The Sunday Chill Track #20
The twentieth installment of the Sunday Chill Track is an old school ambient techno classic from 1990: Psyche‘s (Carl Craig) ‘Elements’. Very recommended for listening to while chilling on the couch.

The Sunday Chill Track #19
Four Tet’s chilled-out ambient/idm take on the closing track of The King of Limbs album by Radiohead, ‘Separator’.
From the remix album TKOL RMX 1234567, featuring remixes of Radiohead tracks by the likes of Caribou, Nathan Fake, Modeselektor and SBTRKT.
The Sunday Chill Track #18
Perfect minimal house track for a Sunday in autumn. From Roman Flügel’s new album Fatty Folders:
The Sunday Chill Track #17
Fever Ray is the solo project of The Knife‘s Karin Dreijer Andersson. The debut album Fever Ray is already from 2009, but when it came by on my iPod today I realized it has undeservedly never been featured on this blog. Time to change that, here is “When I Grow Up” as this week’s Sunday Chill Track:
Also check out “If I Had a Heart” and “I’m Not Done”
The Sunday Chill Track #15
A very, well, chill track suited for a Sunday from Pitto‘s album Objects in a mirror are closer than they appear.
The Sunday Chill Track #14
I can’t stop playing this track since I discovered it on the 1992-2002 album a few weeks ago. It was a bonus track on that compilation. From the style I’m guessing it was produced during the studio sessions for Beaucoup Fish. A fat, sluggish beat, good build-up and great vocals from Karl Hyde:
The Sunday Chill Track #13
Jamie Smith is a member of The xx, so why not call your soloproject “Jamie xx” for clarity? He has been producing his own work since 2009 and he seems to be getting better and better. His latest double release at Numbers is pretty damn good. Mix some Kode 9 with Burial and a add a little The Knife and the result is “Far Nearer”, add some rave to that and you end up with “Beat For”. Listen to both tracks below:
The Sunday Chill Track #12
Like last week’s, this week’s Sunday chill track is an oldie. I have chosen this classic ambient masterpiece by Aphex Twin to celebrate that Mr. James is going to perform on Dutch soil this summer. He will be doing his face mapping show at Lowlands Festival in Biddinghuizen in August. Had I known, I might even have tried to buy a ticket, before they sold out in a day. Anyway, enjoy “Stone In Focus” from Selected Ambient Works II (1994):
The Sunday Chill Track #11
I’ve been receiving hundreds of e-mails a day lately, all asking: when will “the Sunday chill track” return? Well, all you crazy fans, this is the moment. The SCT is back, and we revive this popular category with a modern classic. I know everybody has burned a whole in their copy of Kalkbrenner’s Berlin Calling and I know this track is not even 2010 or 2009, but soooo 2008. But I still think it’s a great track, maybe even timeless. So, get rid of your blasé attitude and enjoy “Azure” one more time:
The Sunday Chill Track #10
This is a 2007 Echospace remix of the Model 500 (Juan Atkins) track “Starlight” which was originally released in 1995. The original is a great 125 bpm techno track, very different from this craftily produced entrancing ambient remix. The perfect selection for…(drumroll please)…the tenth installment of The Sunday Chill Track:
The Sunday Chill Track #9
Amazing song from Deerhunter’s Halcyon Digest:
And here’s the kick-ass remix by Diplo & Lunice :
The Sunday Chill Track #8
This is from the new ambient/experimental SMM: Context album. It’s calming and soothing, but it also has quite a disturbing edge, in a good way.
Jacaszek -- Elegia:

Forget about the crappy weather (in Western Europe) and listen to Peaking Lights - All the Sun That Shines:
The Sunday Chill Track #5
Manu Dibango’s Soul Makossa is considered by many to be the first disco song. The 1970 album with the same title is a great Afro jazz album that I have recently discovered. This is a very low-paced, dreamy track and therefore perfect as this week’s Sunday Chill Track:
The Sunday Chill Track #4
From Eno’s Small Craft On A Milk Sea. I think this is the best track from Eno’s latest. It’s the reprise of Emerald and Lime.
The Sunday Chill Track #3
The Sunday Chill Track is back after the holiday break. Today’s track is from Ulrich Schnauss, a producer of ambient and electronic pop music from Berlin. His primary influences are “shoegaze”, Cocteau Twins and Tangerine Dream. The track is from the critically acclaimed A Strangely Isolated Place album (2003). Listen to this and you will not be needing your Monday paracetamol:

The Sunday Chill Track #2
This picture could have been taken somewhere in The Netherlands today. In fact, it’s the cover of a free single that was released by Beach House on Friday. Since it’s a very laidback and somewhat melancholic track I figured it would work well as this Sunday’s chill track. So kick off your snow boots and listen to I Do Not Care for the Winter Sun:
