Since my last trip around the web looking for music I like, I've stumbled upon a a lot more music that is more to my taste for club-beats-meeting-cultural-mixing (read "future folkloric").

I fell upon a mirror treasure trove in the blogariddims series (now over, direct podcast link here). While I haven't listened to everything on the series, a few standouts hit me for their tight mix of beats and global feel.  Here are my favorite DJs in the series....

• Ghetto Bass Quake: my standout favorite. DJ Vamanos' blog is now one of my most read. Lots of central American stuff- hot dance tracks alternating between tropical cumbias and deep club tunes.
• Maga Bo: his blog originally led me to the blogariddims site. Eclectic international selection, lots of dirty beats and broken electronic sounds.
• Wayne and Wax: I was immediately sucked into his blog. Highly intellectual, but he can also hold it down on the remix.  He was describing exactly the kind of music I have been looking for lately- what he calls "ghetto tech", maga bo calls "transnational bass", and for me is an example of future folkloric....
