JAMIROQUAI – Talullah
Taken from the album “Dynamite”
London-bred future soul/funk outfit Jamiroquai are an enigma in the British music scene who are constantly churning out their distinctive classic sound and are always on top of their game. This is a pleasant jazzy number sprinkled with flute and saxophone melodies, coupled with an alluring vocal delivery.
PAROV STELAR feat. ANITA RIEGLER & PETER KREUZER – Tell Me
Taken from the album “Rough Cuts”
The freedom of old-skool jazz combined with the groove of modern electronica and hip hop describes the character of Parov Stelar.
LOVAGE – Everyone Has A Summer
Taken from the album “Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By”
An ambitious all-star project by Handsome Boy Modeling School / Gorillaz graduate Nathaniel Merriweather (aka Dan The Automator), layering down some ultra laid-back beats and easy listening styled hip hop.
ELCHO - Lazy Summer Days
Taken from the compilation “Café Del Mar Vol. 12”
A side-project between composer Steve Isles and Jamie Cullum.
STARGAZER – Eastend
Taken from promotional CDR
NIGHT TRAFFIC – Rain
Taken from promotional CDR
GOTAN PROJECT feat. JUAN CARLOS CACERES – Notas
Taken from the album “Lunatico”
Gotan Project took the world by storm when they debut in 2003, skillfully mixing the sounds of tango with adventurous downtempo elements and sprinkled with their trademark accordion-based French grooves.
YONDERBOI – Follow Me Home
Taken from the album “Splendid Isolation”
This Hungarian wonder kid is somewhat a breath of fresh air with his eclectic sound, blending Eastern-European folk with downtempo, rock and some trippy electronic beats; and yet he hardly fits into any typical electronica/lounge stereotype. Artistically ahead of his time.
NEON HEIGHTS – 16 Again
Taken from the album “A View From The Heights”
The outfit was started by Cal Gibson and Sime White, two Nottingham-based DJs who met on a sound engineering course. Together with the vocals of Zoe Johnson – who sound like a cross between Joni Mitchell and Tracey Thorn – they make tracks ranging from lush deep house to blessed-out Balearic song.
ROY DAVIS JR – If You Wanna
Taken from the album “Chicago Forever”
Raised in Chicago, Roy Davis Jr. was introduced to dance music by the Chicago House pioneers such as Lil Louis and Farley Jackmaster Funk. He made the pilgrimage to New York to work for one of the biggest house labels of all time (Strictly Rhythm) and there has since been producing a steady stream of soulful house music gems.
AQUA BASSINO – We Could Be Friends
Taken from the album “Rue De Paris”
Heralding from Glasgow, Scotland. Aqua Bassino is a stalwart for high quality smokey upbeat Jazz-flavoured electronica.
US3 – Cantaloop (Bossa Mix)
Taken from the album “Questions”
London natives Geoff Wilkinson and Mel Simpson had a simple idea: sample their favourite jazz albums to make new dance music. With an astute use of sampling Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island", a cool cut rapping over a funky groove, they made the 1994 global hit single "Cantaloop".
