Erika de Casier – Lifetime

I heard about the trip hop revival a few weeks ago for the first time, otherwise I hadn’t paid attention to this being a trend in the past year. Well, this record is clearly nothing else than pure and original trip hop, so there’s that. I’ll need to keep an eye on how this evolves.

DJ Krush – Saisei

Triphop but with a surprising amount of glitch and IDM compared to a regular DJ Krush record. I recently saw him play live, which was a huge demo of his technical skills, and that shows on this album, too. It’s a diverse ride from smooth hiphop flows to strong industrial bangers.
