Downtempo

Downtempo is a musical style that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s as an alternative to more uptempo genres like house and techno. It is characterized by a mellow, relaxed tempo and a focus on mood and atmosphere. Downtempo music is often used for relaxation, background music, or listening to on the go. Its influences can be traced back to ambient music, jazz, reggae, and hip hop. It has become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to its chill, mellow sound and its use in film soundtracks and video game soundtracks.
