Glad to see you have this: Madlib's Beat Konducta volume 1-6

I don't know where I found it, but the instrumental version of The Further Adventures of Lord Quas is great.

Even if you can't find that, get it and the original Quasimoto album(The Unseen). They're some of my favorite from Madlib.

ABSOLUTELY GET

Prefuse 73 - Extinguished: Outtakes

It's like a 40+ minute constant stream of ever-changing beats and random, incredibly intricate shit this guy has put together. It's like the ultimate controlled randomness album, if that makes any sense. Better (and more instrumental) than One Word Extinguisher, imo, though they are both amazing.

Edit: so I just realized this post was basically a repeat of a post I made a long time ago in this thread. dang.

 

[desa]

Alright cool, thanks, I'm def gonna check all this out.
Anyone got any blogs/sites good for news on this stuff?

ive learned a lot of nujabes & other channels on last.fm, but this place isnt bad either: http://strictlybeats.blogspot.com/

 

[zon]

Don't know if there are instrumentals for it, but the album "Livin' Proof" by Group Home contains some sick beats by DJ Premier. He produced the whole album, it's a shame that some of his best work I've ever heard was made for two average rappers.

 

[GhostRidah]

definitely check out this new beat tape from Dela "The Robert Glasper Beat Tape"

 

[Barbacoatl]

+1 for Oxtrumentals.

 

[pakkit]

Anything by Nosaj Thing, although he isn't exactly hip hop.

 

[Barbacoatl]

Damu the Fudgemunk is pretty dope.

Colorful Storm

Y Society is the shit. Highly recommendable.

 

[el jacko]

Wax Tailor - Tales of the Forgotten Melodies

 

[Barbacoatl]

A favorite label of mine is Tokyo Dawn Records. They offer a free download of their LP 'Forget and Remember' here: http://www.tokyodawn.net/comfort-fit-forget-and-remember-lp/

El-P Collecting the Kid is almost all instrumental. El-P Fantastic Damage has an instrumental version called FanDam.

Not to go off topic, but anyone interested in modern Jazz should check out Robert Glasper anyway. He also does some hip hop obviously and was influenced a lot by Dilla.

But his jazz stuff is divine.

[IcebergSlim3000]

Hey guys I know this off topic but I downloaded a couple albums from the Pretty Lights website but I can't get the music to play via my dashboard. I keep getting an error message even though the song's show up in the dashboard. I can still play all my other music just fine it's only these albums that won't play.

It’s more down-tempo, but I highly recommend Emancipator.
