I'm Roberto from Circadian Phases and we just released of debut album :)

Hi! I'm Roberto, one of the two-headed downtempo project we called Circadian Phases. I know self promoting is always boring, but we really hope to reach those who share our same taste in music. Ephemeral: Sylphs is our first effort in creating electronic soundscape. We listen to a lot of different genres but we are both enlightened by Darkside, iosonouncane, Boards of Canada, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Silver mt zion, and many more artists we use to put in the downtempo zone.

So if you like to give us a try you can find our album on every platform, here's our spotify! https://open.spotify.com/intl-it/artist/3Va764CxMziqsJAT61yUiM?si=3L7y6z9dQXy-UEgw4dRQMw

YO! Overly specific sub-subgenre!

Eyyo! I've been on a nonstop forced psychedelic jazz listening journey. I discovered and mapped regions of music that I haven't gone to. I was lucky eough to hear a similarity in some of the compositions and this lead me to the categorization of jazz in a new way.

Even though it seems natural I struggled to find more. To make thigs clear I'm going to attach some examples. I ask you to listen to them and think if you have some songs close to them.

I appreciate every recommendation. Please stay to the theme. I'm not entirely sure what to call it. But for now I will go with Psychoactive free jazz.

Here are the examples:

In most cases I'm talking about introductionss here. The heavy use of tribal, exotic percussion alongside with an unexpected twist in terms of key changes and such... all without a determined tempo. That's why I like to call it free since we're not locked in a groove. The cymbals just show you a path to follow approximately. Flutes, Trumpets, saxophones play a big part here without leading the whole style into an excessive approach. Mellow piano playing. Rhoads or something. Give me something NATURAL, ORGANIC, TRIBAL yet SOPHISTICATED and CALMING!

Thank you for letting this selection grow!

Yo! Downtempo junkies pls help!

I think I found my new favourite track. It's The Magic Radish by Greg Foat. It might even compete with the Big Six by 9 Lazy 9. Does anyone have any similar tracks in their collection? I've tried different search engines that give you an output based on a song you upload to it but the results were poor. I'm looking for a deep, natural, jazzy composition that lacks electronic vibes and can take you to a different place.

Appreciate every recomendation in advance.

Peace!

female Trip-Hop / Downtempo vocalists needed:

Heya, I'm currently working on a new project mixing 90s jungle nostalgia with trip-hop downtempo vibe (and some ethereal electronic music). I have a track that i'm really happy with but I feel like it needs some vocals to finish it off. Pls if anyone is interested I would love to work with you!

Thanks, G
