The Dining Rooms lay down a similar vibe, check out their first album, Subterranean Modern Vol. 1 from 1999: https://open.spotify.com/album/42n3hWmZuEOrNExFM8qEd8

I’d say Kruangbin for the vibes, but not necessarily genre. But give Janko Nilovic a try. He might be a little too jazzy, though. But of what I can find, Grover Washington Jnr’s Loran’s Dance on Reed Seed album is pretty close.

I would be really interested to hear back when you’ve found the time to check out the suggestions. Open question: what do you think?

It reminds me of Marvin Gaye a bit, from What’s Going On, or Jah Wobble from Rising Above Bedlam. There is even an element of Sly and Robbie in there, I believe. Cool tune though 😎

There are better answers I might come up with, but my immediate thought, a couple bars in was Boz Scaggs Lowdown.

I like it! A little bit of Bombay Dub Orchestra (remixes), a pinch of Thievery Corporation, a dash of Khruangbin, maybe even a little Morcheeba.

This has a strong Paul Hardcastle flavor to me. Maybe London In Springtime. Several of his songs have this singer, too.

Morcheeba

Thievery Corporation

Apple has 2 fantastic playlists if you use it: Trip-Hop Essentials and Downtempo Essentials

Also anything from those artists for a trip down the rabbit hole - Dining Rooms, Quantic, Massive Attack, Tricky, St Germain, DJ Shadow, etc

My first reaction was

Sade - No Ordinary Love, but then I moved to

Jamiroquai - Space Cowboy and finally settled on

Brand New Heavies - Never Stop.

How is that?
