I still haven't heard all of this, but I like some of it a lot. It's from the South African "African Dope" label (which I admit I knew nothing about).

african dope's alright, but mostly a lil too much on the stonerfunksouljamtronica tip for my liking. moodphase 5 = trip hop, essentially. felix laband is (occasionally pretty good) IDM. kalahari surfers make downtempo electronica. can't recall if i've heard ghettomuffin, but this stuff is all very of a type.

I don't generally like trip-hop or downtempo, but this seems better somehow.

since i haven't actually heard these tracks, i should maybe be a little more generous (in the name of patriotism, if nothing else). what're the standouts?

I need more time to digest it since I just downloaded it a couple days ago, but I especially like:

04 - Ghettomuffin - Paralyser
06 - Juan Thyme - EJ 'N' H

(I've gotten a bit sidetracked by remembering that I have three Willie Colon albums sitting on my hard drive that I haven't gotten to yet.)

Will report back.

(I don't listen to much stuff like this, so there may be a novelty aspect, although I've definitely heard some trip-hop and downtempo and I've mostly disliked it.)
