 +====== Mix Hop ======
 +
 +What is mix hip, you ask? Mix hop is what I call a somewhat niche genre of music. The following musicians have produced at least one song that exemplifies mix hop:
 +
 +  * Ruckus Roboticus
 +  * The Avalanches
 +  * Wax Tailor
 +  * Cut Chemist
 +  * Lemon Jelly
 +  * CocoRosie
 +  * Tao of Groove
 +  * RJD2
 +
 +Though I can't think of the specific song, I think the Gorillaz have made a mix hop song or two.
 +
 +Taxonomically speaking, mix hop is a subset of sampledelia. It is a clearly electronica genre, with heavy influences from hip hop and usually features influences from pop culture of past decades. It usually has a hip hop or groovy beat and features spoken word samples, often from old films or records.
 +
 +The best example of a nearly-pure Mix Hop artist is Wax Tailor. An excellent example of a mix hop themed album is Rockus Roboticus'​s //Playing with Scratches//​.
