I need some more downtempo/electronic shit.

Post by Indivisual »

Kind of in the same vein as Four Tet, Bonobo, Elliot Lipp, Daedelus.

You know, chill out instrumental shit.

Its good for doing homework and other mundane tasks in the iPod.

Suggestions would help and I'll give my opinion of it to help the others out. Plus I'll give the source his due props.
IMHO, there is no lyricist now or before that can match the lyrical dexterity of Qwel.

Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing by and A Strangely Isolated Place are nice... really relaxing.. i find his stuff tends to be a lot less depressing than a lof of the stuff in the genre..

here's another mix...mostly downtempo electronica, with a few trip hop tracks (and a beat of my own as a blatant self-promotion.) I tried to avoid the most obvious shit (shadow, rjd2 etc...) and put in as many different groups as possible.

hope you enjoy.
