If you´re into this kind of music, this is the best community in internet: http://www.beyondjazz.net/ as to the genres, do not miss "broken beat" in you searches (I also started with St Germain and reached here pretty quickly). I might suggest to the list some of my favourites: 4hero, 2 banks of 4, Kyoto Jazz Massive , Jazzanova, Matthew Herbert, everything Dego/Kaidi Tatham/Marc Mac/2000black (I guess all are in myspace, so readily available to check before buy). Sonar Kollektiv, Tru Thoughts are labels that you may wish to check and magazines such as Straight no Chaser (now finished unfortunately), Shook and Wax Poetics. Gilles Peterson BBC radio shows (also beyondjazz and see for www.straightup.com.au) are excellent guide of what is happening around. as to the Koop, one should start from their best so far Waltz for Koop.
