The LastEDEN project is his solution to world peace: listen to music that soothes your soul.

File under: downtempo, chillout, ambient. Sounds like: Cafe del Mar, Jose Padilla, anything with the word “Ibiza” in it, Demolee, Acid42.

[qd-4265] notinthemoodfordancing – Year II

Album Cover for NITMFD - Year II (qd-4265)

Album Cover for NITMFD - Year II (qd-4265)

notinthemoodfordancing takes synths and loops and mixes in bouncy hip hop beats to create electropop that squelches and fizzes and floats and sputters and echoes in your head. Year II is a 4-track EP comin in at 16 minutes in length, but bringing you to a cool, laidback mental atmosphere.

While his influences include El Ten Eleven, Squareone, and our very own Spazzkid, we say his music is more like the future sound of lotion. File under: downtempo, electropop, electro.

[qd-4264] Demolee – Stars Falling

Demolee - Stars Falling (qd-4264)

(qd-4264) Demolee - Stars Falling

Artist: Demolee
Album: Stars Falling [qd-4264]

Downtempo never sounded so smooth. What Manila-based producer Demolee does in his first full-length album, Stars Falling, is to  create pretty fairy tales of melody and unhurried beats. The resulting 10-track album is chock full of jazzy relaxation that transcends country borders. Think Cafe del Manila instead of Cafe del Mar. Think of lazy breezes, meandering road trips, and star gazing on hot summer nights and you get the point.  Demolee (aka Franco Madrid) once again proves that electronic music software doesn’t always have to churn out banging beats.

[qd-4263] Single Eye Perspective – Dear My Friends

(qd-4263) Single Eye Perspective - Dear My Friends

(qd-4263) Single Eye Perspective - Dear My Friends

Amazing how chance leads to creativity. Single Eye Perspective hooked up his guitar to his laptop running VSTIs and started recording everything using his desktop computer. The long, flowing recordings were then edited into this 4-track EP which is at times charming, and at times folksy, but always emotive even microtonal. The melodies never leave you. The textures never rub off. And maybe that is the genius of Dear My Friends.

(qd-4262) Ambient Sky- Sky Full of Silent Stars - front album cover

Artist: Ambient Sky | Album: Sky Full of Silent Stars (2009) | Release ID: [qd-4262] | Genre: downtempo, ambient, chillout

Full of soothing melodies and lush beats, Sky Full of Silent Stars is a summer downtempo album that invigorates as it relaxes. Ambient Sky (Gerard Pontino) is able to distill all the best elements of his hometown of Bacolod into eleven tracks that celebrate laidback relaxation, smooth waves, and soothing textures. The result is an almost one-hour long tropical vacation in your headphones.

[qd-4261] Clone – Live at Brazil Brazil

Clone - Live at Brazil Brazil (qd-4261)

ARTIST: CLONE | ALBUM: Live at Brazil Brazil | CATALOG: [QD-4261]

In April of 2004, Clone performed and recorded a live instrumental set at the opening of a restaurant in Manila named Brazil Brazil. The Clone nucleus of Lionel Valdellon (Acid42) and Karlo Samson (One Lone Clone) put together a semi-impromptu, not fully planned set of bossa nova beats, cool grooves, downtempo vibes, and chillout melodies. The duo performed a little under three hours of live music, mostly built up from raw loops, track by track. The best hour and 15 minutes of that gig are preserved for posterity in this live set which is part acid jazz, part sampladelica, and all Clone.
