What type of music...

This may be a hard question to answer without any sound clips, but what genre would you classify electronic music that's played at nice restaurants, or up scale lounges? The type of music I'm referring to has hints of jazz, and kind of a slower house beat. I'm having a hard time describing it, but it just sounds really chill! lol I'm sure some of your have got to know what I'm talking about. haha

Deep house?

ambient

Electro jazz
Deep house

At a lounge, it's probably deep house. At the restaurants, you're probably hearing downtempo, acid jazz, and/or actual jazz. [Edit: Some are also known to play the occasional atmospheric D'n'B or "jazz and bass" track, but that's not as common].

How chill are we talking about? Does it still have a "4/4" beat, or is it a really slow break beat, like something from K&D or Tosca?


Example:



Is it that, or closer to regular house?

Garage

i love acid jazz <3

its a house beat with no drops or rises something very constant that you can talk over

Id call it house still for more of a mature or relaxed enviornment

something like this maybe?

does it sound anything like this >?

This is a bit too slow and has a bit too much going on in the song for what I'm thinking of.

This is probably the closest to what I'm thinking...but still not right on the money. A bit too ambient and slow I think, and lose the vocals.

I think I have an idea of what you're after. Is this any closer?

Ya I'd say that's in the genre I'm getting at. So I guess it's deep house then that I like! lol

How about some buddha bar music?

I'd say so - any slower and it's either prog or dub (depending on how "funky" it is).

It's actually hard to find this sometimes - most of what gets labeled "deep house" today is either minimal, like the one ***** posted, or the Lazy Dog variety, which is pretty chill but busier than the one I posted (rhodes pianos, saxophones, occasional diva vocals, that sort of thing).

Anyway, guess that's a start - happy hunting!

yeha i just searched lounge chill out in youtube

I know lounge music is like you said saxphones strings warm sounds maintaining the same pattern usually female vocals or vocaless

this type of music is good 2 talk over i dont know the subgenres name so thanks Digi for clarifying that

Nope. I've just always really enjoyed it and never knew what it was called. I was at a nice restaurant on vacation and heard it and thought I'd ask the TOTA community!

If anyone has tracks, or sets that they want to suggest or share I'm open!

is deep house really big anywhere? I was always under the impression that it was a real niche market type of EDM in general

true. it just seems to me deep house doesn't get enough appreciation. then again, it's not something you can dance your ass off to

i forgot, DJ Heather and Colette and Mark Farina comes to Toronto at least once a year
