My friend threw together a huge YT playlist of Adult Swim bumps from over the years.

It is very mellow, not strictly EDM, but some awesome stuff by Nujabes, smaurai champloo and the likes.

Three of my favorites are Electra by Airstream, Mellomaniac by DJ Shah, and Weightless by Marconi Union.

I have TONS of ambient/downtempo music i enjoy.

I too DJ, my roots are in Big Beat/Funky House (Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, BT) and liquid drum & bass (London Elektricity, Brookes Brothers) but my tastes span across many other genres, and alot of that is in the more chill and relaxing music. Lately i've been getting gigs at urban style restaurants where I can get pretty experimental, ranging from playing electro swing to trip hop to glitch to soul, and everything in between, its fantastic.

Gramatik is EXCELLENT, the guy produces some of the best hip hop style music ive ever heard. For those not familiar, heres a taste of his style, hes on Pretty Lights label, so you know its good




Anywho, got a long list of good stuff i'd suggest. This is more chill then the Gramatik type of style. What I listed here is what i listen to when i want to chill out after a long day

First up, Emancipator. Hard to show just one good song, as all his material is fantastic, so get all his music if you can



Next, Nujabes. A lot of his stuff is more hip hop, but he has some great chill tracks too



Blu Mar Ten usually produces intelligent drum & bass similar to LTJ Bukem, but his album "The Six Million Names Of God" is way away from that. Its one of my favorite albums, check out his remake of The Car's "Drive"



Speaking of LTJ Bukem, his stuff is great to chill out to



If you like more abstract stuff, check out Four Tet, one of the best producers out there



Quantic's "5th Exotic" album has some great chill out songs



Ill leave with a bit of acoustic music by Jose Gonzales, this guy is awesome, really skilled



These are just a few of my favorites artists/songs/albums, i have much more if anyone is interested
