Downtempo (sometimes referred to as chill out chill or downbeat) is a type of electronic music style similar to ambient music but usually with a beat or groove. The tempo as well as the drum patterns of each track can vary. Sometimes the beat can be restrained and/or simple. Sometimes the beats are more complicated and more featured instead of being in the background but even then they are usually less intense than other kinds of electronic music like trance and house.
