Abakus is the artist name of Russell Davies, son of The Kinks founder, Dave Davies. Abakus’ music can be described as ambient or downtempo. [1]

As taken from http://www.discogs.com/release/253570, posted by PKS:

Abakus is a name you will for sure hear a lot. This is Russell Davies from the UK, who has allready released several tracks on various compilations on Liquid Sound Design, the chilled side label of Dragonfly Records. Here he is out with his debut
album, which will for sure surprise many people with his beautiful summer chill. This release also came as a special Japanese edition where you will find a slightly different catalogue number and a bonus track. I am lucky enough to have the Japanese version… After hearing his tracks on several compilations, I have been really looking forward to this one.

First out is a beautiful atmospheric track, with relaxed down tempo beats and a fantastic floating vibe. About as beautiful as it can get. The melodies make you really float. Perfect for chilling out in the sun.

Track 2 is another melodic masterpiece, with a groovy bass and a relaxing tempo. The melodies are light and happy, but not too fluffy. Nice one.

not a big fan of this type of chillout, still pretty decent and relaxing overall.
