Chill-out is a loosely defined form of popular music characterised by slow tempos and relaxed moods.
The term “chill-out music” came from an area called “The White Room” at the Heaven nightclub in London in 1989. There, DJs played ambient mixes from sources such as Brian Eno and Pink Floyd to allow dancers a place to “chill out” from the faster-paced music of the main dance floor.
In the early 2000s, DJs in Ibiza’s Café Del Mar began creating ambient house mixes that drew on jazz, classical, hispanic, and new age sources. The popularity of chill-out subsequently expanded to dedicated satellite radio channels, outdoor festivals, and thousands of compilation albums. Chill-out was also removed from its ambient origins and became its own distinct genre.
