This is just a compilation of artists I believe are notable.

Hip-Hop / Rap

Nujabes : This is probably my favorite hip hop artist of all time. He's made a soundtrack for Samurai Champloo, and he also has like 4 other albums. I highly recommend the following two. Be sure to enjoy them! : )

1st: Metaphorical Music
2nd: Hyde Out Productions First Collection
----------
DJ Shadow : One of the best trip hop artists out there, for sure. Check out this particular album, as it's really good (also the only I've heard). I haven't heard any others, but they may be just as good as well.

Endtroducing......
----------
Lightheaded : I actually downloaded Pure Thoughts (one of their albums that I found on last.fm), and I believe that they seem to be pretty good. Pretty good, not all that amazing though. I recommend these two particular songs:

Blink of an Eye
Lightheaded Anthem
----------
Cut Chemist : This guy makes some funky tracks for sure. Though I may not enjoy the funky style all the time, he's still a rather good artist in the end. Here's some songs. Listen.

Metrorail Thru Space
Addictive : Please note, this is on the Skate 2 soundtrack, but cannot be found in any albums or on last.fm as of right now.
----------
OutKast : One of the best mainstream hip-hop artists / duo's out there. I recommend you check out some of their stuff, as it's pretty awesome for the most part, but still here's a few tracks I particularly like:

Ms. Jackson
Happy Valentine's Day : Not on last.fm. Video may be available.
My Favorite Things : Also not on last.fm. Video might be though.
----------
Aesop Rock : I haven't really heard a lot of this guy's music, but he makes some really good stuff as far as what I've checked out goes. I'd recommend him.

Breakcore

Istari Lasterfahrer - I've only heard one song by this guy, but damn what a song it be. I'm still looking into him at the moment too.

ce qui reste de ce qui va
----------
distimia : I've listened to a bit of this guy's stuff, and all I can say is damn what a breakcore artist. Some of his stuff may seem a bit samey samey after a while but he always delivers, and delivers good too.
----------
belladonnakillz : I've actually only heard like, one song from this breakcore group, but it's pretty damned good song. I'd recommend it to anyone. I am still looking into the rest of their stuff at the moment, though.

Lay4pay
----------
µ-Ziq : This guy has made some nice stuff too. Favorite Album (only album I have from him) and favorite song (which is on the album, and also happens to be the name of the album) can be found below. Enjoy!

Lunatic Harness (Album)
Lunatic Harness (Song)
----------
Rivak : Dude has some good stuff. Haven't heard much, but good stuff. The following song by him is cool, but his other stuff isn't very much like it. Nonetheless, recommended. ^_^

Destroy Fish People
----------
Nero's Day At Disneyland : Leafff recommends him. Shouldn't that be enough?

grievances and dead malls

Rock / Hip-Hop

Flobots : Man, I really love this group. Ever heard of a song named "Handlebars"? Of course you have. Because it's amazing. Now download the album thanks. :D

Fight With Tools
----------
Linkin Park : Cool band, man. They have some cool songs and stuff. Check em out when you can.

Alternative Rock

Mew : I haven't heard enough from this particular artist, but I love a certain song that this group has made. It can be found below, enjoy.

Hawaii
----------
Kenna : This guy is a BEAST at alternative rock type stuff. I actually found one of his albums by searching "MY FACE" on here. Man have I ever been glad I had done so.

Make Sure They See My Face

Punk Rock

Rise Against : I need to start listening to these guys some more but I can tell you that I like a particular song by them that can be found below. Enjoy!

Like the Angel
----------
Drum'n'Bass

Squarepusher : Haven't heard enough of his stuff to even recommend anything, but you know, cool dude.

IDM

The Flashbulb : I like a lot of this guy's stuff. He makes a lot IDM and breakcore stuff too, just like Venetian Snares. Goes by the name of Benn Jordan and some others as well. Check him out, you won't be disappointed.
----------
Venetian Snares : Again, like some of the aforesaid artists, I haven't heard enough of his stuff, but you know, check the damn guy out. How bad could he be? :p

Chiptune

she : Definitely one of my favorite artists of all time (and I have a lot of artists :D). This guy makes stuff from Chiptune to Electronica to 8bit type stuff. He makes a lot of cool (although short) tracks, you can check out his website at shemusic.org. Not gonna recommend anything on here, because ALL of this guy's stuff is great. Now go, go download some of his albums!

Electronic

hEADaCHE : Haven't heard enough of his stuff (I know, I know, how many times have you heard that already). Dude had some cool songs on War I: Destructors of the Mind though.

Makina

kors k : Recommended to me by the awesome sidke. Never been happier since. Check him out, bros.

Breakcore / Metal

Eraplee Noisewall Orchestra : Hey, I'm not all that much into metal, but this guy has made some cool breakcore type stuff you should take a look at. Be sure to take a look at the following album! (along with some of his metal stuff if you'd like to).

The Statement
----------
Maruosa - To be honest, I really really dislike this guy. :/ I hate breakcore and screaming into microphones and stuff like that, but you know, if you're into that stuff check him out. I only have him on here for one reason: this song is amazing, and just because of it he's on here. Otherwise...gneuuh.

We Are Another Table
