ElectroSoul in the same vein as Jamie Liddell, Hot Chip, etc.

What about, like, r&b?

Smash TV - Queen of Men
Alexanar Kowalski (feat Raz o'Hara) - I Will Find You
Raz o'Hara probably has some solo material too

(I don't have a great deal of use for this stuff I gotta say)

naw, i'm just kidding around

tynan, i'm not really sure what you're getting at with your 'r&b twist' but the first things in my head were giorgio moroder and arthur russel. timbaland is the jump off tho. for sad whiteys maybe jeans team - musik van oben, justus kohncke, bunch of stuff on kitsune, lawerence, luomo, the field - though vs. action, trentemoller - beta boy ep, khonnor, klaus nomi(uh), yeh.

I don't hear much "soul" is Jeans Team - Musik von Oben, but it was my favorite album of last year and it's at least electro, so I'll second it.

maybe luomo can come close...but not really...

have you guys even hear the jamie lidell cd? the man is asking a honest question..... i don't frequent this board at all..but this is kinda irresponsible to give misleading info.

i listen to a lot of electronic music. but i cannot say i have heard anything from the "electronic music" world that is like jamie lidell's album before. your best bet is to just go with the real thing. the old school funky r n b....which i have to be honest..i know nothing about...

as far as kelly polar...check out metro area (the guys that run environ which kelly has stuff out on) i mean a simple search on italo disco will come up with a lot of stuff. also check out daniel wang who also have stuff out on environ, ghostly, playhouse. and if you don't already know about the international sensation that is the DFA...well that whole disco punk thing...they take that disco sound throw in some rock sense...and the rest is hipster history.

Is this some kind of a joke ?

also, i would not recommend trad. rnb to someone who likes jamie lidell and esp. kelly polar.

The other ones there, distinctly wtf indeed.

do you have any Phoenix stuff?

perfect reccomendation. but probably just the first record... the second kind of wanders into interpol/ beta band territory.

I think Jamie Lidell - not to knock his originality - is coming out of an earlier tradition of songs like Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" and Squarepusher's "Red Hot Car" - both of which did the IDM/skittery beats/electro/R&B fusion thing a few years ago - so if you haven't heard those songs yet, I'd say check em out.

this place houses the most sour never-made-it musicians/music critics ever

we have made it--made it harder for jerkoffs like tynan delong to post.

Well, yeah, one is hip-hop and the other is electro-R&B. They sound totally different to me too.

dmx krew?

seymour bits?

more fun that that other stuff at any rate

we've been watching you.

tynan isn't trying to replace 'authentic' black 'soul' (dumb concepts) with cynical white replacements. there isn't a black equivalent of the junior boys he SHOULD be listening to instead; as a band they have different influences and end up with entirely seperate results. y'all be jumping down his throats for something he ain't done, and (tellingly) for something this place habitually acts out.

coloma really does fit into this category though, i love their latest.

You might also like Chromeo and the last record from The National Trust.

polar>>hot chip>>>>>>lidell>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>junior boys

should i check coloma out?

glass candy - iko
chromatics - healer

these are kind of coming from a different place (less soul, more art-punk?) but kind of fit i guess.... i'd play them all in the same set anyway.

shit, that's the last time I ask an honest question.

worst genre ever

thank you for the tips. I just wanted know some similar minded groups.

not especially accurate

maybe i should have added IMHO

or maybe i should have said fuck john legend and fuck that obama song

start a new thread, this thread is for ELECTROSOUL

i like some john legend....is badu neo-soul? cuz if so, then neo-soul def. pwns whatever this thread is about

you are cruising, dude.

listened to that old jamie lidell single the other day for the first time in awhile, lol @ the idea that there was anything 'electro' about it

<i>you are cruising, dude.

i haven't picked up any gay dudes on this thread...yet

Octet - Feels Good to Give Up (feat. Taylor Savvy & Yasmine Mohammed)

http://www.deezer.com/track/46762

im pretty sure this dude has a video resume on youtube, but i could be years behind the lulz on that one

this thread made me think of "Simple People" by Milosh, kind of like Boards of Canada soul??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8G8f9PtGJs

Schneider TM's Zoomer and Erlend Oye's Unrest maybe? Perhaps more "indie" than "soul". Love the former to bits.

Are Sa-Ra, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Owusu & Hannibal, etc. a part of this genre? If so it's not so bad.

it seems like it's whatever you want it to be

ELECTROSOUL

If you're thinking of what I call twisted electro funk (like what Prince should've done had his musical taste lived past 1988), here are some recommendations that I find blend well with Jamie Lidell;s "You Got Me Up" style:

The later material of Khan / Captain Comatose might make you happy. Related to that is the KAOS album on !K7, which has some Khan / Snax appearances. Snax & IanEQ also have a nice single in this vein with MANDY remixes out there. Plus there's a couple of Zwicker singles on Compost Black Label.

For inventiveness, I second the Herbert recommendation, though I don't personally feel Scale is the best work... Check Bodily Functions and earlier albums plus some Dr. Rockit stuff.

Martian 2.0?

This is certainly good, but the title is somewhat misleading in that it lacks an Rn'B Twist

"Electro-MOR" is a better term for this stuff. If we're gonna talk about stuff like Phoenix, Zoot Woman, Daft Punk's poppier side, Junior Boys...

Hot Chip are rubbish, though.

'rnb twist' for some reason makes me think of flavored liquor drinks. >XP hated it

sorry sugary-flavored is what i meant

i still love that jamie lidell album so much

born slippy >>>>> jamie lidell

hey guys

i'm looking for music that sounds like hip hop smoothed out on the R&B tip with a pop feel appeal to it...any ideas?

^ban this fake flo rida

whatever happened to these guys:

i loved that album. pothead's delight.

never mind. wiki sez they are making a new album.

i've never been banned!

I really like half of the new Hot Chip album. The other half I really don't like.

saw jamie lidell dj for a few minutes last nite (kinda boring generic funk/soul stuff, some of it was alright) but lol he looks like a skinnier tynan delong

this is one of the most off the mark posts i've ever read on ILM. dude should have been recommended Amp Fiddler, Ayro/Jeremy Ellis, some Recloose, some vocal broken beat stuff like the Seiji remix of Amy Winehouse....but all the hating...jesus christ!

This thread is like Skynet version 1.0.
