His Heavy Jazz influences have pushed him into the world of Down-tempo and Nu-Jazz music. His 2009 record “Significant Others” is by far the biggest fan favourite. His extensive use of keys and guitar from time to time in his music is what makes him distinct from other EDM artists out there. He could use a lot more recognition; which his fan base is pushing for pretty hard. While I did leave out “JK Soul” and “Nu”, which I believe should be Honourable mentions on this list; I think these 6 bands are the perfect blend for the next time you play music at a party. The rest, you will discover as Trip-hop will lead you to them.
