Turn on, Stay in, Chill Out…
The prolific German musician, who has died aged 74, released an astonishing range of music, spanning techno, prog rock, ambient and more. A lovely primer on his enormous musical output from Alex Petrides here, we’ll say farewell with this epic piece under his Richard Wahnfried alias – ‘Druck’. x
In memory of Harold Budd; ambient, minimalist, neoclassical, whatever the label his legacy is a body of work full of shimmering, timeless beauty…

Jose Padilla was a friend, mentor and inspiration to many people in the Chill Out Tent community. His passing is a huge loss to all who knew him and his work. We pass on our thoughts and condolences to all his friends and family at this sad time.
We are working on an appropriate way to mark Jose’s passing in the coming weeks, until that’s possible we’ve compiled an archive of material to remember him by, articles, interviews, films, mixtapes and performances all celebrating a life in music. If we’ve missed anything, let us know and we can update this page accordingly. Adios Jose…

Following last week’s sad news of Peter Green’s death, we had to make this week’s ‘classic’ one of his performances. Such a sad loss, but what a legacy…
Ennio Morricone, the Italian composer whose symphonic scores backed everything from spaghetti westerns to romance, horror and sci-fi films, has died aged 91. Our Chill Out Tent Classic this week is one of his most famous compositions…
