J. Ayur is a producer originally hailing from Bronx, New York, and he’s one who takes pride of being a native in the birthplace of Hip Hop in addition to looking at himself as a purist of the genre. Ranging from many styles such as Boom bap, to Chill, Lofi, Ambient, Down-tempo, and more, he aims to make a fusion of many different textures to bring together something remarkable that is both throwback and nostalgic for the 90’s heads of the golden age era and also modern for the new school, all at the same time. Recently just putting out his first major release “Binary Reality”, he’s already aiming to showcase more work in the near future, so be on the lookout!

What is the best dance track in the world? – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

Blog, Track

I often think about all the great tunes out there. There are many and vast and they all mean different things to different people. Particular tracks identify  a time a place, a moment in each persons memory. There is no definitive dance track of all time as that answer is personal to the individual. My choice though would have to be Underworld – Rez. Read More

Dedication Needed! – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

Since my last blog post, I have literally been inundated with a tweet complaining about my negativity towards the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. I do want to put that right, because I know that for the athletes it’s the culmination of four years of hard work. So, dedicated to all the clean athletes out there, and because we all know that Chillsky likes a Kygo remix, this is High For This by Ellie Goulding. Enjoy!
Don’t forget, at all other times, if it’s Chillout music you’re after, look no further than Chillsky.com

Far be it for me to put a downer on something, but I just can’t get excited about the forthcoming Rio Olympics! Now, drug taking allegations aside, I know we’re going to see blue skies, sunshine and golden sandy beaches, but let’s face it, London 2012 this is not!!

So, if Claire Balding’s enthusiastic charm doesn’t float your boat, I suggest listening to some sublime Chillout tracks from the Chillsky!

Now, it probably hasn’t escaped your attention that this weekend is the Oscars; and before I go any further, I’d like to congratulate Leonado DiCaprio on his Best Actor award. I’m not saying that the Oscars are predictable, okay, yes I am! But, if you want to avoid watching Hollywood’s great and good patting themselves on their backs, then there is more than one reason to boycott the ceremony. The second of which is to listen to some sublime chillout tracks. So, this week I give you three Oscar themed podcast recommendations.

The first is for the best performance in a supporting role, and this goes to Chillsky’s cat on episode #61. The second is for best prop and goes to the broken mic on Chillsky #64. Finally, the third is for the best adaptation of a 70’s television game show and goes to ‘The Price is Right’ on Chillsky #75. All three are right out of Chillsky’s top drawer. Enjoy!

Now, one more recommendation, from Kousk on Soundcloud.

Who needs a dishwasher? – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

Blog

If you’re anything like me, then washing the dishes is a good time to chill. It is the one time you have the kitchen to yourself while the rest of your family are posting selfies on Facebook or playing on their x-box! The question is, what to listen to?

Well, at 40 minutes long, Chillsky #75 is perfect for washing up after a dinner for four. But, if there is just two of you, at 29 minutes, Chillsky #84 will leave you suitably chilled. Lastly, if we’re talking a dinner party for six or eight, look no further than Chillsky #60. At 1 hour 23 minutes it is a chillout masterpiece, but be warned, for the last 40 minutes you’re going to need one more drink!

Now, one more recommendation, from Tara Putra on Soundcloud. I hope you enjoy.

“It’s been emotional”

This week’s top three reasons to chill! – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

Blog

 

1. There’s a presidential election going on, we know. There is much flag waving and high-fiving, understandably! But, here’s the thing, we know the result already! So, come on America, inaugurate the lady and then chill.

2. Then, if that’s not enough, David Cameron has decided that it’s high time that we decide whether we want to live in the 21st Century or go back to the 1970’s with half of his cabinet! Dave, I’m fed up with the debate already, it’s time to chill.

3. Granted, the third reason isn’t going to resonate with the populous, but somebody has to look out for the little man on the street. So, as much as you enjoy the company of Ecuadorian diplomats, and going out on the town isn’t really an option, it must be time to chill.

Now, assuming you’re still with me, you’re going to need a recommendation or two. Not surprisingly, the first is from Chillsky: take it from me, they don’t come any better than #63, a cool cool mix of chillout tracks and the best mention of cashew nuts on a podcast ever! The second is a mix from Therapist called Rebirth of the Quantum Dragonfly. Enjoy!

Ambient Zone 2 – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

Video

To coincide with the release of Just Music’s Ambient Zone 2 compilation, director Richie Johnston (Weightless – Marconi Union, close to 1 million Youtube views) has created a unique and mesmerising feature-length one hour music video to accompany the album in its entirety from beginning to end. Shot in one continuous take, the video features footage of a ballet dancer performing a live visualisation and interpretation of the album, to which Johnston applies a concept he has developed using a digital version of an analogue technique called slit – scan photography to create a totally immersive experience, a fascinating merger of sound and vision, to the most spectacular and enthralling effect.

As you watch, you cannot help but be drawn in with utter wonder and intrigue as the mind tries to make sense of the stunning imagery. At the same time, the video instills in the viewer a beautiful sense of calm and tranquility, the perfect accompaniment for an album that produces the same effects within its listeners.

What can we learn by examining only the first and final shot of a film? This video plays the opening and closing shots of 55 films side-by-side. Some of the opening shots are strikingly similar to the final shots, while others are vastly different–both serving a purpose in communicating various themes. Some show progress, some show decline, and some are simply impactful images used to begin and end a film.

Dark Side of the Moon – Pink floyd (Full Album) – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

Video

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released in March 1973. It built on ideas explored in the band’s earlier recordings and live shows, but lacks the extended instrumental excursions that characterised their work following the departure in 1968 of founder member, principal composer, and lyricist, Syd Barrett. The Dark Side of the Moon ’​s themes include conflict, greed, the passage of time, and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by Barrett’s deteriorating mental state.
Developed during live performances, an early version of the suite was premiered several months before studio recording began; new material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at Abbey Road Studios in London. The group used some of the most advanced recording techniques of the time, including multitrack recording and tape loops.

Analogue synthesizers were given prominence in several tracks, and a series of recorded interviews with the band’s road crew and others provided the philosophical quotations used throughout. Engineer Alan Parsons was responsible for some of the album’s most notable sonic aspects and the recruitment of non-lexical singer Clare Torry. The album’s iconic sleeve, designed by Storm Thorgerson, features a prism that represents the band’s stage lighting, the record’s lyrical themes, and keyboardist Richard Wright’s request for a “simple and bold” design.

The Dark Side of the Moon was an immediate success; it topped the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart for one week and remained in the charts for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988. With an estimated 50 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd’s most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums worldwide. It has twice been remastered and re-released, and has been covered in its entirety by several other acts. It produced two singles, “Money” and “Time”. The Dark Side of the Moon is one of Pink Floyd’s most popular albums among fans and critics, and is frequently ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Toro Y Moi “Still Sound” – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

Video

In mid-2009, Toro y Moi was signed to Carpark Records, on which he released his first full-length album Causers of This in January 2010. His second album, Underneath the Pine, was released on February 22, 2011. He was chosen by Caribou to perform at the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival that they co-curated in December 2011 in Minehead, England.[10]On September 13, Toro y Moi released an EP titled Freaking Out, featuring a cover of “Saturday Love” by Cherrelle and Alexander O’Neal.

Toro y Moi put out a collection of experimental “stream of consciousness” recordings under his side project Sides of Chaz. In an interview with website At the Sinema, he stated that he had moved beyond the chillwave genre: “All that stuff is really good music, like Ernest Green (Washed Out) and Neon Indian. I’m a big fan of all of that, but I think [chillwave] was just a small little period where we all were, coincidentally.”

In January 2013, Toro y Moi released his third studio album, Anything in Return, which he described as having “sort of a ’90s dance mix sound.” According to him, the album “was definitely influenced by lots of different types of house, from deep house to two-step […] The chords [‘Harm in Change’ and ‘Say That’] use—that’s just something I’ve been a fan of for a while. I really wanted to mess around with those kinds of elements and revisit what I did on Causers [of This], but make those elements a little bit better and more apparent.”[The album was called “highly indebted to the late sacrosanct hip-hop producer J Dilla” by the San Francisco Bay Guardian. In promotion of Anything in Return, Toro y Moi has embarked on a tour across North America and Europe, which started on May 27, 2013 in George, Washington and ended on November 10 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Toro y Moi also has a dance side project named Les Sins. In February 2013, Toro y Moi was named one of Fuse’s thirty must-see artists at SXSW.

In the studio, he utilizes a Roland JX-3P, a Moog, and multiple soft synths.

Orbital – Halcyon On and On – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

Video

Sit back, relax, and feel the music as your mind journeys deep into the heavenly world.

Orbital was an English electronic dance music duo from Sevenoaks, Kent, consisting of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll. Their career initially ran from 1989 until 2004, but in 2009 they announced that they would be reforming and headlining The Big Chill, in addition to a number of other live shows in 2009.  The band’s name was taken from Greater London’s orbital motorway, the M25, which was central to the early rave scene and party network in the South East during the early days of acid house.

In addition, the cover art on three of their albums features stylised atomic orbitals. Orbital were both critically and commercially successful, and known particularly for their element of liveimprovisation during shows, a rarity among techno acts. They were initially influenced by early electro and punk rock.

The Orb and Kakatsitsi – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

Video

The Orb’s critical and commercial success in the United Kingdom peaked in the early 1990s with the albums The Orb’s Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld and U.F.Orb, the latter of which reached #1 on the British album charts in 1992. This success led to its infamous appearance on Top of the Pops, where the group showcased its quirky style by playing chess (an interest of Paterson’s since his early youth) while the group’s single “Blue Room” ran in the background.

The Orb’s mid-1990s albums were met with mixed reactions from British critics; however, its work received praise from American publications such as Rolling Stone. The group experimented with vocalists on its next two albums, which critics generally described as bland and uninspired. The Orb then shifted gears to a minimal techno style spearheaded by member Thomas Fehlmann, releasing its new material on the record label Kompakt.

Kakatsitsi are a group of traditional drummers, dancers and singers from the Ga tribe of Southern Ghana, with their roots in the fishing community of Jamestown, the part of Accra where the British based their colonial headquarter.

Sigur Ros – Glósóli – lofi- hiphop beats and downtempo music // chillsky

chillcast, podcast, Video

“Glósóli” [?glou:?soul?] (Icelandic for “Glowing sole”) is a song by Sigur Rós, released as part of their 2005 album Takk… Together with Sæglópur it was the first single released from the album, available as a download only release on iTunes in America and Europe respectively.

The name is a combination of gló- from the verb að glóa meaning “to glow, shine, glitter” and sóli meaning “sole.” The second element of the name, sóli, is homonymous with a declension of the word for “sun”, sól. However, sól, being a feminine noun, only appears as sóli in certain grammatical cases. In this instance, being the title of a song and declined for the nominative case, the form reveals it to be the masculine noun sóli.
