We always aimed to be much more than a static camera on a bedroom DJ set. Our aim has been to celebrate and champion the music, culture, artists and venues that we love. Particularly at a time when they were under threat from a range of challenges, both viral and societal.
Now that the worst of the pandemic is over we’re giving some thought to what’s next for the Chill Out Tent. Our first live festival event at Lodgefest in July was an inspiring reminder of the joy of dancing together in a field and we’re planning for more live adventures in the months ahead.
We’d love your ideas on future events, collaborations and projects, perhaps we could bring the Chill Out Tent experience to your town, city, field, gallery or festival, get in touch, we’d love to talk. Thanks to all the Chill Out Tent community who’ve been so amazing over the last 18 months, we love you all 🙂

Chill Out Tent Edition #16
Schedule…
19:00 –Mixmaster Morris (In the real life Chill Out Tent from Lodgefest!)
Leo Mas is one of our favourite DJs, his distinctive groove has soundtracked quite a few hedonistic nights for the Tent crew. He may be best known for playing alongside Alfredo at Amnesia in the 80s or his own club, Movida, in Italy in the 90s, or his remixes with production partner Fabrice, but one thing is sure, his taste and sensibility are still totally rooted in the sounds of today, as you will hear in this special mix he has made for us.
Here’s the line up for our stage at Lodgefest – 24/25th July in East Sussex, close to Brighton & Lewes, it’s a beautiful site and look at all the fab stuff we’ve got scheduled! There’s still some tickets available, see Eventbrite link in comments, really hope you can join us
The Idleris the magazine for people who want to ‘slow down, have fun and live well‘, edited by writer Tom Hodgkinson. We’ve been fans of the magazine for years and when we wanted to tell the story of Chill Out culture we knew it would be the perfect home for the piece we’d been working on. So a few months ago we reached out to Tom, had a conversation about our shared memories of hazy chill out rooms deep in the mists of time and began planning our extended essay ‘License to Chill – is it time to revisit the Chill Out room?‘. The piece can be read in full in the July/August edition, it’s a seven page exploration of the rise and fall and inevitable rise again of these precious spaces.

Edition #15 of the Chill Out Tent has a packed schedule of 8+ hours for our Summer Solstice Sleepover this Sunday 20/6/21, and one of the highlights has to be our after party session at 22:00 BST. This is because we’ll be featuring an archive mix from Alfredo behind the decks at Amnesia in 1986 that a friend in Ibiza found on cassette and we’ve digitized it and combined it with some classic video from that iconic open air dance floor. Expect an insight into the early days of that legendary Balearic sound years before the British invasion, it’s a time capsule from another era. While we wait for the mix do check out this in depth interview with the maestro himself….
