I couldn't agree more. Check out the excellent Cosmic Rockers remix on the new Tosca CD. (It doesn't say Cosmic Rockers due to a printing error, but trust me, it's them).

another crew to check out who does innovative things with DJs & live band
is Organic Grooves (http://www.codek.com/organic.html).
They play hypnotic, mind bending grooves that consist of many layers of
sounds, the base being trip hop/acid jazz/cosmic grooves played by DJ
Sasha Crnobrnja, laced up with congas, bongos, dub rhythm guitar, moog,
melodica, and other instruments. Gives them a sound totally
unique. Spacey, tripped out, global riddims.
