'Cool' songs - Looking for inspiration...

[JohnStitch]

Just putting together a playlist of 'cool' stuff, looking for inspiration....

I can't really describe the sound I'm after, other than it is quite chilled, yet funky, would sound great chilling in the garden on a sunny afternoon with a few beers...Some examples of the type of stuff I mean:

Emiliana Torrini - Gun

Tricky - Aftermath

The Sensual Woman - The Herbaliser (Ok, can't exactly blast this one across the garden if the kids are out :-) but love the sound of this track)

[JohnStitch]

Cheers guys, will have a listen - Guess it's quite a difficult request when I can't really explain myself properly, but I'll know it when I hear it

How about artists like phaeleh, burial, fortet, ramses B etc? Maybe a little more bass heavy than what you had but very nice chillout 'midnight' music.

This is a nice Phaeleh mix. In reality I could have picked a mix from any of the above and it would have been fantastic to my ears. Your experience may differ.

Yeah, I like Burial etc, but for this playlist I'm trying to get something with a bit more 'funk' to it - I'm not after proper funk (already got plenty of that in another playlist) but if I can find more stuff, preferably like the Herbaliser and MC900 ft.Jesus links in my original post that would be great.

[Chimune]

The Who - Eminence Front version off GTA.
something / anything by Tom Petty ?

[Condi]

Parov Stela certainly contains funk.
