I believe a good start is on the history of the genre − read the topic; Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Smith & Might, DJ Shadow, Monk & Canatella, those are some necessary names for every trip-hopper. After, the number of possibilities is huge. For a notion about style, read the respective topic. For a fast idea about artists, there are audio streamings on this website − visit the artists section.

Because of many e-mails I've received concerning this topic, I had the idea (and the opportunity after) of creating a compilation CD of the site, trying to bring together some of the greatest names on the scene nowadays, exactly to fill a topic like this. The final result was totally sucessfull. And so, to complement the list of classic names you possibly already know, as Massive Attack, Portishead or Lamb, what Tripofagia has to recommend to you the most are the artists that did take part on that compilation. You will find just good music there. Don't miss it out.
