Chocolate Elvis

A cornerstone of Viennese downtempo. Hypnotic vocal loops and thick, dub-heavy basslines create a smoke-filled room of sound that feels both vintage and timeless.

Chocolate Elvis is the sonic equivalent of a slow-motion walk through a velvet-lined corridor. It represents the peak of the Viennese downtempo movement, where Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber perfected a sound that is simultaneously detached and deeply immersive. The music doesn't demand your attention; it colonizes the space around you, turning even the most mundane room into a sophisticated, dimly lit lounge. It is defined by its patience, relying on hypnotic, repetitive loops that feel like they could continue forever without losing their cool.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment the main vocal sample first locks into the delay-drenched drum pattern, creating a rhythmic trance.
The subtle introduction of a bluesy, clean electric guitar lick that cuts through the thick bass atmosphere.
The way the track dissolves into a wash of echo and tape hiss during the final minute of the original mix.
