"Chillout" (aka "Chill jazz", "Chill") can be traced to jazz, dance world music, electronica and pop. Unlike dance club music, Chill appeals to a wide spectrum in age and musical taste. Origin The Chill genre is traced to the legendary Café del Mar on the beaches of Ibiza, Spain and José Padilla, the man widely regarded as the spiritual father of Chill. Chillout came to rise through electronic experiments and dub reggae of the 1970s, the beach bars and Balearic sound of Ibiza, up to the eclectic sound of Chill music today. Traveling from Spain to England, into Germany and finally touching down in France, it has become a European phenomenon in the adult club scene. In cities like London, Paris, Amsterdam and throughout the Continent, the hypnotic pulse of Chill has inspired such successful collections as Buddha Bar, Cafe Del Mar and Hotel Costes and many more compilations from artist in the genre. Description The average Chill jazz track is an ambient mixture of up and downtempo beats, with layered synthesis often forming the background as well as rhythm sections. Though traditional instruments are used at times, the most widely applied traditional instrument is guitar. With that exception, most other instruments are emulated tones of the actual versions, including woodwinds, string, brass, and percussions. Vocals are often used in "Chill dream" style, yet not used to tell a story in entirety as R&B, but to spontaneously plant thoughts in the listener's mind as the track moves along.
