The Chillout Project

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chillout Project is a series of compilations featuring house, downtempo, and lounge music by various artists compiled and produced by Anton Ramos.

Anton started The Chillout Project as a radio program in the Philippines back in 1997 on local radio station 99.5 RT. It focused on what was then the cutting edge sound of downtempo and trip hop.

That enjoyed an unprecedented run as the lone electronica/dance music show on air until 2002, when the show transferred to a new station, Joey 92.3 where it can still be heard today.

Anton is also a much sought after DJ, most famous for his sunset sessions in the beach island of Boracay. The Chillout Project has become the largest selling electronica/dance compilation album series in the Philippines today.

Since its release, the chillout compilations have featured tracks from diverse artists of the electronica, trance, ambient, and lounge music scene such as: Thievery Corporation, Groove Armada, Wamdue Project, Moloko, Bliss, Sade, Roger Sanchez, Chicane, Anggun, and Zero 7.
