[Chic BGM] A Curated Selection of Stylish Classics to Color Your Everyday Life (21–30)

Les NuitsNightmares on Wax

A solo project by George Evelyn—also known by his stage name DJ E.A.S.E.—a UK native now based in Ibiza.

As one of Warp Records’ longest-standing artists, he’s an indispensable figure in the history of electronic music since the ’90s.

This track showcases the full appeal of Nightmares on Wax, characterized by a smoky downtempo/trip-hop sound.

It’s included on the third album Carboot Soul, released in 1999, so be sure to check it out.

When we say BGM, it’s not just about rhythmic instrumental tracks—you also want mellow tunes with a relaxed mood that make you move gently, right? If you’re looking for music like that, I recommend WONK’s “Orange Mug.” It uses a boom-bap-style beat reminiscent of overseas R&B and ’90s hip-hop, and just listening to it makes you want to move your body.

It’s dance music you’ll want to play at night.

I think the intentionally low-budget feel of the music video actually creates a stylish vibe.

On My MamaVictoria Monét

A message of powerful self-affirmation that stirs your heart without you even realizing it! This is a track by singer-songwriter Victoria Monét from California.

Written “as if speaking words to herself” during the challenging postpartum period, the song overflows with positive energy that boosts listeners’ self-esteem.

Its memorable hook—sampling a 2009 track—and triumphant horns feel great and seem like they could blow away the languor of summer.

Released in June 2023 and included on the acclaimed album Jaguar II, the song became her first top-40 entry on the Billboard Hot 100.

Why not charge up your energy by listening on a summer drive or on a morning when you want to lift your mood?

PURPLEillmore

A beatmaker affiliated with the Tokyo-based label Chilly Source, he continues to work out of Oita.

His multifaceted talents shine in many areas, from composing music for apparel brand commercials and providing tracks to other artists, to making the finals two years in a row at Japan’s largest track/beat-making competition, BEAT GRAND PRIX.

His 2018 release, PURPLE, is a quintessential illmore track—brimming with contemporary sophistication and uninhibited playfulness, it’s the kind of tune that might make you feel like you’re tripping just by listening.

Cheek To CheekElla Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

A masterpiece has been born, woven from elegant melodies and luscious harmonies that evoke the arrival of spring.

The 1956 duet by American jazz legends Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong superbly captures the joy and exhilaration of love as felt through dance.

Featured on the classic album “Ella and Louis,” this song blends Ella’s smooth, delicate vocals with Louis’s warm, gravelly voice in perfect balance, overflowing with the happiness of two people in love.

Also used in the 2018 film “Green Book,” it’s an ideal companion for a spring afternoon tea with someone special or a leisurely weekend drive.
