I think chillout music and autumn go hand in hand. By the time fall rolls in you’re done with partying in the summertime and going out to parties at the beach, camping, vacationing so it’s time to unwind. Right?
So this track kicks in with the perfect track for Autumn Seasons (Hird Warmup Remix). It’s a mellow, jazzy R&B inspired track about seasons changing. Perfect for chilling at the house while a cold chill air is on the horizon. Next up is Once Upon A Time by Les Horizons. I love this track and how moody it is – perfect with the scratching and the midtempo moody beats. Lemongrass doing Journey To A Star is next. I love Lemongrass track Journey To A Star. The band is on electronic label Mole Listening Pearls. I can’t remember where they are based but I think somewhere in Germany. Anyway Journey To A Star is off of the Windows album and that albums is pretty amazing if you’ve not heard it or checked it out. Definitely do if you like laidback jazzy/spacy chillout electronica! Worth every penny.
I thought I’d throw in a remix in there and that’s where Sarah Vaughan’s Tea For Two remix by Chris Shaw comes in. The track is pulled in from Verve Remixed 4 album and it’s one of the better remixes off of that set. I love the Verve Remixed series and I hope they keep doing them as I can never get tired of remixes.
Going with the fall/autumn theme I thought I’d throw in Mia Doi Todd in there with a remix of Autumn by Nobody. Both Mia Doi Todd and Nobody are off of Plug Research Records in LA. A pretty eclectic label releasing music all over the place in styles. Check it out and see some of their bigger acts like John Tejada, Milosh and of course Mia Doi Todd.
I love the combination of Argentinean accordion music with a downtempo electronic beat. I especially love Gotan Project and several other acts as well as this series Buenos Aires – Paris so I decided to throw in this G-Spliff track AIres Del Sur (Tango Chill Outtake) – it’s pretty and moody and though provoking.
Next up is this pretty creepy remix of the Theme from Carrie (Gaudi Remix) from the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra off the Cinematic: Classic Film Music Remixed Album. It’s a dark and demented track but I thought it would be perfect here to darken things up a bit.
I had to throw in some Thievery Corporation in the mix and I choose the Middle Eastern inspired track (The Forgotten People). This track is quite beautiful and I can see a beautiful belly dancer doing the dance right now. It kind of reminds me of a scene from a film where a detective is at some dark seedy bar and a belly dancer is seducing the detective. Don’t you think so?
Things get a little faster after (The ForgotteN People) with I Love You by LTJ X-Perience. It’s a sexy repetitive beat with the sample of a male voice that repeats I Love YOu. It’s quite nice!
Next up some dub inspired beats by Tosca – John Lee Huber (Rodney Hunter Mix) off the Souvenirs album. A good one. This track keeps the beats moving faster still until My Darling Ralph Myerz track My Darling. This slows the mix down a bit. I love this track and it’s great to chill to. Finally Into The Light by Arkestra One is the track I end this mix with. It’s a perfect mellow instrumental floaty piece.
