Coffeeshop music

Post by Cupz »

I'm getting a mixer so I can try some light dj'ing. I'm already practicing with only 1 output, just trying to get a hang of settings and whatnot. Right now I'm trying out music for coffeeshops (the dutch ones ifyaknowwhatImean).

What would Twoism call coffeeshop music?

I'm thinking light instrumental hip-hop/subtle electronica.

Bonobo, Thievery Corporation, Zero 7, Beach House, Emiliana Torrini

Some Jazz too, the gentle stuff from John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Lee Morgan etc..

Have fun!

Moon Safari is a safe bet.... I'm pretty sure every coffeehouse in the world puts it on 6 times a day, but still I'll never complain if it's on...

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing is another no brainer... trying to think of something not insanely obvious... umm...

Digable Planets on the jazzy hip-hop tip, although I just noticed you said instrumental..

hmmm. I'll be back
