I am looking for downtempo stuff for DJing. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? Artist names are useful, but album or individual track titles would be even better. Then I can download them and buy them on vinyl if I like them. To give you an idea, the sort of stuff I am after is BOC, Amon Tobin, Herbaliser, etc. i.e. fairly slow, consistent beats, chilled out and laid-back. Not necessarily that IDM-ish! Less than 105BPM. Hip-hop suggestions also gratefully received. |

Thanks guys I'll be checking those recommendations out this evening. Does anyone have any more? Particularly instrumental stuff (i.e. no rapping or lyrics). There's loads of good stuff on Ninja Tune - anyone else have any favourites? |

Hip hop artist = Roots Manuva. Rodney Smith, the rapper, was on an Amon Tobin song ('Saboteur' I think). Well his albums are "BrandNewSecondHand" and "Run Come Save Me". Stand-out songs i think are: movements (amazing song) baptism strange behaviour wisdom falls ital visions stone the crows sinny sin sins highest grade dreamy days "BrandNewSecondHand" is more down-tempo i think. It's from the UK scene too, so everyone will love you! |

It sounds like we've had the same DJ gig. Anyways, Down-tempo stuff that I found went over well with a hipster bar crowd. The Mushroom Jazz Series from OM Records. (Don't let the name fool you. This is straight up instrumental hip-hop. Very nice stuff. Better than the also recommended OM Lounge series. Mushroom Jazz 2 is my favorite of the series) Nightmares on Wax - Carboot Soul (warps best chill album) You mentioned Ninja Tune, but not The Cinematic Orchestra. I'd go with their 'Ode to the Big Sea/Channel 1 Suite' split single. Kruder & Dorfmesiter K & D sessions The Irresistable Force - It's Tomorrow Already (My personal favorite down-tempo album, althoubh it's a challenge to smoothly mix with other stuff) Tricky-Maxinquaye (People still love it) Cibo Mato - (Both their albums have some solid tracks on them) good luck |

Theivery Corp DJ-Kicks kicks! Those new ManRay collections border on SwankTempo...very good. (Has Song For Jack by Lemon Jelly) Tosca is fine too, some of FoutTet is fairly downtempo w/o getting too "weird" The Bebel Gilberto Remix album (from Tampo Tempo) is very nice, yes? You looking chill-tempo or lounge-tempo? |
||||||||

Yeah...check "You could ruin my day" by Four Tet out...pretty cool track |
