Chillits ambient music festival, 1999, Willits California. 3:30-5:00 AM timeslot. Three turntables, two CDJs, and effects processing. Set was not pre-composed but rather created by pulling CDs and vinyl out to fit the mood of the moment.

DJcaliban - Chillits - 1999

A few months ago I had the very real pleasure to play a morning set for Chiilits 2023. Been meaning to post this for a while, but you know, life and all that. I was sitting listening to it with my sister and she was like, what am I waiting for? Anyway, this leans pretty dark for a morning set, as there are tendrils from the night before, following up dear friends with darker sets. Just where my headspace was at. It was incredibly special to spend that weekend with so many generous hearts and ears. Love to my camp crew, new friends, and especially to the Chillits committee for the opportunity. <3 

(Best listened to with headphones, speakers around you)

Chillits 2023 Morning Mix

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.

Richard Haig is a San Francisco-based electronic musician who primarily focuses on a dark dance floor foundation with a sinister songwriting sheen. His recent output is club-oriented in form but excels on a stage with energetic performances featuring live vocals and occasional instrumental guests. Fans of Hot Chip, Nine Inch Nails, Maceo Plex, Röyksopp, Radiohead, and Depeche Mode would feel right at home with his output. He is equally comfortable as a performative front man on a festival stage as he is being elusively tucked away in an underground DJ booth.

Having previously released under the name Panic Bomber, Richard Haig is a Scottish-born expat who originally developed his sound in Miami. There he played in multiple touring bands and honed his DJ chops during the annual Winter Music Conference festivals. He stepped away from releasing albums for a few years and returned with a new sound in 2020 with multiple self-released albums under his own Art Heist Records label.

Richard’s previous releases include music on the UK’s Anjunadeep Records, John Digweed’s Bedrock Records, and the Canadian YYZ Records. He has composed for and performed with the New World Symphony Orchestra in 2014 and 2015. Richard has licensed music for Michael Kors and Volkswagen, and was included on an official TRAX Magazine CD (France’s biggest electronic music publication). He has ghost-produced Hype Machine Top 10 remixes of Kanye West, Metronomy, and Phantogram. As a live performer he has played alongside Skream, Skrillex, The Juan Maclean, and MGMT and appeared at festivals such as EDC, Ultra, SXSW, Electric Forest, Hudson Project, Sunfest, Pride Toronto, as well as performing on the Yo Gabba Gabba and La Roux live tours. As a DJ, he was previously a resident and partner of the Slap & Tickle Miami collective and has spun alongside Disclosure, Duke Dumont, Chus & Ceballos, Kaytranada, John Talabot, Detroit Swindle, XXXY, Aeroplane, Jackmaster, Moonboots, Jonas Rathsman, Kaskade, and Ke$ha.
