Anyone recommend downtempo?

[rdej47]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some great downtempo recommendations. I'm looking for something along the lines of Mark Farina's mushroom jazz series.

Here's a few artists off the top of my head:

Zero 7, RJD2, Free the Robots, Dan the Automator, Kid Loco, Trouble Man, Prefuse 73, Part-Time Heroes, The Deadbeats, Thievery Corporation, Wax Tailor, Kat o1o, Tosca, Jazzanova, Fat Jon, Waldeck, DJ Cam, Si Se, Bibio,...
too many to recall. Check out my playlist in my blog on myspace for artists and tracks from my show Labkids Radio.

Also check out many hip-hop producers that venture out into the instrumental territory such as Omid, Babu, RJD2, Nicolay, et al...

I'd hardly call Tru-Thoughts downtempo either ...

[Karlos Santos]

Are you fucking kidding me. Tru Thoughts isnt just a funk label and the artists are some of the most diverse you will find on any label... Seriously dude.

Did you actually check any of the vids that other people posted.

Downtempo can be jazzy and funky. It doesnt just mean Ambient (Brian Eno).

<3 this thread


who's doing great things in downtempo recently tho, all the good artists that come to mind for me are from the 90s and early 00s .......
