DJ Shadow - Endtroducing similar artists/albums

[1tripz1]

I am a prolific music digger/researcher and have been fascinated by Endtroducing ever since it came out. However, over the years I've never quite found anything that matches the 'vibe' I get from the album. The three things that are important for me:

1) Sampled drums, little programming 2) A real ambient vibe 3) Not too fast

'Midnight in a perfect world' is exactly the sound I love. However whenever looking for similar artists they are usually either too fast, too processed/programmed, or even worse, have lyrics!

Am looking for that beautiful, organic sound. Am open to other genres and new things too, so please be open with your suggestions.

Thanks

Hmm this strikes me as borderline jazz/funk but you might like Tosca's albums and Bonobo's earlier work...maybe Four Tet and even Animal Collective if you're crazy that way.

[Scotronica]

RJD2 - Deadringer

Also plenty of DJ Krush stuff

[North by North]

Off the top of my head:

Also plenty of DJ Krush stuff

And Four Tet as mentioned.

Also, check out Dutchmassive's Yawn of the Gemini, Part 1 and 2 (at work, so can't post bandcamp link since it's blocked). It's... well, massive, and great. Very chill, HIGHLY recommended.

Always thought "put that on my momma" by Riton shared more than a bit of dna with midnight in a perfect world.

[TheFadeBeta]

I think Amon Tobin has a similar vibe.

TM Juke
Bonobo
Four Tet
Nujabes
Emancipator

The record that's given me the closest thing to an Endtroducing vibe was this release by Morti Viventear.

Wow, thanks for the Shadow comparison! I'm flattered! BTW, my new LP is coming out this summer on Anette Records. It will be a tribute to HP Lovecraft, but I tried to keep the same recipe if you enjoyed the last LP. MPC + Raw drums + ambient samples.

Anyway, here are some recommendations for an Endtroducing vibe:

Dj Scientist - For Better, For Worse
Maker - Shooting The Breeze
Controller 7 - Left Handed Straw
Dday One - Loop Extensions
Joe Beat - Diverse Recourse

Exceptionally good news! Loved your last LP

I love me some VA. 1tripz1 might enjoy earlier Sixtoo stuff (i.e Duration) too.

That sounds great. Read a lot of Lovecraft in my youth. Please let us know on here when it drops. Is it getting a limited vinyl pressing like before?

Absolutely. 250 copies with screenprint cover.

I feel bad for hi-jacking the thread, so here's a list that might be helpful to find albums with an Endtroducing vibe:

Incidentally his Glastonbury set is on live on BBC iPlayer right now.

Weirdly… Jada Paige - The Fantastic Adventures of SEXDICK OST

[Sherbet Head]

Damn we really necrobumpin' out here, but for posterity I think it's worth noting that DJ Shadow's Preemptive Strike is a compilation of Endtroducing-era b-sides and non-album singles, and it absolutely carries the same vibe as that record. Probably the closest you're gonna get.

I'd also throw in the two DJ Signify albums (Of Cities and Sleep No More) for more of that nocturnal instrumental hip-hop goodness.
