Blissed DJ's keeping it chilled and varied with occasional guests.
Back in the early 1990's a new generation of musicians, music lovers and DJ's re-launched chill out music in the UK from clubs such as "The Big Chill", an old desecrated church in London and Birmingham's very own "Oscillate", whom were the first to coin the term "ambient dub".
It was a scene that put together soft melodies and heavenly atmospheres: ambient, acid, jazz, dance rhythms, beats, breaks, ethnic, and the mystic, creating a truly global sound.
This sound can still be heard all over the planet from the bars and clubs of Europe such as The Buddha Bar and Nirvana Lounge in Paris, The Supper Club in Amsterdam, The Cafe Del Mar and Mambo in Ibiza to the beach parties of Thai Land and Goa.
