Chillout classics Spotify playlist

 

What music gives you that special summer feeling?

It is of course an individual thing, but for me good downtempo sounds like summer. I mean, I listen to slow beats all year long, but there still are some tracks that suits better to sun, smiling people and lazy days.

I’ve made a Spotify playlist with a bunch of tracks I would define as chillout classics. Some obvious picks, like Bent – Swollen and Moby – Porcelain, but also pieces from artists like Jon Hopkins, Røyksopp, Orbital, Air, Boards of Canada, Thievery Corporation and Sebastién Tellier. And many more, of course.
