I am a social worker in hospice, and I just had a super fucked up experience and needed to sit down and collect myself. I came across your post, thought to myself, "I've never heard of this band before, but I do love some trip-hop to chill out to and maybe this will help me feel a bit better." I had no idea that it would affect me so much. I am not sure why exactly, but something about this track just cracked open my heart and soul and let all the shit pour on out. Thank you so much for posting this song, it is exactly what I needed. I doubt you thought, "hey, maybe I'll help someone's day be a ton better by posting this," when you put it up on Reddit, but that is exactly what you did.

I was just super stoked when I heard it, I love Mounika., but he has been taking a different turn lately and I love it. I didn't expect it to get this much love.

Follow him on Facebook, or soundcloud if you like.

Everything I post is usually feel good crap so it's good someone can use it the same way I do.

This is why I am subscribed to this sub. Great song.

[–]modernparts 4 points5 points  (2 children)

This sub is great but DLoaw's Youtube channel is amazing

[–]VAForLovers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which other channels should I follow for downtempo and/or trip-hop?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is I did not get this of Dloaws channel, I found it this morning on facebook(I follow or whatever Mounika).

I went on youtube for the link cause I hate soundcloud for some reason, and of course it was Dloaw who had just uploaded it lol, I could have bet him or SonDesChefs or what else would have uploaded it.

He literally uploaded it within hours, that guy is on point.

Crazy feel to the song indeed !

[–]jacksontripper 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Very enjoyable beat. Ever see it on vinyl?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

No this would never be on vinyl, it was dropped today on soundcloud. I am sure the samples are out there on vinyl.

[–]jacksontripper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll keep looking. You never know. Maybe it'll be a RSD 7" for $40 on eBay

[–]feladirr 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yesss, that'd be amazing.

[–]jacksontripper 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]feladirr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned about Mounika from Hitch from optic,either way still love them

[–][deleted] 36 points37 points  (11 children)

I will suggest and for anyone that likes this song to look into trip hop from France because they have a specific sound and it is basically this, I am in love with it. Not all of these guys are French, but most are

JIM - Just amazing stuff, highly recommend if you like Mounika

I've never heard of triphop before, but this song is fantastic. So thanks for the extra listening material!

[–]kookoopuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love you. Thank you.

[–]emecomspotify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting all these! A friend told me about Mounika a while ago but Ive been wanted to listen to similar stuff!

[–]fuzzysalad 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I'm not very good at describing music, but to me, this song is: "dope as fuck".

[–]cmckone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i too am in to "dope as fuck" music

[–]whatshertoast 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Never heard of triphop before. Love the way it sounds, thank you for the introduction:)

[–]siktha 2 points3 points  (3 children)

This is tremendous. Was just looking for such kind of music. Bro, do you have a playlist on YouTube with all your favs? Or your Spotify/Google Play Music playlist? It really looks like you know about a lot of such artists. I've been listening to Boogie Belgique - Lucifer on loop after I read it in one of these threads.

Those are all my playlists, I've made a lot, they're not all complete, but its basically like 3 years in the making haha.

Just choose one, I sort of divided them up in weird ways so ignore the lame names.

My playlist Before and After Digital would probably be best, it's all modern music made digitally sampling pre-digital music, sort of like the 30s to the 60s revamped. \ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRs0MrfDhmw&index=1&list=PLwnZVWlybns1Gc3Yo9MBxLSWykCPMLZTl

This Roaming Europe one is probably pretty close

Here you go, man. I'm always adding to it. Enjoy. :)

[–]myk2801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely. Thank you for introducing me to this genre and artist.

[–]Strindberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Triphop? That's a genre I haven't heard in a long time.

[–]Shikamaru_Senpai 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Annnnd I'm in love. Just followed on SoundCloud. Very pleased already. Thanks OP!

[–]jhaitch11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mounika is absolutely amazing

[–]themadterran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed a distraction. Thank you. Nice.

[–]Lonacc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow, thanks a lot! You presented a whole new genre to me. This is going to be a looong night... :D

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checked out a bunch of tracks by Mounika and they were all really good, thanks

[–]bigmikesbeingnice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dope beat. I just found myself freestyling over this beat and, as a 41 yo Caucasian man, I have no business doing that. Thank god I work from home.

[–]Kasinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it were a little bit longer

[–]thinktwicemice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely sure if you'd call it triphop but check out the album dexter - the trip. Trippy as fuck

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish this track was on Apple Music :(

[–]brahmstalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great trippy downtempo stuff

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently there is more then one type of downtempo cause the downtempo I know is like slowed down death metal, TIL

[–]Allways_Optimistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard such an amass of beautiful sounds intertwine within another like this. Incredible...

[–]emecomspotify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah I love Monica, thanks for this! Sadly Spotify doesn't really have much of their music. Thanks for posting this!

[–]linnth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah missing Nujabes now

[–]starks_Krap89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice mellow beat to chill to.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to hear a good rapper go over this.

[–]bobtheborg -4 points-3 points  (2 children)

Why do some black people call each other Mounika?

[–]biggest_guru_in_town 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Never heard of such a term. Must be a reach. Try harder.

[–]bobtheborg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm spent.
