Things you can do

Dan “the Automator” Nakamura is the brain behind many of the best hip-hop acts of the last 20 years, such as: Lovage, Handsome Modeling School, Gorillaz, Peeping Tom and he mingles along the likes of Mike Patton, Prince Paul, Dj Shadow, etc.

Kid Koala is …. Kid Koala -- the turntable master, signed to Ninja Tunes and constant inovator, mixing turntables, games and graphics into a big ball of fun.

Del tha Funkee Homosapien is that voice that you will never forget but never quite put your finger where you heard it for the first time. Well I’ll spare you the effort of googling it: he is Gorrilaz’s Del from Clint Eastwood & Rock The House. But he’s also a regular on many underground hip-hop acts, such as Jurassic 5, Handsome Boy Modeling School, etc.

Important info: The song Time Keeps On Slipping, featuring Damon Albarn, is said to have been the influence on the creation of the Gorillaz.

In this formula, Deltron 3030 is born, telling the story of Deltron Zero’s fight against an oppressive government and powerful corporations, while also battling to be the Galactic Rhyme Federation Champion.

Handsome Boy Modeling School is a hip hop collaboration between Dan the Automator (!!!!!!!) and Prince Paul

Presenting Roisin Murphy!!!!!!

According to wikipedia:
Handsome Boy Modeling School is a conceptual hip hop duo that parodied and acted as a commentary on vain, consumerism, materialistic, and self-absorbed members of upper class society, such as supermodels and people from old money.

According to me:
If I would ever produce a sex music compilation, I would most likely overcrowed it with Dan The AUtomator’s work. Just listen to the two songs I embedded here and to the “Music to make love to your old lady by” album, created by Lovage another brain child of Dan The automator.
