Also makes Drum and bass into breakbeats
Go back earleir … start with Miles Davis. Saturate yourself with his early stuff (Kind of Blue & Coltrane) and the mid period, then the electric.
Jazz is good for the mind and there’s a lot of it and many different flavours. Alternate this with Johhny Cash and Hank Williams, with a little Detroit Techno (courtesy of Atkins, Saunderson & May) and you’ll certainly cover a lot of ground. You’ll also get stabbed by your woman too
my go-to labels for chillout stuff back in the mid-2000s were Ninja Tune, !K7 and Leaf. A lot of trip-hop was associated with the Bristol sound, which included the Full Cycle label.
Check out the Anotherlatenight compilation series.
Leaf is a good shout. There is an amazing ambient web label called stadt gruen. Lovely stuff.
Can strongly recommend a web radio station called Soma FM. Its on itunes radio. They have a channel called Groove Salad. Described as ‘a nicely chilled plate of beats and grooves’. It’s the go to sounds in our house.
DJ Krush debut album Krush is probably the classic out of all the early 90s stuff. You gotta be careful with trip hop as it can quickly turn into weak chill out music. Personally head towards hip hop rather than chill out pussy beats.
Like that Funkstorong a lot edlang

at one point in year 11 I dubbed the Quake soundtrack and listened to that for ages on my Walkman. was awesome.
This mix tape fucking rules… It’s the chemical brothers mix from some underground club…
It’s totally epic
Here’s my 50 cents even though he’s not remotely trip hop:
Bonobo
Jon Kennedy
DJ Cam
The Mighty Bop
Tosca/Peace Orchestra/K&D - all variations of the same stuff/people
Money Mark
DJ Food
Tortoise
Howie B
La Funk Mob
DJ Shadow, Krush goes without saying
…and most things on Ninja Tunes, Mo Wax and Yellow Productions
Is there anything John Kennedy can’t do?
Tortoise
Wouldn’t call them “trip-hop”. Some of their stuff yes (maybe), but a lot of their stuff is straight up post-rock.
Aaron,
FARCK, trip hop eh? … I’m like feeling real auld right now man. Kinda like when I was talking to Mr Dylan about going to a Doc Scott warehouse rave in 1997 and Dylan replied he was in primary school in 97. Ouch!
