Kalumet's first Chill-out show is starting this week, Monday evening 8pm CET on the Chill channel. The two hours long ambient podcast inherited its name from the regular Sunday club night Kalumet hosted a few years ago in Budapest and aims to follow the footsteps.
The Kalumet project started out as progressive psy-trance back around the Millenium but have slowly evolved into something more complex, nowadays even bordering with the so called forest trance or darkpsy, while Kalumet is constantly making downtempo music under the same name as well. It's safe to say that Zoltan Vajda is the man of many alter-egos, as he's not only making chill-out and psy-trance but - among others - he sometimes calls himself Trevor McGregor as well, releasing psychedelic, minimalistic techno tracks at Horns&Hoofs Records. His latest chill-out EP "Dimensional Music Technology" came out on Visionary Mind Records and is a fusion of experimental electronica spiced up with live instruments, such as the guitar sounds Kalumet played and recorded himself. The music guides you deep into the abstract and trippy world of Kalumet: it's weird but very meditative. As the artist himself likes to call it, this is hardcore lounge.
The first edition of CHILLUM NIGHTS features Kalumet's own favorite psychedelic chill-out tunes with lots of familiar names from the last Ozora Festival such as Gayan Uttejak Orchestra or Beats Antique who both gave unforgettable concerts on the Dragon Nest stage in Magic Garden this year. Master Margherita, Suns of Arqa and Capsula also involved: this incense scented two hours mix will teleport you back to Ozora for a little while.
Chillum Nights will be a regular show here on radiOzora in the future with the intent to showcase the work of Kalumet's downtempo project as well as present you the finest selection of psychedelic ambient, dub, trip-hop and fusion downbeat electronica from time to time. Tune in!
