The mysterious Clutchy Hopkins

The freshest thing in downtempo electronica. Highly original and with strong jazz and hip hop influences. Some of the tracks are outstanding and highly addictive! For example track 2 from the 2005 debute. When I first listened to that album I got the same feelings as when I discovered Bonobo's Animal Magic. In a genre that nowdays is not as original and groundbreaking as it used to be this is something that surely is worth of your attention!
