The Big Chill Ethos
(taken from bigchill.net)
The Big Chill is
a multimedia festival, bar, club event, record label and lifestyle
dedicated to transforming the spirit of our times.
The Big Chill offers a highly evolved, all-round experience that is
completely unique, with a wide variety of music and performance, art,
dance and film; technology and its relationship with nature; identifying
artists and nurturing their creativity; It is about synergy, energy,
community and fun. The Big Chill does not have a defined ethos, as such,
but Big Chillers have been gradually shaping its feel and flavour over
the years through input and involvement.

Artists (taken

Music is a key
part of our ongoing vision. The Big Chill follows its own musical
instincts, and is seen as a tastemaker. As early as 96, Melody Maker
described the festival line-up as "full of the messiahs of new music",
and many of those messiahs, given early exposure at our events, have now
built substantial followings - notable examples being Zero 7, Gotan
Project, Royksopp, Tom Middleton, Mr Scruff, Lemon Jelly, Fila Brazillia,
Talvin Singh, Bent, Amy Winehouse and Goldfrapp.
Our music policy tends to be anti-genre pigeonholing, as we encourage
our DJs to play broad and varied sets. At a Big Chill event, you can
expect to hear everything from classical to dance music, including folk,
jazz, hip-hop, world music, funk, soul, blues, pop, lounge and ambient.
The Big Chill celebrates creativity in all its forms. It has been at the
sharp end of audio-visual developments since its inception, as well as
incorporating spoken word, dance performance, film and a wide variety of
visual art for the nocturnal Art Trails at our summer events.

DF TRAM @ The Big Chill:
The Big Chill is one of
the best festivals in the world for electronic arts and music, it has a
great atmosphere and an amazing amount of diversity in the music they
program . The amount of quality music you hear there is nothing short
of extraordinary, one minute you could be listening to jimmy cauty or
mixmaster morris the next minute senor coconut or robert fripp. I’ve
never been to a place festival like it. This will be DF Trams 2nd year
playing at the Big Chill.
