Blockhead – Downtempo at its best

I really like downtempo music and i keep discovering tunes i really enjoy. I present you Blockhead who released the Album “The Music Scene” for Ninja Tunes in 2009.  New York based hip hop producer Tony Simon aka Blockhead released emotional, hip hop based intrumental tunes with complex melodies for many years. Here are 3 favourites, 2 from 2005 and one from the recent Album. Have a good weekend!

Fresh downtempo mixes from Gelka

Sergio and Alex aka Gelka produced one of the best chill albums from 2008 and their track “Soon” is among my all time favourites. Such a positive groove.  The gelka mixtapes are a nice mixture of old-school chill, jazz, nu-jazz, downtempo and hip hop. Perfect for home listening, chilling after a party or just for your way to work. Go for their soundcloud for the tracklisting. Full respect Gelka!!

Downbeat Internet Radio – Soma FM – digitalis

Soma FM serves you with music from a blend of deep-house and downtempo chill songs to spaced-out ambient, IDM and mid-tempo electronica.
For all the lovers of gentle electronica sounds. You can listen to downtempo, ambient  and soft rock rhythms under digitalis, my favorite so far. So lay back and enjoy the sensous and melllow frequency of digitalis.

DJ Moarice – Swing King Mix @Wilde Renate in Berlin

A nice downtempo and swing mix by our friend DJ Moarice from Berlin. After some years djing he´s recently been playing this kind of sound regularly.
So here´s a recent recording from a 2:38 Hr Set played at the Club “Wilde Renate”. This mix has some really funky downtempo tracks in the beginning and goes more swing and old-school towards the end. I really like to listen to some of this stuff for a change. Well done!
