Tabla Beat Science - Tala Matrix (2000)

The tabla is a North Indian hand drum invented in the 13th century and is traditionally used to accompany sitar and vocals. Tabla Beat Science, an international all-star ensemble of five virtuoso tabla players and producer Bill Laswell breathe new life into this ancient instrument on their debut Tala Matrix. An amazing fusion between electronica and tradition, the album sounds surprisingly organic, as multiple layers of ruminant drumming unfold  in combination with Laswells narcotic synthie effects.

Venetian Snares - Rossz Scillag Allat Szuletett (2005)

Canadian electro wizard Aaron Funk aka Venetian Snares got the inspiration for his 2005 album during a trip to Hungary. Therefore most of the samples used on the record belong to classical Hungarian compositions. Funk drowns walls of paranoid string arrangements (he learned to play the violin for this) in shitstorms of  hurricane breakbeats and his trademark hardcore drumpatterns. Though almost inacessible at times, the result is an evil, dark as fuck electronic masterpiece.
