Sixtoo, Downtempo, Illbient, Trip Hop!

Are any of you familiar with the Illbient genre? It's a a sub-genre of downtempo and closely related to trip hop. For the past 6 months or so this genre has been my obsession after I discovered the work of Sixtoo (Speakerbruiser, Six Vicious, Vaughn Robert Squire .. what ever he is going by these days :D) a producer hailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I find Sixtoo to be brilliant, inspiring and outrageously talented. So far I only have two albums by him: "Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man" and "Chewing on Glass and other Miracle Cures", which I have to say is one of the best albums from start to finish that I have ever heard along with War Stories by Unkle. I hope that he releases more great albums in the near future.

It's been a while since I've updated (man, you guys, I have like 6 blogs now that I'm solely running it's effing crazy!) So here's what I've been listening to obsessively lately.

Sixtoo - Chewing on Glass and Other Miracle Cures
Villain Accelerate (as side project collaboration of Sixtoo and Stigg of the Dump) - Maid of Gold
Unkle - War Stories
Sofa Surfers - Constructions: Remixed and Dubbed
Blockhead - Downtown Science

Delicious.

Well, I wanted to give a quick update. Talk to you soon
