I felt like doing this. There seems to be a good chunk of users on IM who are into this particular genre of Electronic music, so get in here. Related genres also welcome, House, Trip-Hop, Acid Jazz. Share, listen, enjoy.

Essential Listening:

[b]Bonobo | Emancipator | Thievery Corporation | Tycho | Zero 7 | The Cinematic Orchestra | Massive Attack | Blockhead[/b]

I don't know if this counts, but without being a true electronic sub-genre conoseur (sic), I never knew how to classify them, but they always had a chill slow kind of feel that I loved.

I don't know that a lot of this stuff fully meets the definition of "downtempo", but it's all electronic and it makes my dick hard. Hope y'all enjoy some of it. Will post more later, perhaps.

Nujabes reminded me of another chill act I like a lot, at first I confused the names, but it's actually Nosaj Thing...really sick stuff in my opinion...Kid Cudi fans will recognize the first one.

Also, again this might not fit, but I feel should get recognized, they're pretty electronic-y and low-key, though also have guitar, lyrics, and are pretty pop-y.

MMMMMM

Seeing Tycho play in September, incredibly pumped about it. I need to see Bonobo sometime, too, for sure.

Jealoussssssssss. I <3 Tycho.

Bonobo is pretty sweet live. Last time I saw him, he had a live backing band, along with some of the featured vocalists he has on his albums.

I missed chances to see TokiMonsta, Bonobo, and some other bitching good artists (various one-man shows or shows with just one opener) while I was in college because I was just barely delving into electronic at the time and was still just all about rock shows.
