join us for the fifth edition of chill:in, a one‑of‑a‑kind evening designed to give you a creative escape from the usual nightlife hustle. immerse yourself in ambient, downtempo, folktronica, idm, and glitch sounds, spun by our talented djs and electronic artists, all while diving into hands‑on activities.
this month’s theme is ‘somnambulism’ — aka sleepwalking: a behavior disorder that originates during deep sleep and results in walking or performing other complex actions while still mostly asleep.
contributing to the music side:
8pm – benebe – our chill:in resident dj will be spinning a fully vinyl-only set featuring the weirdest music from the depths of his crate-digging sojourns around the world. expect the unexpected — and then some.
10:30pm – t-coil – aka augustine leudar will be playing a vinyl set featuring bizarre and experimental artists and bands spanning decades — probably going back to the dawn of time.
11:30pm – ravetombs – back by popular demand, this brighton-based artist will perform a live set of all original tracks, including music written specifically for chill:in. expect dark, twisted beats and lush synths.
12:30am – glittcherz – one of our resident acts and the first dj duo couple on the lineup, glittcherz combine high-production beats with a wide range of sonic textures. no two sets are ever the same — prepare for an interdimensional, astronomical journey.
2:30am – day for night – featuring resident kafn and chill:in regular malx, this is the second dj duo couple on the lineup. after a long hiatus, this will be their first public performance in over a decade. expect 15th-century bangers, liminal sounds from around the globe, and some auditory hallucinations.
contributing to the activities on the first level:
church of illusion presents a surround-sound, semi-improvised set and the holomorph — (brainchild of augustine leudar, world-leading authority in spatial sound) which allows users to sculpt and morph sound in 3d space with just their hands.
picture this: raise your hand and the sound soars toward the ceiling. move it in a circle and it gracefully orbits around you. the holomorph uses advanced techniques like time-stretching and granular synthesis, letting users morph sound in real time. for example, pulling your hands apart stretches the sound in time and spreads it spatially across the speaker array.
what to bring?
with the theme being sleepwalking, we encourage folx to bring or wear comfy clothes — pjs, nightwear, or loungewear — to fully immerse themselves in the vibe. there will be plenty of cozy cushions, pillows, and seating thanks to the night café’s event pillowfort from the night before.
what is the night café?
it’s a glitch in the matrix — a late-night café that transports you into another reality, blending cyber and salvage-punk with futuristic ideas and victorian living room aesthetics. once inside, fuel up with tea, coffee, and biscuits while you explore.
as always, chill:in is a byob event, but please respect the space: it’s usually alcohol‑free and all about engaging your creativity, not just getting inebriated. we have a zero‑tolerance policy on harassment. this is an lgbtqia+ friendly space.
