J - Walk
Check out his songs: French Letter, and Soul Vibration.
They both sound like they were made in the 70s, but then the beat gets pretty modern with crisp taps and such.

That "Get a move on" song is too good for such a crappy video. They need a jazz player who starts break dancing, or a group of mafia men going through their daily routine.

[DanB]

Mr Scruff is good.

Have you tried any Filia Brazilia stuff? Or Future Sound Of London? Or Massive Attack?


All firm favourites of mine, especially Filia Brazilia :01:

[Wolfmight]

I've heard one song from Future Sound Of London (Calcium).

Hehe, I hate how chill-out is always used in that soft-core porn on HBO, Cinemax, etc. Some of my friends thought I was watching a porno when I played the music.

[rnichilo]

thanks for all the suggestions i am building quite a (chillout/ambient/downtempo/lounge/acid jazz/whatever u wanna call it!)... collection lol

[DanB]

If you use DC++ give me a shout some time

[StarBeamAlpha]

Filia Brazilia rocks!

[desihotchick]

I have listened to Thievery Corporation..how about Goldfrapp guys?

[Wolfmight]

my favorites include:

Portishead
Max Melvin
DJ shadow
Dzihan & Kamien
I only like Portishead's instrumental versions of her songs really.
She's very political in her lyrics though...I respect that.

I still haven't found a DJ as good as Shadow yet.
DJ Food is alright, DJ River so-so too.

Shadow is Urban Chill-out, without the rap songs. I'm not a big Rap fan, because the lyrics and beat always sounds too similar in most songs. I do appreciate any that use a unique form though, such as that Gorilla Inc song.

[Foobrother]

Yeah i hear a lot of chillout/ambient too.
I advise you these compil:
Cafe Del Mar
Ministry of Sound - Chillout Sessions
Hôtel Costes
Saint-Germain Des-Pres Cafe

[Wolfmight]

I like the first song on Chillout Sessions. The one that makes you think of bubbles floating around and stuff.

mine is 'Boards Of Canada'

:D

Good call on Boards of Canada. I just had to put 1969 on after reading that.

Saw Mr Scruff perform an eight hour set for New Year's too. Awesome stuff.

I'm also gonna reccomend Nightmares on Wax. Les Nuits is the sex.

[Vargas]

I found some dj shadow on winamp.com, they have audios and videos streams
