Diplo's Top 5 Future Slow Jams 2011

When i was a kid i would rewind cassingles from Swv total and aaliyah or whatever stuff i could tape off the radio, these singer voices still sound fresh today .. in a place where new soul voices have been built in a laboratory
these producers are the kids following the footsteps of Burial and the early dubstep pioneers twisting soul with steel beams and mechanics and leaving it translatable for everyone if you can get get past the stuff that makes it alien.. some of this stuff is labeled as uk bass or Lo fi or whatever but for me its the most exciting sound out of 2011
