don't know much about electronic sounding stuff but i used to listen to a lot of hip hop

for me personal...

- wu-tang clan
(and their whole cru, especially ghost face killah, odb, method man and their new dutch guy cilvaringz)
- dilated peoples
- jurrassic 5
- 2 live crew
- beasty boys
- Capone N Noreaga (CNN)
- Dizzee Rascal (this is maybe more electronical)
- DJ Shadow
- DJ premier
- Mix master mike (from the beasty boys)
- Nas has some good stuff
- Naughty by Nature
- Roots Manuva
- The Alkoholics

(heavy D, preacher earl, ... for some old school stuff)

Look for the CD 'the herbaliser - Herbal blend'

And I now some DJ's but don't know if you'll find them easy, I used to buy mixtapes of them:

Grazzhoppa
Transformers
Lamont
also search for "after hours"

this is the myspace of a friend of mine, maybe look tru his friends list, you might come up with some interesting stuff

the whole stones throw label - dopest sound in 'new school hiphop'

check out their 10 year compilation for an overview and different styles and names - great stuff on there - you wont be disappointed
