“Peruvian Sound System” by Alvaro Ernesto. Oliver Klein & J.A.M.O.N. mixes.

Just 6 months after his acclaimed “Inside My Soul” release, Chillin Music’s ace-in-the-hole, Alvaro Ernesto, does it for his homeland with “Peruvian Sound System”. This time, Chillin enlists the remix services of none other than, Mr. Oliver Klein and J.A.M.O.N. This beast of a release is certain to lure the lovers of the late-night.

Alvaro takes us on a primetime rollercoaster ride of seductive synth stabs and a rolling bassline that is apt to destroy any bassbin. All aboard as the track elevates the platform with a pulsing percussive rhythm aimed straight for the peak hours. Make sure you’re strapped in because once Ernesto releases the steam, this behemoth unleashes a whirlwind of synth sensuality. “Peruvian Sound System” further emphasizes Ernesto’s regard as an All Star in the realms of all things house.

One of the most sought after producers in the biz, Oliver Klein, destroyed dancefloors with his 2001 mix of “Rheinkraft” on Maelstrom Records. Gaining international recognition from the tops in the industry, Klein’s name has been synonymous with quality ever since. His releases on Platipus, Fuel, Virgin, Cream and Great Stuff have been championed by the likes of Seb Fontaine, Judge Jules and Pete Tong. True to form, Klein showcases his signature deep, funky techno in his rendition of Ernesto’s “Peruvian Sound System”. Provocative rhythms incessantly drive the track along with flawless arrangement of the chords as it culminates with a refined break that brings it to auditory bliss. Two words… Oliver Klein!

Not a nu-jack, J.A.M.O.N. (1/2 of the Nujaxx duo) has been DJing since the late ‘80’s. Some of us weren’t even born yet! A true artist by nature, J.A.M.O.N is a versatile drummer, keyboardist, bassist, vocalist and MC. His recent outing, ‘Off the Chain’ on Demarkus Lewis’ Grin Music, along with previous releases on pinup, Grooveland, licksamba, Spatula City and Drop Music have solidified J.A.M.O.N’s role in the game of house. Much like his DJ style, his rework is ‘like a rhythmic punch-in-the-face-wake-up call commanding you to dance, move, and breathe’. This is a DJs dream to mix as its layers provide a 9 minute textured canvas that teases the senses with filtered chords and interwoven, swirling pads. Make no mistake this one goes deeeeeeep but has more sway than a canoe on the high sea. Big up!

Chillin Music continues to raise the bar for its choice selection of delectable delights. Be on the lookout in the upcoming months for releases featuring Gavin Herlihy, the Dirt Crew, Pablo Bolivar, Pezzner and M.in just to drop some names on ya! Chillin in the house to infinity and beyond!

„Music is our Passion“

Manuel Rodriguez from Magdeburg and Richard McCutchan from Braunschweig have been friends for ages and been making music together sporadically since the beginning of the ’90s.

At the end of 2007, the project “Coca Morales & Sambo Sumerlin” was born, which kicked off with some gigs in Bali (Indonesia).

In 2009, they changed their name to Rodriguez & McCutchan.

Their musical development has been heavily influenced by the diverse sounds playing at the Stammheim discotheque (Aufschwung-Ost) and the Berlin club scene.

The sound of the two artists can best be described as distinctive, permeating, sometimes driving minimal tech, tech house and techno beats.

During their performances, they are always very much in touch with their audience, never losing contact with the crowd.

For them, it is out of the question to simply mix tracks together. Instead, they fine-tune each track to the max in order to get the most out of the mix – according to the motto “surprise and hypnotize”.

“My parents remember me asking them to turn on the radio in the car by pointing at it and shouting-before I could really even speak clearly” explains Rob Grega (AKA Rob G/Still Rob G/Zemo), San Francisco-based musical enlightenment specialist. A 20-year veteran DJ, esteemed mixmaster, and overall musical tastemaker, Rob would be impossible to pigeonhole. With downtempo, hip-hop, funk, jazz, soul, broken-beat, house, + minimal tech influences, his DJ and production style proves to be versatile and fresh in practice.

A San Francisco transplant, originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Rob has a finger placed firmly on the pulse of electronic dance culture. When he was only 6 years old his parents enrolled him in piano lessons. Soon he was playing in a band with some other grade-schoolers, and he became the go-to-kid for musical accompaniment at all his school functions throughout his education career. At the age of 13 he was the first in line to become his church’s new organist when the old one split; a profession he continued at several local parishes outside of Pittsburgh for 10+ years. Meanwhile, at 15, Rob and a high school friend decided they wanted to become disc jockeys. With a bit of assistance from their parents, the two purchased some pretty basic gear, and began DJing youth group and high school dances. Soon his high school was the only one that anyone in the area had ever seen with a live DJ and crowd-pumping musician for all of its home basketball games.

After high school Rob continued his mobile gigs all over the Pittsburgh area, and was soon playing in clubs and lounges. He worked at the local CD store for quite a while, but grew bored of the more commercial music he was hearing and playing and began to look for something different. He moved to Pittsburgh proper, started buying more electronic-based music, and soon an opportunity at a swanky upstairs nightclub presented itself for Rob to begin playing house music, a style that came very naturally to him. Rob’s Wednesday night residency at Soba Lounge became almost legendary in the small city, and once he realized how much he loved mixing house music, he never looked back. He and his friends proceeded to produce many club nights and raves all over the western Pennsylvania area, booking international headliners and helping to expose that part of the country to what was going on musically in the rest of the world. In an effort to find music that really touched his soul, he became a music buyer at the now defunct Hypervinyl, establishing his presence as a major influence in the Pittsburgh area, and helping him to gain the knowledge and connections that would eventually take him to the west coast.

In 2001, Rob made the move to San Francisco, CA. He landed a job at the eclectic music distribution collective, TRC, as an influential house music buyer. Getting to know the landscape and people of the bay area better and better with each interaction, Rob naturally was drawn to the sounds of Om Records, the San Francisco-based label known for its forward-thinking Mushroom Jazz sound as well as internationally acclaimed compilation series. Rob was hired as A&R assistant at Om Records in 2005, and in early 2006 became full-time A&R/Project Manager. While at Om, Rob used his keen ear to help evolve the sound of the label, by enlisting the talents of cutting edge producers and remixers. Rob also became the in-house compiler, finding and sequencing music for every Om compilation that was released during his tenure, including Om:Miami 2007 & 2008, Om:Lounge 15 Year Anniversary Edition, the Om 15 Year Anniversary compilation, Sounds of Om v.6, Om:Beached, Om:Lounge 10, Om & Virgin Megastore present House Essentials, Om:Ibiza 2005-2009, Om:Chilled 1 & 2, Downtempo Garden, two compilations for San Francisco’s chic Hotel Vitale, and even a cover comp for world renowned DJ Mag. Though he thoroughly loved his involvement with Om, Rob recently moved on from his full-time position with the label to instead focus his efforts on his own studio productions. He continues to assist with independent A&R and brand development for a few indie house labels.

Rob’s musical taste runs the gamut and his DJ sets seamlessly blend all manner of house and techno as if it’s all cut from the same cloth. Armed with an extensive knowledge of music culture, Rob is poised to change emotions on the dance floor. As a seasoned music professional classically trained in piano with the ability and need skill to DJ, mix, master, produce and compile, his sound proves to be ever-evolving. Known for his “early morning style” live set; the kind of music that people wait for all night, it is quickly apparent that any audience would jive with what Rob is cookin’ on the turntables, and if you’re lucky enough to catch one, you may never look at music the same again.

Currently holding residencies in San Francisco at the world famous ENDUP along with his contemporaries Worthy (Anabatic) and J Phlip (dirtybird), and the esteemed bar WISH, Rob remains true to his eclectic, multi-genre sounds. Look out for Rob’s latest studio projects as Still Rob G, Shook Night, P(e) and Dos Compadres.

Chillin Music drops in with a sonic boom for their 26th release and just in time for the WMC March Madness. Our favorite Peruvian purveyor of swanky house music darkness, Alvaro Ernesto, has been blazing since his seminal release on Mexico’s BIT Records in 2008 up to his recent releases on Documenti Sonori and Gastspiel. Ernesto’s production could delight the main rooms of Mansion or SET or the tighter venues of D’Vine and the Chesterfield with his deep, tribal rhythms over rolling bass lines. This latest effort, “Inside My Soul,” is no different. It’s deliciously heavy on the low end, with a well-paced build and effective vocal sample stabs leading the way. It’s a prime mover.

A pair of powerful remixes come from the man of the moment, Pezzner (Freerange, Urban Torque), who rebrandishes “Inside My Soul” in his unique, pulsating style. It’s a version filled with rising energy climaxing in a melodic synth solo and rhythmic vocal hits. Perfectly placed chord stabs lift the layered soundscape of effected elements in pure Pezzner polish. A full version and a dirty, rumbling dub are presented here for your approval.

The man behind Chillin Music, Rob Slac, has been on a deep mission with remixes for Native Soul, OM, Tight Recordings and Onethirty in the past year. Slac’s remix of “Inside My Soul” features his infectious tech-funk balanced by a distorted bassline and brilliant sweeps. The mix builds into a dark, twisted monster of loopy funk and cut-up voices.

Available now on iTunes and Beatport.

Orlando’s Chillin Music gets to the nature of things with its 25th release – “Essence” by Filtered Boogie. With three new members to the Chillin family we experience the quintessential evolution of Chillin over the past 5 years.

Filtered Boogie, hailing from Toronto, is one of these new additions to Chillin’s sonic fold. Filtered Boogie has recently appeared on

Queep Organic, Open Bar and 2600 Records. This interesting new producer serves a sultry offering of chilled-out deep house perfect for the lover of elegant layers and just the right amounts of “boogie”.

Upping the tempo a bit with a deep-funk rendition of “Essence” is the Netherland’s own Tommy Largo. Featured on Fabric and OM mixed CDs, his mix will surely please the aficionados of Amenti, Lost My Dog, and Tango to name a few of his past collaborators. Well structured elements of shuffled percussion mixed with filtered chords add to the pure funk of Largo’s mix.

Since making his debut under the moniker of Paper in 2006 on Regular Music, Pablo Bolivar has mesmerized crowds north, south, east and west. Pablo’s rework is a dark, seductive journey into the cavernous trenches of late night bliss leaving no question as to why he’s found his way on to Renaissance and NRK compilations. Looking for the roots of deepness? Bolivar’s “Essence” hits the core with a deep bottom-end and piques the senses with quality effects that soothe the soul.

Courtesy of Filtered Boogie and an unfiltered team of remixers, this is another exploration into the “Essence” of Chillin Music. Your reaction and support will enthusiastically appreciated.

For nearly twenty years, Rob Slac has been droppin’ the goods in the DJ/producer abundant city of Orlando and cities around the world. Whether in the studio or on the dance floor, it is easy to witness his intense level of passion for music of all genres. It is that burning desire that has set the tone for Slac. The questions, “What more can I do for the scene? How else can I contribute to what I feel so passionate about?” kept arising. This would be the birth of Chillin Music!

In 2004, Chillin Music emerged on the scene with a prescription for success – “Working Together for the Music”. Five years later, Chillin has evolved into one of the premiere independent dance music record labels throughout the world. Chillin releases include work by heavyweights Johnny Fiasco, Chuck Love, the Littlemen, Sasse, Pezzner, Olivier Desment, Q Burns Abstract Message and many other industry notables. Through his own production efforts, Rob has appeared on OM Records, FFWD, OneThirty, Tight Recordings, and Chillin Music. Currently, his plate is getting crowded with commissions of work.

As a DJ/producer Rob has experienced all aspects of the music industry. This is the foundation of his mantra, “Working Together for the Music”. Slac’s wish is that “through music we can all form a common ground where we unite and become one in a shared experience”.
