I appreciate a lot of the energetic and upbeat tracks out there, but sometimes I'm looking for stuff that's a bit more mellow, along the lines of Alex Mauer or PDF's Walrus Report.
Any suggestions?

Twilight Electric has some good mellow stuff. "Self Portrait", for example. MC Firedrill has a nice mellow song called "superkeyz". There's also "Cyboshellfish", by Animal Style. Really I'm just picking some random songs in my library via shuffle, so it's not exactly a complete list or anything, but lemme give you some more:
Big Ideas - James Houston
rockrocs - MC Firedrill
Sea of Memories - Rushjet1
day 7 - She
Sjutton - Coova and Bud Melvin
Ruby Cactus - I, cactus
Ter4 - Goto80
1997 - She
Sweetly - Sulumi
Troubled Dreams - Rushjet1
Ichi Ni San Cuatro - Mr. Spastic
That's a pretty widely varied group of songs, but they are all pretty mellow. A low of great songs in there, too. From ambient chill to funk, and some dreamy melodic stuff.

Pretty much everything I write is "mellow." :3
Are you looking for stuff as energetic as Walrus Report or do you want even MORE mellow?

You should definitely check out Linde's latest release, and I'm not sure if this is lame self promotion, but I've written some pretty mellow stuff in the past:

Whatever sounds good to you 
Walrus Report would be a good benchmark for the kind of mellow I enjoy.
Linde's release is quite kickass too
We are eating our children is amazing

I second this.
this song is brilliant.
Also, We The Sick does some gorgeous mellow stuff, this and this being my favourites.

I actually just finished a more mellow, moderate song today, but it has guitars and vocal attempts, oops:
