FEATURED PLAYLISTS

Downtempo Instrumentals – “Hypnotic breaks and pensive electronic soundscapes from some of the greatest electronica artists: the perfect soundtrack for reading, working, or just relaxing.”
Wintertime Warmth – “Acoustic, modern indie-folk music ready to warm your winter chills. Works best with a mug of hot chocolate by your side. “
Blissed-Out Beats – “Hypnotic instrumental beats from new artists who blend the funky, sample-based approach of J Dilla with the soothing, electronic flourishes of downtempo producers.”
Psybient – “Also referred to as psychill, psybient is a genre of electronic music heavily influenced by world music and psychedelic sounds. Wherever you are, these songs will take you somewhere else.”
3AM Airport – “Ambient, melancholic trip-hop and IDM that evokes the feeling of being stranded in a large airport late at night.”
Beach Grooves – “A varied mix of smooth downtempo grooves and sunny pop handpicked for sitting by the ocean with a refreshing beverage.”
Walking on Sunshine – “Some songs just have a certain je ne sais quoi; when you hear them you start skipping down a crowded public street. Embarrassing? Absolutely. Will you care? Not likely.”

French Hip Hop: La Deuxième Partie – “The sequel to our original French Hip Hop playlist, this playlist features even more essential cuts from France’s hip hop scene.”
Downtempo Soundscapes – “Drift off to a sublime plane of existence with these beautiful voices and downtempo electronic grooves.”
Keep Dreaming: Morning Downtempo – “This playlist is designed for that perfect moment between consciousness and unconsciousness — when you’re awake but still dreaming — because sometimes a “snooze” should last much longer than nine minutes.”
Electro-swing – “A genre that originated in Eastern Europe, electro-swing combines the classic swing sounds of the 1930s with house and electronic beats. This’ll get your body moving, big daddy.”

South African Roots & Descendants – “Listen to essential songs that have shaped South African music, from 1950s Zulu-influenced jazz to the traditional a cappella singing of isicathamiya music, and the contemporary songs they have inspired.”
