Music Preferences

R&B and Old School Rap is in my blood so when I choose music from other genres, I tend to look for tracks with good basslines and beats. I really enjoy moody, film noir style music. I own a lot of Greatest Hits albums from the 70's and 80's. I like rock, pop, chillout, trip-hop, acid jazz, jazz, electronica and dubstep. With a few exceptions, I've tried to list artists who are current and actively releasing music I still enjoy. There are MANY more artists I love who I have not listed as they have either ceased to exist or whos' music I no longer have an interest in following past a certain stage in their careers. So, in no particular order:

DJ Krush/Shadow/Spooky
Me'Shell NdegeOcello
