Chillum Trio started as a collective of like-minded musicians in 2002, however, after releasing an album together (and 2 tracks were released on a compilation of Laurent Garnier) the project slowly became the solo act of founding recording producer, Geza Szekeres. At that time he discovered West-African music, Latin-jazz and the universe of soul and funk, these new directions have been shaping his musical evolution ever since.

In 2014 he turned out as one of the winners of Gilles Peterson’s Havana Cultura remix contest that allowed him to travel to Havana and record music with the creme of the Cuban jazz scene. One of his songs recorded in this session got released on Brownswood Recordings compilations Havana Cultura Mix and Havana Cultura Anthology.

After playing In 2017 Budabeats Records released Chillum Trio’s first 12” single called Cosmotropica with two dancefloor-friendly tracks mixing broken afro-house with tropical and cosmic influences. As a continuation of an organic friendship, Budabeats has released its 10 years anthology comp, including Chillum's acid-disco joint called Taïm. Among several festivals & live shows, another Budabeats single published in 2018 with an afro-house remix bomb of Ebo Taylor's Odofo Nyi Akyiri Biara.
