Chillhop Timezones France

Chillhop presents Timezones France, the third installment in our global series. Built around sampling vintage records, the compilation draws from 70s French library and film/TV scores, including pianist Janko Nilović, sampled by Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and The Alchemist, alongside Bernard Lubat and Jean-Jacques Debout, plus contemporary sources like NCY Milky Band and Le Commandant Couche-Tôt. France's sample-based hip hop lineage, including DJ Cam, Onra, Hocus Pocus, and Wax Tailor, runs through the same era of samples. The producer lineup includes French Chillhop mainstays C Y G N, L'Indécis, ØDYSSEE, Evil Needle, and j'san, alongside international artists Aso, The Deli, FloFilz, Freddie Joachim, Datsunn, and Philanthrope. Timezones France continues to shine a light on the instrumental scenes and traditions that shape the music we love.
