matt holland - Chillits 2005

I was blessed to play midday Saturday again. Daytime allows so much freedom, but 90 minutes is too short. This is a rerecording of my set. I changed the order of a few tracks, added four more that I wanted to play but didn't have time for, and let the key ending track breathe for its full 15 minutes.

No tracklist this time at least for now, but happy to ID anything.

Thank you Skiplogic, Gabe Benzur, Tdel and Shawn O'Sullivan for your influences on this mix.

Fun fact: There are nine different languages in this mix, a personal best =)

recording of my set for the bass camp stream March 9 2024

Ended up being mostly Italo at the wrong speed. What can I say I'm old 80bpm feels good.

no tracklist but happy to ID anything. shout out to Shawn O'Sullivan for a few of the edits on here.

20240309 Bass Camp

Streamed May 21 2022 a week after my first and only trip to Florida. I didn't hear any of this music while I was there but I was inspired to make this mix nonetheless. Seems like '85 to '88 were the golden years. Everything on this mix is from Miami except for a few which are at least from elsewhere in Florida.

Halloween Mix 2024

Recorded 6:45PM to 8:30PM at Chillits 2024 September 14

For my 9th Chillits appearance I went a bit more back to my roots with a more eclectic “ambient” approach (rather than the daytime balearic vibes of the previous two years). Initially I had wanted to play later in the dead of night (where it all started) but I ended up getting to soundtrack the transition from day to night and as the sun began to set everything felt absolutely perfect.

A recreation of a mix performed live at Chillits 2009, Saturday Night 3:30-5am.
