Chillout, or rather, its first steps on the planet began back in the nineteenth century. Initially they were only experimental sketches and samples of such famous composers as Claude Debussy and Eric Satie. The two musical innovators were friends and one-thinkers, and they diluted their loose views and academic compositions with various variations. Tonal, relaxing music has become one of the calling cards of these musicians.

In the twentieth century, the chillout style became a separate trend. It was often identified with the lounge, by and large these two trends are synonymous. As a rule, calm, relaxing melody sounded in bars and restaurants that promoted Retro, Futuristic Ambience. The club movement had not yet imbibed this style, although a new round in the development of this style was not far off.

In the 1990s, a new musical style begins its rebirth, it bears the old name of chillout. It becomes not just a musical style, but a kind of way of life and thinking. The creator of the renewed chillout is called music critic, producer and radio host Chris Koko. His works formed the basis for the formation of the new trend. They were characterized by an unhurried rhythm, quiet vocals, electric notes, and a constantly repeating main melody.

Nowadays this style exists in two forms – original and electronic. Original chillout is instrumental music dominated by guitar and keyboards and is extremely rare. Electronic chillout – a soft melody without a pronounced beat. The main part sounds unobtrusive and long. The main feature is the fragments of phrases, the effects of a broken record, the sounds of old movies. In a narrow sense, a chillout is an area to relax in a nightclub or on a dance floor. Some large parties equip special lounge areas, which play calm music with low speed and muffled soul. Under it there is no desire to dance, you want to relax.
