The Chillout thread

[Norman Breaks]

All things downtempo, lounge, chill out, head nod, trip hop, acid jazz, down beat etc

I'll start off with this mix:

[316670]

Educate your ears and listen to some real chillout music

[316670]

Cleanse the shite out of your ears with this Khruangbin cover of Kool and the Gang “Summer Madness”

[316670]

Not a big fan of that shapeless,.formless meandering background noise tbh.

But you like boards of Canada? What would you call that shite?

MOD NOTE: this is a chillout thread, the clue is in the title, if you want to have a row for the sake of it, I'm sure there are other more appropriate threads

Back on thread with some classic Groove Armada:

I have this on a Future Jazz compilation and just love it.

This playlist captures that mid-90s new age Pure Moods / late night TV advert vibe.

I know it's The Proclaimers but this is by far their most popular song in Scotland -Sunshine on Leath. Leath is a subarb of Edinburgh.

Sunshine on Leath is to Hibs FC as Fields of Athenry is to Celtic. They even have the lyrics faintly printed on their jersey.

Here's the album version...


And here's the excellent renditions by Hibs supporters on winning the 2016 Scottish Cup Final...

Sunshine On Leith is my favourite Proclaimers track. But the album version drags ever so slightly. I prefer the shorter single mix which is what was mostly played on the radio at the time. It stalled at #41 on the UK charts.

Here’s the single mix

A very chill track that has since been sampled several times to make other chill tracks:

Solitary Man cover by very good artiste !

Nice voice. Reminds me of Lana del Ray.

Speaking of...

Here's a chilled tune she had out a while ago. It caused a bit of controversy as people said it was a rip off of Creep by Radiohead. Creep was said to be a rip off of The Air That I Breath by The Hollies and they had to credit them on the album after an out of court settlement.

Sombre end to a great album

[Norman Breaks]

I just uploaded a Dub mix. Pretty chill, I think you'll agree.

[Norman Breaks]

Bringing the chillness with a funk bassline.

[Norman Breaks]

I used to play this track out quite a bit back in the day

[Norman Breaks]

Was listening back over one of my mixes and this track stood out for me this time around.



This mix, incase you're interested.


Have a great weekend.
