Help me identify this instrumental latin-ish (?) downtempo/trip-hop song from this mp3 clip

Here's the clip

And on the same thought, any similar albums/artists I'd want to check out with the same mood/sounds?

The guitar in that track is the opening sample in "Ghostwriter" by RJD2. It sounds like something bossa nova but I don't know who it's by. Maybe searching on RJD2 samples will help you. Maybe the mp3 you posted is a remix of "Ghostwriter."

Not sure who this exact artist is, but I can certainly suggest more like it. Theivery Corporation is good and leans more towards that 'latin-ish' sound, but they're slightly more uptempo. Lemon Jelly, on the other hand, sounds more like the end of the clip with the cut up guitar sound. Sorry for the MySpace links, I don't know where else to link for their music. Now, back to listening to DnB...

Dunno who did this one, but you may also like Federico Aubele and maybe even Zero 7.

Indeed, that sure sounds like the opening sample in RJD2's 'Ghostwriter.' The original version appears on Deadringer, and there's a remix on The Horror. The one sample that the sample-spotters at the-breaks.net have identified is from a Wendy (tka Walter) Carlos song, 'Timesteps,' from the Clockwork Orange soundtrack. Amazon's got a sample of it here (they've probably got samples of the RJD2 tracks, too, for that matter).

Also, I think you might like the work of Scott Herren (aka Prefuse 73, Savath and Savales, Piano Overlord, etc.).

Everybody should be listening to Thievery Corporation!!!

But other than that try:

(Massive attack's) Daddy G
Boards Of Canada
Bonobo
Koop
Gotan Project
Hernán Cattáneo

In addition to the above, these are artists closer to RJD2's sound:

Danger Mouse (aka Pelican City -- now half of Gnarls Barkley)
Nightmares on Wax

Don't forget Kruder and Dorfmeister! And Deadbeats. And DJ Krush.
