    I'd say DJ Food is my favorite of the Jon & Matt projects, but at the moment Bonobo floats my boat. His latest album is just incredible.

      I love the early Bonobo stuff, but Mixmaster Morris and the Irresistible Force (especially It's Tomorrow Already) have a special place in my listening collection. I still give props to DJ Food and Amon Tobin as well ...

      Oh, Fog's early releases were on NT, and I love Andrew's 1st 2 LPs (Fog and Ether Teeth)

          Yeah, I'm not too crazy about Fog's newer stuff. I saw their last album's show about a year ago and it wasn't too bad. I guess it's a good thing I missed their last show. Do check out their first 2 albums cause they are really good (self titled and ether teeth). Fog just recently moved to releasing on Lex records, which is warp's hip hop label.

            Amon Tobin for sure. All those other cats kick ass too, but there is something about Amon.... A friend of mine once described his music as the kind that movies are written too, not vice versa. Its so colorful, and round. He's a true composer.

    Coldcut, cause' they started it all - and Hexstatic cause he rocks the video game samples like no one else.
    And... they both play kick ass live video shows!

    Amon is definately my favourite ninja. There's something about the particular levels of bass he uses that makes it oh so special for me. At least they were when I had access to a pair of 15" 1000w cerwin vegas to pump up and listen to his music with. There was this one evening where we drank a 40 of vodka each (friend of mine and I) and a few beers and knocked pictures off peoples' walls 3 apartments down while listening to 'Picking up the pieces of Saturn' at about 10:45 at night. Wow, those were some crazy days.

      "we drank a 40 of vodka... and a few beers"
      ?
      shouldn't that be "we drank a 5th of vodka and a few 40's"

        No, it means we each had our own 40 of vodka, and 3 tallboys of faxe or holstein (highest alchohol content for least cash, yet still better than 40's of Olde E).. Neither of us got sick either. I don't really drink anymore however.

    Amon's new album is really insane! You really get a cinematic vibe from him, especially after his Chaos Theory stuff. I gotta say tho every time Foley Room drops into a beat, it seems to get scattered and sloppy. It's still diggable...But I miss those old jazz samples he was so good at choppin up.

    I like the new-ish Ninja called Yppah. Peep that. His style is like a clash of post-rock/My Bloody Valentine style with a dose of solid hip hop beats. Sounds as if he used to be in a rock band and converted to a hiphop DJ.

      oh! for sure Amon and Bonobo. Totally different styles, but they both rock it hard.
