Solid Steel Sessions #02 focuses on DJ Food, a key figure in the evolution of the Solid Steel mix series.

From trip-hop and downtempo to experimental electronics and sample-based storytelling, this selection explores the sound that helped define Ninja Tune’s creative identity.

Some albums feel less like collections of songs and more like places you can disappear into.

Nothing Changes Under the Sun by Blue States is one of those records — a subtle mix of trip hop, downtempo, jazz, and electronic textures that unfolds with patience and atmosphere.

Some albums seem to exist outside of time. Midnight Sound (2000) by Flanger is one of them.

Created by Burnt Friedman and Atom Heart, the album blends future jazz, downtempo, electronic experimentation, and organic improvisation into a warm, nocturnal listening experience. Rich grooves, subtle textures, and intricate rhythms make it a rewarding discovery for fans of adventurous electronic music.

Experimental Music: When Sound Stops Following Rules

Experimental music isn’t about structure — it’s about breaking it. It lives in the spaces between genres, where rhythm becomes unstable, textures replace melodies, and sound turns into pure exploration. From ambient drift and IDM complexity to illbient collage and avant-garde electronics, it reshapes how we listen and what we expect from music.

This article looks at how experimental approaches influenced underground scenes and why they continue to matter in modern electronic culture.

Some albums quietly slip through the cracks of time. Soul Samba by Freedom Satellite is one of them.

Released in 2000 on Vienna Scientists Recordings, the album mixes trip hop, future jazz, latin grooves and laid-back electronic textures into a warm, elegant soundtrack for late-night listening.

Long before Koop became synonymous with nu jazz elegance, Sons of Koop introduced their unique blend of trip-hop, downtempo, ambient textures and jazz-infused grooves.

Ancient Astronauts – Themes From Tomorrowland (2015)

A cinematic blend of dub, trip-hop, downtempo, and drum’n’bass — built like a transmission from a parallel future.

Themes From Tomorrowland moves through shifting rhythms and deep atmospheric layers, where basslines feel physical and space itself becomes part of the composition. Each track works like a fragment of a larger journey: urban, futuristic, and slightly unreal.

It’s not about genre boundaries, but about flow — between tension and weightlessness, structure and drift.
