Making music is a labour of love, making money is a by-product.

In a perfect world we would give all our music away for free and survive on touring revenue, merchandising and licensing income. Alas this is not always possible. In order to eat we have to sell a few CD’s. The good news is that much of our catalog has been released under this creative commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0 We have made many Antiqcool songs free to download for a reason, we want you to sprea… Continue

Thanks for listening!

We had our quarterly audience figures in today for Chill. It's obviously been a difficult quarter for those of you who used to listen on DAB in areas where we came off a few months ago, so we were expecting something of a drop in audience size. But you've surprised us - and I want to say a BIG thank you! Chill's weekly audience has actually gone UP this quarter from 220,000 to 229,000. Now this does include some months of still being on DAB in places where we are no longer on, but I noticed so… Continue

Chill on DAB in London

An update on our DAB coverage in London - as we mentioned on the blog last month, Chill was due to switch transmitters in London. This has just happened today. If we've just dropped off your DAB radio today, all you need to do is autotune. You will probably find this restores several London stations which moved at the same time. Unfortunately, as we mentioned a while ago, our new slot is mono rather than stereo. Most DAB radios only have one speaker, however, so hopefully you won't notice too… Continue

Latest Chill update

Hello, It's been too long since I shared an update with you about how things are going. First, I recognise from the messages still being received how disappointed many people have been with Chill dropping off DAB in many areas. I've responded personally so far to hundreds, if not thousands, and tried to answer any specific questions as well as giving the general answers which I hope can help keeping you chill. The most frequently asked questions and answers are: Q. Why did Chill come off D… Continue

What's been happening, what's next at Chill

It's been an eventful summer! I hope you've found some time to relax - it would be great to see your holiday pics if you have any that can help us chill! I'm just back from a short break, and can see there's a lot to update you on. First, the big news that I'm sorry many of you only found when we dropped off DAB in your area. As you may know, our parent company Global Radio decided to swap Chill for other stations new to DAB in much of the UK. Many people have asked why, and are asking what's g… Continue

I'm gutted that Chill isn't on DAB in Kent any more

My wife bought me a DAB radio as birthday present specifically and only so I could listen to Chill. Then, at Christmas, she bought me a DAB radio for my car for exactly the same reason. Both are now unused. Thanks a million Global Not good. Not good at all. Continue
