DOWNTEMPO

Downtempo isn't dance music, it is listening music. For 40 years it has dedicated itself to the
exploration of new audio textures and undiscovered sonic soundscapes, often inventing whole
instruments and sound kaleidoscopes in its push for novelty. Because of this, the other genres
have made a habit of consistently and constantly raiding the atmospheric mood and ambience
of Downtempo to employ in their own eclectic styles. But though it doesn't actively seek the
spotlight as much as the others, Downtempo will remain as the genre that was here first and
will probably be here at the end, since it is the only one driven solely by an insatiable desire for
innovation.
