I played the closing set at Chillits this past weekend, starting around 11:15 on Sunday morning. Since this was the end of the event, I decided to expand a bit beyond the usual chillitude expected of Chillits DJs: I played political music, with guitars and even some yelling in places. But of course I tried to make it fun, or at least enjoyable.

I'm not sure if it was successfully recorded -- I'll update this article if it was -- but a couple people have asked for a track listing, and for once I'm able to supply one.

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.)
