VIP Club Dance

The Orb virtually invented the electronic genre known as ambient house, resurrecting slower, more soulful rhythms and providing a soundtrack for early-morning ravers once the clubs closed their doors. Now they invite you to sample their “Art Of Chill”, a 2 CD set that welcomes aficionados of downtempo, and encompasses the influential records both old and new that define the genre. Pioneers like Eno and Bowie sit comfortably alongside brilliant, future classics from the likes of Gas and Husky Rescue. Most of all this selection will make you listen in a different way �” through the eyes of the masters of the genre.

“The tunes on this CD need no introduction, just two ears & a human with a love for the chilled things in life, here is Art Of Chill 4! Crack open a chilled Guinness & think on …” - Alex Paterson/The Orb

Alex Paterson has been a leading light and pioneer in the art of chill. Whether it’s his outstanding contributions to The Orb, his exceptional skills as a roadie to Killing Joke, his legendary DJ sets, or collaborations with Steve Hillage as System 7, Alex Paterson and The Orb have created the perfect crash pad for many a generation of worn out club kids, and a perfect place to escape for their peers. From the surreal to the outlandish - all calibrated through The Orb’s uncompromising filter - plucking current gems from the obscure, and rekindling some pearls from the past this collection is all cerebral stuff. It’s a personal invite to his audio gallery and to see the world through his ears �” for an hour or 2 at least.
