To me, synth chords over beats no drummer ever touched isn't progress. Speed it up and it's "progressive house" (ok, flippant but you catch my meaning). When this sub-genre appeared it was IDM and featured the likes of Ko-Wreck Technique, Beneath Autumn Sky, Funkstorung etc & I could get with that big time. Raw beats, vocal cuts on the hook & whatever else you wanted to throw in there (moog basslines, echoplexed mid ranges) - I'm not necessarily stuck anywhere other than in hip-hop & all this post-Dilla weak beat shit doesn't have that mostly. I dig Dabrye, I dig a lot of Ras G but when it moves too far from music I can trace back to hip-hop it just loses the appeal for me. This can't touch the Chocolate Industries etc stuff to me so I leave it alone. Obviously it isn't for me & that's cool - there's plenty of shit that is... & some of it was even released this century...

Got no complaints about Mr Abrahams from what I've heard so far - some nice stuff definitely. My favourite music right now is being made by friends - Buddy Peace, Carlo (who made a great LP last year that is currently unreleased) etc. Which probably sounds well wanky to say but likeminded heads make shit I wish I'd made myself

On a similar style to s.maharba there's Floan, Chris Devoes & to an extent Clams Casino, all of which are decent enough. Out of that stuff I probably prefer dfalt & inceptdate. Kelpe has excellent moments but mostly reminds me more of Plaid than hip-hop
