I didn't find a thread specific for this genre so I thought I'd make one myself. If I'm wrong please direct me to that thread. For those who dont recognize "chill hop", I'm talking about Nujabes, Nomak, DJ Okawari, etc. I kind of just got into this genre recently and i love it. Tell me what you guys think about it and some songs if you guys already knew this genre! 
 
Here are some examples of what I'm talking about:
 
Next Dimension - Nomak
Moon Flow - Nomak
Bluebird Story - DJ Okawari (feat. Jumelles)
 
This genre is great for those times when you just want to relax.

No, but I am now an instant fan.  I do however listen a lot of Downtempo, right now working my way through the properly chilled podcast line up.  From the bottom up.

oh yeah! I really didn't know how to categorize it so I figured hip-hop, sort of but...It's become my favorite genre. Takes you places. Originally sidetracked into this after getting into the japanese hip-hop stuff like Rhymester and Midicronica, but found this form to be much better.
Here's a bunch to check out:

This is a genre Im recently getting into, looking forward to checking out some of the bands you guys have posted.

Resurrecting this old thread, as I really enjoy this genre.
One of my favorites is Hugo Kant, and I encourage everyone that is into Trip-hop/ Nu-Jazz/ down tempo/electronic to give him a listen

 

[Lindholdt]

Poldoore is another great artist in this genre IMO.
Not quite as Jazzy as Hugo Kant, but more trip-hop focused with a touch of Funk and Big band sound. Lots of great album's to explore, the above is his latest work, but some of the older ones are fantastic too

Chill Hop is my go to music at work. I'm also working on another degree and this is my study music. It is perfect in the background to drown out more distracting stuff. Pro tip, I play this when mama is hungry or angry (usually the same thing with her) and she seems to calm down a bit. Later she comments on how calming my music was.

Gas Lab! He was my introduction. He has sort of expanded into more mainstream music, but his core is there. JoJo Mojo is cool too.
