Idyllic Music Podcast

Trip Hop - Electronica - Downtempo

Episode 76

Welcome to the Idyllic Music Podcast featuring the melodic and rhythmic, the charmingly simple and deceptively complex.

Idyllic Music can be Trip Hop or Ambient, Jazz, Dub or Downtempo. In short, headphone electronica. Music as cool as a gentle summer stream.

This week, we'll explore tongues and grooves from 5 bands that build on individual contributions to realize a vision beyond a single person. They are Chillerstadt, prod13F, Messian Dread, William Lamy and Alchemy Groove. I'm Jim Nye.

We'll begin with a sound ringing clear and a sultry groove. Here is Chillerstadt and 'Heat'
