Chill Out Music Download Sites Feature Many Options

By Gabrielle Lambert


The internet is full of chill out music download sites. What many people do not know is where it comes from and how it got its name. Originally from nightclubs, this form has a very interesting source of origin.

Those who go to clubs can attest to the tiresome aspect of the ongoing clatter and crash of the rhythm. The constant beat is part of the appeal and after a time, a bit of a turn off. Owners of nightclubs created chill out rooms, a place where quieter sounds were played that also had big, fluffy places to get comfortable.

Chill out music can include, but is not limited to Ambient, Deep House, Environmental, Lounge, Soft Electronica and Soft Techno. These are only a sampling of the styles. It can go by many names. But using the words chill out will certainly bring up exactly what is being described here.

Maybe the oldest form in this group is Ambient. From the electronic artists of the early 1970s to the cerebral and environmental sounds of now, this style of music has a long history. The origins of it come from early Twentieth century artistic movements.

Another form from the past is Lounge. Based on the mellow lounge tracks put down on vinyl in the 50s and 60s, it has an easy beat and gentle rhythms. It is also updated with the addition of electronic sounds.

DJs create mixes for download. Some of those downloads are free, some cost money. But there are sites dedicated specifically to or containing channels that feature chill out music download capability. Many sites allow streaming and have an application that will allow the listener to listen directly to the individual cuts without having to download.

Called streaming music, this can be played either on an application that runs on the computer desktop or within the website itself. The application can be downloaded and run, whereas the website version is usually just a button to click and listen. In either case, everything is at the listener's fingertips.

Many of the sites have a subscription function where listeners can log in and select tunes they like and then get notices when the DJ or particularly artist puts out a new mix or a new release. There are places to enter a list of recordings owned by a listener to be compared with other fans. There are also sites that create a program for the listener based on past selections.

Chill out music is so versatile. Used as a comfortable backdrop in so many locations, like hair salons or art galleries, it is also fitting in nightclub or restaurant, or even in a retail store. Variations can be had. One can select for more beat and rhythm, or for softer, quieter songs that lay in the background in a quiet art gallery or intimate supper club.

Be sure to use the appropriate phrase when searching for chill out music download sites. There are many to choose from and there is most certainly going to be one to fit the need or taste in questions. A wise listener will avail his or herself of all the many options available for download, streaming and listening. Sit back, enjoy the mood and get into the groove.
