This has never struck as big a chord with me as much as most it seems. It's not bad or anything but I've never fallen for it.

Much better plunderphonics records exist, imo. Sort of simplistic and that simplicity isn't in the service of a particularly engrossing record.

I'd love some recs please since it's a genre i've really not explored enough.

I personally love Since I Left You. I remember when it came out. I wasn't totally into it right away, but my college roommate was obsessed, so I gave it more time and really came around on it.

John Oswald is the originator of the genre or at least coined the term, and there are several releases of his that are good. 69 Plunderphonics 96 is a career retrospective but his best known work is


Plunderphonic by John Oswald

I'm also partial to Negativland's works like


U2 by Negativland

Those are the two pillars of OG Plunderphonics as far as I know - trademark protesting culture jammers as much as musical artists. Then there's the DJ Shadow type thing that Avalanches sort of do, and that's the part I know the least about (actually, literally nothing outside of those two albums). Then there's new stuff that is labeled such, but it's hard for me to parse contemporary electronic genres and don't really know if Plunderphonics is really what's going on, but good stuff includes...

The current crop of underground electronic vanguard have done - Ferraro on Sushi and his work as Bebetunes, OPN on Replica and R Plus Seven and his work as Chuck Person. There's also a few Chopped and Screwed people working today who also do Plunderphonics work, but I'm not sure where the boundaries of each genre are and where their boundaries with other kinds of Mashup are. DJ Yo-Yo Dieting would be an example of that. I also would argue Person Pitch is Plunderphonics in a way, though you've obviously already heard that.

EDIT: OH AND RYM CALLS THIS PLUNDERPHONICS AND EVERY HUMAN SHOULD LISTEN TO IT AT LEAST ONCE
