Chillout means more than a musical genre, a musical context that includes artist music inspired by styles such as ambient, trance, and new age. Often classified as a downtimer and environment subgenre

the chill-out was born thanks to the environment house, style that emerged during the last eighties in London. Born as a music for chill-out rooms attended after rave parties by those who wanted to recover from "excesses" of various kinds and developed during the second half of the nineties in Ibiza (Spain)

Repetitive, melodic and introspective music that can be played both with real and electronic musical instruments, and with slow pace (not exceeding 120 bpm), the chillout features reminiscent, refined and exhilarating sounds
