The New Hotness is Op Swamp 81, of which I learned from T.A.N.. I’ve always appreciated T.A.N., and saw him a lot at amateur night at the Comedy Cellar (long long ago, where my step-bro also performed-frequently). You should, too.
In any event, Op Swamp claims both Max Roach 5 tet and Kraftwerk as influences, and features some mighty fine writing and beats. Get into it.
