Its time for my favourite kind of post - a mixture of Downtempo, Trip-Hop, Deep House & Techno and general chilled out beats for your listening pleasure!
Taken from Starkeys' new album Stars (feat. Anneka) (available here
) is 'Stars (Ital Tek Remix)
'.Ital Tek has transformed the orginal. He starts it slowly with a modicum of bright synths utilising the originals soft vocals before slowly transitioning into a beautiful medley of deep intelligent beats and edgy soaring chords...extremely relaxing Ambient Dubstep

'Londinium
' - Archive is in my humble opinion possibly the greatest trip hop album ever pressed! Released in 1996 and available here. It is a triumph, i am just sorry i didn't share it with you sooner - the track i have chosen is called 'Beautiful World' - the opening is very Vangelis-esque, it wouldn't feel wrong to hear this playing in 'Blade Runner,' ...that is until the smooth Hip-Hop vocals kick in, i love the subtle organ backing the vocals...an awesome track from probably one of my favourite albums of all time

(please be patient with the players, click play once and then wait)Taken from the Colour Series - Pink 07 Sampler
(released on Freerange Records) is 'Wanna Love You
' - the artists Vincenzo & Elmar Schubert have taken a fantastic disco sample and deconstructed it into a few pulsing chords - the addition of a solid house beat gives it a really catchy quality - but its really smooth listening with a very pleasant breakdown...definitely worth the purchase!Wanna Love You - Vincenzo & Elmar Schubert.mp3
Swiss artist Raphaël Ripperton recently released album 'Niwa
' (Japanese for Garden,) its a fantastic compilation of Deep House and organic Chillout - and 'The Sandbox
' is my choice track - its a warm atmospheric track, i really love the loop of child vocals, the gently plucked guitar and the bell chimes on the breakdown...(please be patient with the players, click play once and then wait)
Its not often you get a speech on the crisis of today's society in a techno track - but Piano Africano is an exception - the full opening minute is a lecture accompanied by a slow beat build, climaxing into a deep techno anthem...perfect for the morning floor, and its available here
