Awesome Downtime 24: Melodic Bloomin'

Another volume to ease your discomforts of the day. P.SUS's "Fall in Love in Fall" is a big, BIG fav. Others include Lemon Jelly's "Ramblin' Man (Blurry version)," Afternoons in Stereo's "The Argonaut," Blue Wednesday's "#backyardbarbecue" and Kalabi's "What Are We Fighting For." 20 tracks in all. Enjoy!

Awesome Downtime: 3's a Charm

Another round of "Downtime." Big favs in Calibre's "Manchester Nights," The Society of Rockets' "Beachcomber," Lemon Jelly's "Pushy," and Keeno's "In Dreams." Enjoy!

Please note: Track 14 should be credited to The Sura Quintet, and not Don Gorda, although both are present in the track. I think I've also seen it credited as Don Gorda and The Sura Quintet.

Awesome Downtime: More Downtempo, Smooth D&B,... You Name It!

I listen to downtime (chillhop, lofi, downtempo, etc) almost daily. I find relaxing music in all kinds of genres, and not just something you'd only hear in a spa. I have nothing against the latter (I listen to it myself), but I want the comps to be more eclectic. As previously mentioned, I find relaxing music in many genres including certain drum and bass tracks (I label them as melodic or smooth dnb).

Big favs in this collection are Keeno's "Hold Ya," Weathertunes' "Passion," Empty Spools' "Always the Best Way to Learn," Fausto Trusso Sfrazzetto's "Nascere," and probably my top fav - Nine Inch Nails' "13 Ghosts II." Yes, that NIN band but no worries, it's not an industrial or noisy track. I first heard the track in one of my all-time favorite films, 2014's "The Raid 2" aka Serbuan maut 2: Berandal.

16 tracks in all. Enjoy!

Awesome Downtime! The One That Started It All

Awesome Downtime! Chillhop, Downtempo, Smooth D&B, Trip-Hop, Nu-Jazz, You Name It! The original title that ended up into a series.

If you're after relaxing music that doesn't drift off into boredomland, then look no further. Now, this isn't all ambient or Kenny G type of stuff. I find soothing music in just about all genres, even fast-tempo'd tunes. The majority of tracks in the series lean more to chillhop and downtempo. All in all, it's super good music. Particular favorites in this volume include Lurch's "All Yours," Nightmares on Wax "Fire in the Middle," Thunderball's "Golden," Brookes Brothers' "Desert Island" and Bcee's "Hold On." They're all good. Press play, sit back, relax, groove... and enjoy!
