So, the 'jazz piano' bit in Lowride is a sample from DJ Premier's In Deep Concentration by Gang Starr. Which is itself, according to contributors to whosampled dot com, a combination of a replayed phrase from The Awakening by Ahmad Jamal Trio (this seems like speculation) and a sample from Summer Madness by Kool & The Gang.
The Autechres wearing their Gang Starr fandom on their sleeves there, I guess. Still, it does whiff strongly of that era of Mo' Wax ersatz jazziness, and of course it was included on one of those Headzzz compilations. I like to think of James Lavelle taking the blame / credit for that sample.
Also, is this the only song they've released with identifiable TR-808 sounds (if that's what they are)?

Finally an answer to what links Miles Davis, Autechre, and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
