One of my fav genre's. Hooverphonic rules.
More good ones.....
Kruder and Dorfmeister - the reference downtempo disc....
Leftfield - classic electronica
Tosca - more goodness from 1/2 of Kruder and Dorfmeister...
Loop Guru - shame this band isn't around anymore - hard to describe - I suppose Buddha Bar style chill music with an intense beat.
Some Drum and Bass like LTJ Bukem and his Earth Series. - This guy is the best of the best for "intelligent" Drum and Bass and quite frankly Bukem is probably the only listenable Drum and Bass - very chill....
Now my recs tend more toward chill / electronica but I think Trip Hop by itself is way too limiting.
By the way - if you want to listen to the best internet station for this genre - go to
