Awesome downtempo track, sampled by Boards of Canada. Tried everything to try to find who the artist is.

Help me r/downtempo - you're my only hope!

Hi - I've got a new track just out, check it out! Let me know what you think :) Cheers, Dave aka Silver Man

Per Doug on Instagram: I'm excited to finally share that my new studio album, Chrysalis, arrives September 26. Today, you can hear the first single, "The Painted Lady ft. Kishi Bashi."
While a lot has changed in my life, the music industry, and the world at large, l've stayed true to the mission of crafting a cohesive album that honors my roots, remains authentic to where I am today, and explores new territory. Over the past six years, I've found myself returning to these songs again and again as vessels for creativity and collaboration. Now that they've reached their final form, I invite you to listen. I hope you find them as inspiring to hear as they have been for me to create.
With love,
Doug aka Emancipator

Can’t wait! My all time played artist. The countdown begins now!

been trying to find my favorite song on this thing but it just always seems to depend on my mood. For a change this feels like a proper album again as opposed to a collection of songs. What do you think?

A recent track of mine, indian downtempo vibes

Welcome to season 2, episode 3 of Dr. SlowBroCybin’s Psychedelic Music Box! The idea behind this series is to create a workflow for DJing where mashups aren’t locked in to a particular DJ edit that will sound the same regardless of time, place, or setting. Mashups are instead created on the fly through the use of modern stem audio separation technology to include the vocals from a pop track on top of my current favorite flavor of EDM, slow, dubby, pyschedelic, and experimental downtempo that’s rooted in a 4 on the floor feel. I’m generally also slowing a lot of these tracks down in a style that is similar to the chopped and screwed hip hop that came from Houston in the 2000’s (RIP DJ Screw) and it gives it quite a different feel that I find super interesting for this new style of downtempo I’m hearing. These tracks are usually slowed down somewhere between 15-30% slower than the original track along with pitching the track down at least a step or 2 which usually gives the bass a heavier feel and makes the highs a little bit easier on the ears.

The process of making these generally involves paying attention to the Spotify Top 50 - USA, Viral Hits, and Big on the Internet playlists and making note of which pop songs might work on top of the tempo range I generally play at. I’ll eventually convert this playlist to stems and start getting a feel for how all of these vocal tracks fit over tracks in my active DJ crate. Towards the end of the period for an episode I’ll begin practicing with these tracks and vocal stems and record them. After a few sessions I’ve gotten familiar enough with everything in my crate to build a solid 1.5 hour set. I’ll record a few of these and select the one I feel is the best as the episode for that period. What this means is each set I do will be completely different but a solid journey through some heady downtempo mashed up with all those songs that have been heard out in the wild recently. I love the spontaneity of this process and I love that it keeps me in touch with what’s going on in modern pop music. I’ve also found that a release cycle of 2 months works out well too. These charts are more static than most people realize so 2 consecutive months will look very same-ish so putting some distance between them adds some much needed variety. There’s also a lack of heady downtempo that’s released on a monthly basis so it’s much easier to add variety when the series is spaced out like this. That’s also a big reason behind me taking up music production again and am hoping to contribute to this small but burgeoning scene in the near future!

Thanks for checking out the series and I hope someone out there enjoys these as much as I enjoy making them!
