About BBTCOR

Bring Back The Chill Out Room (BBTCOR) is a music and cultural project reimagining the forgotten space of the chill-out room.

Rooted in the 1990s, when chill-out rooms offered an alternative to the intensity of the dance floor, BBTCOR revisits these spaces as places for listening, resting, connecting and being together at a different pace.

Through DJ sets, radio, research, events and spatial interventions, BBTCOR brings together downtempo, ambient, dub, IDM, psychedelic and experimental music with an emphasis on atmosphere, intimacy and collective experience.

Rather than recreating the past, BBTCOR looks at what the chill-out room can mean today, creating spaces where nightlife can slow down, where dancing can coexist with resting, and where people can be alone together.

Bring back the space between dancing and resting.
