I don't think this is what Headz (Mo'wax) means at all, though beside
made some good recmmendations (such as Vadim, Shadow, Octagon, etc.)

If you're looking for stuff off of Mo Wax that you don't already have,
maybe check As One (sort of DJ Shadow beats with a lot more jazzy
melodies). There's also Attica Blues. ASide from that, I'll refrain
making the Shadow and Krush recomendations because I assume you've heard
a ton about them already. Another idea might be Palm Skin Production's
album froma year or two back, "Remilixer". Anyone know if he's ever going
to put anything new out????
