I would say that I find it odd that the world of electro and hip-hop are slowly coming together, but I don't. With Kanye and Will.I.Am sampling Daft Punk and the fact that Kraftwerk was the foundation for a lot of early hip-hops it's only a natural progression.
Colorado producer Pretty Lights, along with Dallas' LehtMoJoe, is one of the guys on that cutting edge of combining club music, hip-hop and electro together and he's pulling it off quite nicely. "Hot Like Sauce" grabs you with the sped up sample at the beginning and the slow syrupy beat and doesn't let go.
If you're a fan of DJ Shadow's album Entroducing..., I highly suggest you grab Pretty Light's album Filling Up The City Skies here for free.
