Laid back music.

'Sup guys.

So I was roaming around the house today, generally cleaning. And it was really quiet, because I simply forgot to turn my PC on. But I didn't want to listen to any dub, or rock or metal or anything. I wanted something really chilled and laid back and easy. But I don't know anything. =[

So my question is, do you guys know any chilled, laid back easy music? No vocals, just instruments and slow beats. Anything would be absolutely legendary. Cheers. (Y)

EDIT: So after a bit of casual research, one artist that sticks out like a sore thumb is Saint Germain (his slower, deeper, smoother beats, anyway.) Anything like that, deep, smooth, slow, would be terrific.

Yeah, those two and zero 7. Again that has vocals but I don't see why that's a problem as the vocals are brilliant.
