Shobaleader One: d'Demonstrator
S_amazon 
( ;D --> This is by far the most accessible record Squarepusher (aka Tom Jenkinson) has ever made. This was not the original intent, but the result is clear. This record will change the way people view Squarepusher. Having been known as a leader and innovator in Drum 'n Bass and various forms of up tempo electronic music for 15 years, Jenkinson was always able to push the boundaries of the genre, but on ''Shobaleader One: d'Demonstrator'', he is pushing so far beyond his previous releases it is easy to hear why it might take a few listens to register that this is indeed a Squarepusher record. Vocals? R&B rhythms? Heavy synths? These and other un-Squarepusher like elements form what could even be described as 'baby makin' music'. Jenkinson's vast knowledge of rhythm and harmony help to make these songs much more than nu-soul R&B, they are truly an entity unto themselves.)

The Orb
www.myspace.com/orbisms
( ;D --> The Orb are an English electronic music group known for spawning the genre of ambient house. Founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and KLF member Jimmy Cauty, The Orb began as ambient and dub DJs in London. Their early performances were inspired by ambient and electronic artists of the 1970s and 1980s, most notably Brian Eno and Kraftwerk.)

Martin Grech
www.myspace.com/meatsuitmartingrech
( ;D --> Grech's music is a dark, disorientating landscape, as informed by surrealist artists H.R. Giger and Joel Peter Witkin as Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead.)

Baby Fox

www.discogs.com/artist/Baby+Fox
( ;D --> The dub-blues trio Baby Fox formed in the late '80s around vocalist Christine Leach plus producers Alex Gray and Dwight Clarke. Influenced by Burt Bacharach, Lee "Scratch" Perry and Gang Starr, among others.)
Dum Dum Baby
BF_amazon
( ;D --> Baby Fox's "Dum Dum Baby" is a showpiece of dark, dense, trippy beats and melodies, perfectly offset by the female lead singer's crooning and the occasionally growled/rapped male vocals providing counterpoint.)

Satanicpornocultshop
www.myspace.com/satanicpornocultshop
( ;D --> A multiplicity of sound layers pierced by one single beat. That would be a simple definition to describe the complexity but straightforwardness of the music from this band from Osaka. However, there is no special Japanese flavor here, and it would be best if we could please once and for all retire these tired clich?s. Satanicpornocultshop is global, linked with their fellow collagists, plagiarists and other plunderphonist counterparts (Kurt Schwitters, Negativland, John Oswald, etc.)
