Onra,

This is a crazy good electronic album. It utilizes samples from old R&B and funk, with tons and tons of awesome synths put firmly on top. It is incredibly danceable, wonderfully happy, and just plain fun. I usually enjoy darker records, but this is fantastic.
BADBADNOTGOOD,

Okay. I've been name dropping these guys a lot... for good reason. They are so good I'm kind of in awe. There's a ton of hype around this jazz trio, so there's not much I can say. It's a jazz band with the philosophy of a punk band... but they want to play hip hop. There's shades of all kinds of things in here. Please, just listen to it.
