What I've listened to over my summer vacation.

tylerpistol turned me on to these guys a few weeks ago. Coming out of that early 80s school of funk & hip-hop that was more into generating synthetic sounds and using vocoders a la Kraftwerk instead of rapping over Aerosmith samples ( Read more... )

I'm super glad you enjoy them. I thought you would.

Very good call on that. Once again, thank you!

It's probably a testament to the band's influence, but when I first saw the still of the video, I immediately thought 'Daft Punk'. Thanks for sharing this - I liked it!

Definitely, I don't know if anyone specifically asked Daft Punk if they're familiar with these guys, but frankly I don't see why not.

P.S. Ok, so I'm not the only way that got a sense of deja vu listening to Hashim, that's good to know!

Ah man! I just realised that I know the Hashim track - I've heard it tons of times before, but didn't know what it was called. Until now. :D
