Well, here it is. Something I've been promising for years, and years, and years, and years. A proper chillout mix has been something I've always wanted to do, yet never felt I could do it justice. I've had many false starts, loads of playlists of tracks I wanted to throw in. I could never make something I was happy with. Unlike a dance music mix, where you can get away with tunes not being in key, or the odd transition not being too great, as long as the energy stays good, a chillout mix has to hit the mark with every single mix. A jarring change in key will be felt. Throw in a track that ruins the mood and the whole thing is ruined.
So yes, that kind of thinking has led to all the false starts, and abandoned projects. But it's also led to this. And I'm somewhat happy with it.
So get a yourself comfortable on the sofa. Or stick on the headphones. Smoke a joint, Pour a glass of wine. Have a bath! Whatever you do, just enjoy it. ;)
