I run a list called Kozmigroov that you should probably check out. It's
been pretty comatose of late, but you can check out the archives (which are
heavily mulched currently-- software difficulties, & yeah, I've just been
plain disfunctional this year) at:

On the "Jazz Induced Electronica" tip, I've been finding a ton of cool
stuff that more or less meets that description-- there's
Ian Simmonds
Marasma
Jimpster
Four Tet
Akasha
Frédéric Galliano
And, from the hip-hop angle, the new Company Flow instrumental album is
pretty excellent, though not as awe-inspiring as their "Patriotism" single
from _Soundbombing II_.
Eagerly awaiting the 2nd Mike Ladd album....
