your chillout, show me it

Fishing for music recommendations - i am wearing out my playlist and want to find something new to listen to. Mostly what i listen to these days is smooth, downtempo, chillout, trip hop; electronica with bongos and jazz chords. Massive Attack, Zero 7, Thievery Corporation, anything in that vein.
ETA: Wow, thank you everyone for all the recommendations so far!

Steely Dan is pretty smooth, chilled out and jazzy, though not really "electronica"

To download - right click (PC), or click and hold (Mac) and you will get the mp3 files. These are big files, but I think worth it. The original Snowfall mix is linked from that post, too.
Another one I have been playing and playing and playing is Ben Chun's mix blue (http://www.benchun.net/dj/mixes.html). (Scroll down a bit.)

Mushroom Jazz (DJ Mark Farina)
Om Lounge series, esp. Vol2
Allenko Brothers Ensemble (remixes based on beats by Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen)
Rough Guide to Brazilian Electronica
Now Sound of Brazil
Back to Brazil (DJ Gilles Peterson)
African Travels, Arabian Travels (6 degrees label, usually good)
On the jazzy remix front, I like the Verve Compilations and would second the Nuspirit Helsinki recommendation.
The Soulsearching online radio show has lots of jazzy chord electronica and neo-soul stuff to sample:
