pal got me into this genre, and now i look at other stuff like dubstep and wonder what the whole point is.

downtempo is sort of a neo-soul genre, lots of r&b elements and it's the chillest shit you'll ever hear.

usually ranges from 80-100bpm


Evil Needle and Ta-Ku are my two favorites so far


sorry, youtube bbcode is fucking up for some reason :I

I agree about wondering what the whole point of some other stuff is, but I didn't really like your downtempo choices.

My favorite downtempo artist is emancipator.

It's a pretty wide genre.

i'd say so.

i like the more jazzy/soul kind, i guess :v

i wonder what the subgenres are, if there are any i'll add to OP
