| 1 | Prefuse 73
Perverted Undertone
The elemental, instrumental essence of chill out |
| 2 | Radiohead
I Might Be Wrong
Not trip-hop? Give it a second chance and feel the groove flowing into your veins. Funky bass, dreamy lyrics... |
| 3 | Sofa Surfers
Superluminal
The catchy tone, ripple bass line, screaming violin and those Mani Obeya lyrics are just magical. |
| 4 | Bonobo
All In Forms
One of the "heaviest" multi-layered beats from Bonobo. |
| 5 | Hidden Orchestra
Spoken
An instrumental crescendo made of a dreamy saxo, slightly decorated keyboard notes, and some jazzy drums... |
| 6 | Gorillaz
Spitting Out The Demons
Hallucinating intro, dropping into a heavy distorted bass line capable of blowing your brains out. Reggae style on the guitar, damn you, Damon Albarn, you sexy beast! |
| 7 | Submotion Orchestra
Time Will Wait
Has an angel ever whispered at you ear? These synths are so heavy that it could be considered dubstep. |
| 8 | Portishead
Mysterons
Do I really need to write a description for a classic album intro from the ultimate trip-hop act ever? |
| 9 | Archive
Feel It
...and now it flows frenetically with the Maxinquaye influenced guitar, the garage, the post punk, just Feel It! |
| 10 | Son Lux
Raise
An anguished voice between some chord instruments breaks into what? Why not? The synthetic drums and the industrial harsh bridge fits in a rare and organic manner... |
| 11 | Sevdaliza
Hubris
The sound of silence, the pause between is the main element in this 2017 Portishead, neo-soul influenced piece. Flawless production. |
| 12 | Depeche Mode
Personal Jesus
The electro-country exists! |
| 13 | Blockhead
Smoke Signals
If you look for "multi-layered groove genius" on the dictionary, you'll find a description of Tony Simon music. |
| 14 | TV on the Radio
DLZ
To be sincere, I found this bongo driven song on a Breaking Bad chapter. Nice music there... |
| 15 | Black Atlass
Paris
Odd instrumental reverberation into a full atmospheric vocals and drums. Dreamy stuff |
| 16 | Lovage
Anger Management
Of course Mr. Patton, you can also record a depressing trip-hop album, why not? |
| 17 | Massive Attack
Safe From Harm - Just A Dub
What if we remove the perfect vocals from that 90's electronica hymn, and replace it with some more dub dub dub |
| 18 | NAO
Fool To Love
The cloying voice you ever gonna hear and still enjoy. Seriously. |
| 19 | Slackwax
Night Out
An electro organic blues with a voice that resembles Leonard Cohen and Warhaus. Nice production |
| 20 | Clark
Winter Linn
The path is dark and dense, boy... |
