The instrumental track Harpsichord, featured on the album Sixteen Oceans released on March 13, 2020, invites listeners on a dreamlike journey with its distinctive timbre reminiscent of the harpsichord, just as its title suggests.

Showcasing a unique musical approach that paints rich scenes and emotions, this piece is perfect as stylish background music to brighten everyday life or as a soundtrack for moments of relaxation.

StargazerOvall

It’s a band formed by three artists—Shingo Suzuki, mabanua, and Shingo Sekiguchi—each known for their wide-ranging work as players, composers, and producers.

In September 2017, they restarted their group activities after about four years, and in December 2019 they released a self-titled album.

This song was released as the lead single from that album.

Built on a boogie-to-funk-style track featuring a distinctive snare timbre and a bass that drives a powerful groove, the freely darting synth sounds are insanely cool!

Channel 1 Suite (Four Tet remix)The Cinematic Orchestra

Formed around Jason Swinscoe from the UK, this group lives up to its name by unfolding a uniquely grand sound.

Their genre defies easy labeling, but their music—anchored by an improvisation-driven live jazz band and skillfully fused with electronic elements—will feel refreshingly surprising to first-time listeners.

Start by checking out this track from their landmark 1999 debut album, Motion.

Its cinematic atmosphere works wonderfully both as background music for work and for moments when you want to engage deeply with the music.

This unit was formed in 1997 by a British duo who originally had careers as studio engineers.

Highly trusted by many artists and bands as remixers, their deft, genre-spanning sensibilities are already on full display in their debut album, Simple Things, released in 2001.

This track, included on that debut, is a stylish vocal number featuring a female singer.

With a distinctly European air—languid yet refined melodies—and a soft track built on floating electronic sounds as the background, your afternoon tea time will turn into a luxurious delight.

Dusk You & MeGroove Armada

A techno duo from the UK formed in 1994.

They’re known for live performances featuring a full band and enjoy strong popularity as one of the quintessential Big Beat groups.

In Japan, despite their international fame, they were long regarded as “the last major dance act yet to visit,” as a Japan tour proved elusive for some time.

Here, I’d like to introduce a track from their second album, Vertigo, released in 1999, which served as their breakthrough.

While the big hit I See You Baby is the best-known song from this album, this particular track showcases their quieter side, with a gentle, electronica-like vibe—perfect as bedroom background music!

Eple (Edit)Röyksopp

Speaking of Röyksopp, they’re a familiar name—especially to anyone with a soft spot for the electronica scene of the 2000s.

The Norwegian duo’s sound blends a distinctly Nordic, cool-textured electronica-to-ambient feel with synth-pop elements reminiscent of Depeche Mode and New Order.

The track introduced here is a single from their acclaimed 2001 album Melody A.M., and stands as one of their signature early numbers.

Its colorful electronic palette and striking electric piano tones make it irresistibly catchy.

If you’re curious, this is the perfect first song to start with.
