Down

Patrick Caulfield - Braque Curtain (2005)

It's probably a good thing that I got that guest post lined up a couple of days ago because unfortunately I am still in perma-downtempo mode. At least I can meet y'all halfway with my favourites from A:xus, I'll forever love his breed of house.



The Damon Albarn trend continues too, this time with the first ever released single from Gorillaz back when. Containing all that lovely dark hip hop / trip hop infused sound that was present on the debut LP. 16 years on from it's original release and it's still up there for me.



Speaking of the early 00's, here's another one that takes me back. I always really liked the small bits of trip hop kinda things sprinkled throughout the mostly Drum & Bass Weekend World LP, and would love to have the Rollers tackle more stuff in that vein. The downtempo take on Walk This Land is a solid example of this for sure.
