So lately I've been listening to a lot of instrumental hip-hop (rjd2, pete rock, metal fingers, etc.) and i'm hoping to find some more of any genre. It can be hip-hop, jazz (I already know badbadnotgood) reggae, rock (stuff like frank zappa or pink floyd's instrumental work) or whatever. (Its fine if it has sampling in it). I'll give k+ to any suggestions so feel free to give me some help. thanks!

J Dilla. Honestly, all his stuff is just amazing. Donuts is a must have. And there is so much more, he did so much music.

Other than that, Mr Green is awesome, Wax Tailor too. Then the instrumentals from Gurus Jazzmatazz are really nice too, jazzy hiphop. There is so much to discover.

Some samples:

In your current genre, which I've recently had an addiction to (also Trip-Hop), look up artists Emancipator, Gramatik (hit or miss), Little People, Telepopmusik, and of course BLUE SKY BLACK DEATH.

My favorite songs:
Emancipator - Greenland, Nevergreen, and Old Devil
Gramatik - Just Jammin, The Culture, Tearin' It Up
Little People - Basique
Telepopmusik - Breathe
Blue Sky Black Death - EVERYTHING, my fave is A Private Death

Definitely check out Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai.


Also:



And some funk:



DIlla:



Any hip hop song you dig chances are there is an instrumental version somewhere.

Classic rock:



I mostly listen to funk/hip-hop instrumentals and a little bit of jazz so let me know if you want some more.

Damu:




You can also look up a lot of samples used in hip hop beats to open a whole new world of music/instrumentals. For example:

Main sample used in this song:



Is an instrumental by Bo Hansson:



Just with a quick search.
