OverClocked ReMix has drawn me out in many different musical directions that I would have probably never otherwise found. Before I discovered the site from the EGM article in 02, my musical taste was constricted to blink-182, the offspring, and video game midis. At first I did what pretty much everyone does, that being download everything from every game they would recognize. I then followed a pretty standard path of realizing how awesome mcvaffe is and grabbing everything by him. Then at one point I said the hell with it and downloaded everything to listen to it at a point later in time. Then something funny happened. A read the writeupto this, realized I really liked the concept of that genre of music in general, and bought myself a copy of dummy by Portishead. I hadn't bought a "real" music CD in several years before that. And while I hardly consider myself an expert in musical taste (or even an intermediate, for that matter), I now have the pleasure of owning Blue Lines by Massive Attack, Endtroducing by DJ Shadow, Kid A by Radiohead, and Maxinquaye by Tricky. I would have never touched any of this without reading that writeup, probably.
So I'm looking to match another group of remixes I greatly enjoy with music found outside this community.
The following songs are emblematic of what I'm looking for.

so jazz/hip hop/early 90s dance?
free (legal) music suggestions are especially appreciated, but I'll make a note of checking out anything suggested.
thanks.
