Tell me what are your fav Downtempo/trip-hop artists and albums and why


Personally my favourites are: Massive attack, tricky, portishead, DJ shadow, Kruder & Dorfmeister, UNKLE

CloudDEAD's first release is an essential for me. Sixtoo is great. Also the newest Billy Woods record has some downtempo / trip hop vibes. I love all the above mentioned as well

thanks for the recommendations

Shadow is great -- its trance inducing and dope

the CD has a copy of Camel Bobsled Race also a gem as a bonus

One of my favorites is actually an instrumental copy of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx -- I guess that's a rap production but still

The K&D sessions is my go to compilation! Also Thievery Corporation, they have some killer albums such as The Cosmic Game

Breath From Another by Esthero

Definitely agree on the DJ Shadow and Thievery Corporation recs from a few posts ago, Endtroducing and The Mirror Conspiracy are some of my all-time favorite albums! It's a good thing my parents had such far-out taste in music otherwise I never would've been exposed to so much cool shit before I'd even left elementary school lmao

On that note, a couple more I definitely must recommend are "A Touch Of Cloth" by Fila Brazillia and "Don't Look At Me" by Oblique Occasions. The latter almost skews a bit more towards Vaporwave but both are quality listening!

Zero 7 - When it Falls
Zero 7 - Simple Things
Air - Talkie Walkie
Air - Moon Safari
K & D Sessions
Helios - Eingya
Café del Mar compilations (Volumen Siete is my favourite)
Most of Thievery Corporation albums
Rue Du Soleil - Dreaming Of
Afterlife has some very nice tracks as well
Bent - Programmed to Love
Télépopmusik - Genetic World
Lemon Jelly has some great albums
Tosca - Suzuki

Some of these might be bordering on lounge but meh, fuck it.

There's so much more I forgot as well. But basically the above albums have realy shaped my music taste when i was 13, and got me towards Boards of Canada as well

The Album Leaf have had some great albums as well, especially In A Safe Place, and Into The Blue Again
