Air
Nicolas Godin built this 1998 opening track around a fluid, walking bassline paired with Jean-BenoƮt Dunckel's Fender Rhodes playing. The rhythm stays completely relaxed across its length, making it ideal background fuel that still has serious groove.

Yo La Tengo
From their 1997 record I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, this track is built around a warm, pulsing organ groove, shaker, and quiet, polyrhythmic percussion. Ira Kaplan's reserved delivery keeps the volume down while the rhythm gently propels forward, creating the kind of deep, low-profile groove that feels equally at home during dish duty or quiet late-night listening.
