I've been working on this for a few months -- and as usual, finding the right speech sample tied it all together.

That's not me scratching live on a turntable, though. I took a couple samples by DJ Puzzle, and ran 'em through a bunch of semi-randomizing effects.

9 MB MP3, six minutes and forty-one seconds.

Heh rad, Chillits was mentioned on MetaFilter too -- by none other than Tal M. Klein.

Boing Boing has an article about Chillits sets again this year.

This kind of recognition is pretty cool -- Chillits began as a quiet little event for a group of friends to chill out together, quickly became one of the very few opportunities for ambient/chill DJs (including myself) to play for and inspire each other, and is now an internationally recognized (by geeks) phenomenon -- all without going commercial, though it keeps getting harder to fairly distribute the very limited number of tickets.

(And no, sorry, I don't have a secret way to get you into the event.)
