[QUOTE=Wikipedia]Chill-out music (sometimes also chillout, chill out, or simply chill) is an umbrella term for several styles of electronic music characterized by their mellow style and mid-tempo beats — "chill" being derived from a slang injunction to "relax."
Chill out music emerged in the early and mid-1990s in "chill rooms" at dance clubs, where relaxing music was played to allow dancers a chance to "chill out" from the more emphatic and fast-tempo music played on the main dance floor.
The genres associated with chill-out are mostly ambient, trip-hop, nu jazz, ambient house, New Age and other sub-genres of downtempo. Sometimes the easy listening sub-genre lounge is considered to belong to the chill-out collection as well. Chill out as a musical genre or description is synonymous with the more recently popularized terms "smooth electronica" and "soft techno" and is a loose genre of music blurring into several other very distinct styles of electronic and lo-fi music.[/QUOTE]

So what do you think about Chillstep, or chill-out music in general? Sorry about my focus on Chillstep in this thread, but that's just because it's the chill-out genre I know the most about. Feel free to fill me in on that and recommend all sorts of chill-out music in this thread.

Yeah Blackmill is, to my knowledge, the most known Chillstep producer.
I mostly listen to Jazz Hip Hop such as Nujabes who is pretty well known within the genre.
Here's a song he did: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYsk3s7srog[/media]

The vocals ruin it for me personally :( I like the background music. But that's just my opinion, so don't worry :v:
