Looking for vocalists from different genres for collabs

I am looking for vocalists for various different styles, as guest appearances on forthcoming releases.

dark, agressive electro, dubstep, techno 135bpm - 150bpm
looking for prodigy-esque vocals, virus syndicate, busta rhymes, modeselektor or possibly simian mobile disco style stuff.. but probably most likely short, snappy words and lyrics with plenty of attitude.

hip hop, trip hop, chillout, moody 75bpm - 90bpm
looking for rap MC's, professional (band?) vocal singers, similar to Portishead, Massive Attack, Ninja Tune material. Looking for melodic vocals, peaceful, deep, chillout stuff or alternatively thought provoking rap vocals.

I'd like to hear some material from people who wish to experiment with some fresh tracks from established producers. Please send me some mp3's of your work, links, or PM me if you would like to hear the music in discussion.

I'm trawling myspace when I get a chance, but you know what it's like.. oversaturated.

So far the guest vocalists have been introduced through networks of friends and producers, but hopefully this thread will get some interest.

best way in my opinion is to go on the hunt through soundcloud/myspace

i found a nice swedish girl singer to work with on a remix that way

just drop em a polite line and im sure they would be happy for someone to reinterpret something of theirs, i understand you are looking for a full on collab, but in my experience the artist/singer wont give 100 percent unless its their own work

I make a lot of ambient tracks vocals would definately be cool on them. I'd drop in some drums on them aswell

nice tunes Liam.. this would suit the downtempo stuff..

'Biding your time' and 'Can't Bleed' are in triplets which might not work, but could maybe give that signature a go..

'Rewind' is brilliant man. Very Portishead there. These vocals are perfect.

No Woman No Dub on your gnome page is amazing man. :mrgreen:

I'd like to hear more. I'll PM you the latest album and you will get an idea of what I am producing that I would like guest vocals for. :)

cheers for the kind words mate...

do you want vocals from other tunes to remix, or totally original vocals?

either way would be cool with me.

heh more jadakiss wannabes round here, but suprisingly met some really talented vocalists and rappers via work and on the bus, or the bulletin board at work.
