Pinch. They are Tricky with the dub-step involved.

I'm a climate guy, I go wherever the mood suggests, but luckily I'm pretty moody.

Hopefully getting the CD this morning if Play.com deliver on time.

Dad's coming over tomorrow to custom build me a speaker shelf (other one already has one). He's been playing bass guitar (briefly quite famous) since he was 15 and also has the bass obsession - more stuff like Dreadzone for him though.

Just got the CD (at last) - initial impressions are very good! Will have a proper blast later on.

I'd recommend three bands: Client, Ladytron and Motel Connection. All three have a retro sound and are great. Motel Connection are an Italian band and despite all the vocals being in English they have not been released in the UK. Anyway check out these videos:

Client (Here and Now): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGFGQ3hUYsM

Ladytron (Detroy Everything You Touch): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtqGoHouoE0

Motel Connection (Two): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9F625hF_F4

Let me know what you think.
