I’m definitely not an expert but here are my starters. Looking forward to discovering lots more.

And this album was a big fave a while back:

I know Alessandro Alessandroni is huge among the cognescenti but don’t really know his stuff, apart from this:

Lots of UK representation. Found this thanks to the carbooting @jolyon

Damn not heard that Fashion International track before, but recognised it from being brilliantly sampled on Skinnyman - Council Estate of Mind. Love it.

Wow, that’s amazing. The cover looks like it could have been designed by Andy Votel (in a previous life lol).
