After-party music

There's probably a name for the genre. I'm listening to Since I Left You by the Avalanches and it fits the bill nicely

The music is upbeat so you don't get sleepy, but it's sit around rather than jump about, and there are no rough edges to aggravate sensitive heads.

For me the the epitome would be the K&D sessions.

 

I think the entire Back To Mine mix series is about trying to capture this.

 

Try Nick Warren - Back To Mine, without a doubt my most played after club/after party/6am Sunday morning zone out listening salve after a lost weekend spent at Melting Pot/Sub Club in Glasgow.

Have a look through Late Night Tales as well, some excellent downtempo night releases/mixes.

Trentmoller mix is very good



as is every mix below







in fact there’s too many to list, go explore

 

Thanks, I like Jon Hopkins so I'll start with that one.

 

Ah, come down tunes!

K&D for sure, Tosca and Peace Orchestra in are in a similar vein.

Herbert was big for us back in the day - especially Second Hand Sounds and Bodily Functions, although the latter is a bit more housey.

Wait for the break!




Gilles Petersons ‘Worldwide’ series too maybe?

Similar to Late Night Tales, the ‘Back to Mine’ series. The Royksopp LP is amazing, probably my favourite in the series.

 

A long time favourite round our gaff for that late night/early morning melt into the sofa moment



The whole album (All Systems Gone) is gorgeous, but gets a bit housier in parts.

 

One of my favourite mixes ever!

That Irresistible Force remix of Autumn Leaves....

 

Generally I hope the party is over early enough that I can be home and in bed by 10pm. Since most of the parties I go to nowadays are kids' parties, that's generally quite easily achievable.

 

Sounds like me, my current back home mix to get the kids in bed is Minecraft calm music on Alexa

 

I'm loving the A Love From Outer Space parties at Phonox in Brixton which run 4-10pm - get there and back by public transport, and still (theoretically at least) in bed at a reasonable hour.

 

If people don't mind a little outdated self-promotion and music that leans maybe a bit more towards the after-after-party or the morning after, some years back I did a series of ambient/chill-out/"folktronica" mixes that might also fit the bill, depending on how narrowly defined said bill was:

• Breakfast In Bed vol 1 (2007)

• Breakfast In Bed vol 2 (2008)

• Breakfast In Bed vol 3 (2008)

• Breakfast In Bed vol 4 (2009)

 

Chill out The Klf is a great end of the night album.

 

The Allman Brothers version of Whipping Post can normally clear a room. Failing that, I've got a great double Keith Tippett album that is guaranteed to deal with any stragglers.

 

Irresistbile Force - Flying high
