The Cinematic Orchestra - Past, Present & Future (2007)

A very intimate and acoustic album with minimal electronic embellishments. This collection contains instrumental versions of much of the Ma Fleur album (released the same year) and some rarities towards the end, including a song titled Lullaby. That should be your last song of the night.

DJ Cam - Lost & Found (2008)


So much of DJ Cam's work is exemplary but this is some of his best. Indelible keys, acute snares, and punchy bass dipped in hip-hop flavour. Look no more, it's cool music for a hot night.

This is a gathering of different artists compiled by Nujabes. The mix is indeed soulful and delivers a superb combination of Hip-Hop and Jazz. Feel the love.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Every Day (2002)


With a virtuosic blend of live instrumentation and subtle electronics, these songs are able to distort your perception of time and reality. Movements that span ten minutes feel like introspective journeys that allow you to take your own path with the assurance of pleasurable resolve.

Jaga Jazzist - A Livingroom Hush (2002)


Yes, another Ninja Tune classic. This is a jazz supergroup from Norway that is comprised of up to 10 multi-instrumentalists. They were recently in Chicago recording a new album, so look out for that.

Skalpel - Skalpel (2004)


Skalpel is a production duo from Poland that creates a variable landscape of sound using classic jazz samples exclusive to their home country. This album drifts from full to sparse and straightforward to quirky but always remains engaging.

DJ Cam Quartet - Saint Germain des Prés Café 9 (2007)


It has been an amazing summer so far I have to say, so here's some chill summer tunes. This is off the ninth edition of a nu-jazz compilation released regularly in France. The second disc of this set is 10 songs from DJ Cam with a nice jazz influence. Enjoy the sunshine.
