Laid back minimalistic reggae/backbeat style?

Hi, I'm looking for a very laid back minimalistic reggae/backbeat kind of style.

To work with songs like (for example)
I'm yours (Jason Mraz)
Over the rainbow (Ukulele-version by Israel Kamakawiwi'ole)
Red red wine (UB 40)
Hotel California (Eagles)

I'm thinking of something where the bass plays on 1 and the guitar plays on 2 and 4, the drums play a relaxed backbeat and..that's about it.
I've been browsing around for reggae styles, but they are generally "to much" for this purpose.
Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards Marcus

Marcus, just find a good, solid-beat style and turn off the style parts that make it too busy. It's that easy.

Thanks Gary!

Yes I will try that. (I was a bit lazy and kind of hoped that someone on the forum already done that (for this specific styles))
So far I've been a bit unsuccessful in finding a style to start from. It's not just that there are to many parts, I also think each individual part plays more than I want.
