Your downtempo
music hub.

Stop everything. Or don't. Either way, once you start playing this luminous ambient-downtempo wall of meditation from Past Inside the Present's zakè and marine eyes, you may find yourself sliding into their world of tape-soft drones, weightless vocals, and patient natural light.

Presented as an ambient journey balanced between hope and melancholy, Still Beauty reflects true depth and the pulse of human resilience underneath. Available now in digital and CD formats, and I am hoping there is a vinyl release next.

It's K&D, what else is there to say? Their DJ-Kicks album on !K7 was legendary when it dropped, one of the early influences on Afternoon Nap, and helped define an era and a sound. Thirty years later, it has been given a loving remaster by Bernie Grundman and, for the first time, blended as one continuous piece across three LPs.

Dub-heavy, jazz-flecked, and cool, it is still one of the downtempo north stars. Drop the needle on the vinyl, if you can find it, lie back in your lounge chair, and enjoy. Livin' free, that's my calling…

Myra's second record for Gondwana is the rare spiritual-jazz album that earns its serenity, every long tone placed with intent, saxophone and harp threading through Matthew Halsall's unhurried production.

It's the kind of record downtempo keeps reaching for and rarely catches: warm, patient, quietly devotional. Put it on at dusk and let it do the rest.

Glasgow's corto.alto turns Liam Shortall's bedroom-to-bandstand project into a full-blooded statement, dub-wise low end, brass stabs and broken-beat drums folded into something that swaggers.

It's nu-jazz with its sleeves rolled up: clever but never academic, and built to move a room.
