The Avalanches

Awake

JOSH GROOVES
I know its a late pass but I just discovered these guys. If you haven't checked them out they make some great sampled music. They had 3,500 samples on their "Since I Left You" album.

Right up my alley!

You guys should check out The Books and Hifana too. The Books do a similar but incredible thing with loads of spoken word samples and their own string instruments, like some audio-visual film and Hifana make crazy electronic collage, using mainly electronics, building up something that sounds like loads of hyper-ballad sound bytes.
