The Big Chill Goa is a two day festival combining music, art, and relaxation to create a paradise on the shores of the Arabian Sea, taking place on April 14th and 15th, 2007.

Three music performance areas will host the best dance and chill-out live performers and DJs from The Big Chill's family of artists, introducing an Indian audience to the leftfield festival experience Big Chillers in the UK have been enjoying for over a decade.

This is the first time the unique blend of cutting-edge and traditional music, art, relaxation, blissful days and fun-filled nights is going to India, and it promises to be a very special event.

The Big Chill has been a feature of the UK festival scene since the mid-1990s, and has produced events worldwide in, amongst others, Australia, Egypt and Greece.

Making a difference
In keeping with The Big Chill's commitment to social responsibility, a significant percentage of the The Big Chill's profits from this venture will be donated to the Matoshri Health Trust - an NGO working with on projects for AIDS/HIV infected and affected children in India.


Say No To Drugs - The taking, procurement or distribution of drugs will not be tolerated at this event.

The event is not a camping festival, so please ensure you arrange for accomodation during your stay. Goa offers all kinds of accomodation, from luxurious hotels to basic beach huts, with everything in between.

LINEUP

Coldcut
From cut-up remixing to live visual mixing, Coldcut first exploded onto the cutting edge of dance music in the 80s, and they are still there. 2006's 'Sound Mirrors' album - including collaborations with Roots Manuva and Robert Owens, proved that they continue to innovate. Their live show is an audio visual extravaganza that has circled the world several times over the last 12 months - including a spectacular set at The Big Chill 2006.

Norman Jay
Uniquely among DJs, Norman Jay has been honoured by Queen Elizabeth II with an MBE - in recognition of his service to music in the UK. At The Big Chill's festival at Eastnor, Norman's Sunday afternoon set, is a traditional highlight of the weekend - with soul, hip hop, house, drum and bass fusing to bring Good Times.

Jose Padilla
A familiar name everywhere, Jose Padilla has exported his beautiful, mellow Cafe del Mar sound all over the world - through hugely popular compilation albums and with DJ appearances worldwide.
http://www.josepadilla.info


The Bays
The Bays do not record. The Bays do not rehearse. What The Bays do is play brilliantly improvised dance music live. Performance is the product. Taking the rhythms of hip hop, house music and drum and bass as their starting point, these four musicians create a continous soundscape, telepathically changing the mood at the flick of a beat. The Bays have stunned festival and concert goers worldwide, creating music completely of the moment and collecting fans through shows throughout the UK and worldwide.

Hexstatic
When DJs mix videos instead of records, it's feast for the eyes, the ears and the dancing feet. Hexstatic collide classic videos with beats from right now, making switched on audiences dance to Abba, the sound of trees being chopped down, or whatever other ammunition they decide to load into their dancefloor-aimed audio-visual missiles.

Tom Middleton
Jedi Knight Tom Middleton's productions as Global Communications and Amba have enchanted chill-out audiences all over the world, while his DJ sets range from blissed out beauty, through cheeky cover versions to dancefloor-shaking beats.

Sheila Chandra
As a teenager Sheila formed the band Monsoon, and created a fusion of Western (synthpop) and Indian pop styles. Chandra went on to release a number of albums in the 1980s, at times experimenting with her voice as an instrument through a range of techniques. In the 1990s she released three albums on Peter Gabriel's Real World label. Since 1992 she has shifted from the Indian-Western fusion of synthesizer-centered pop to styles that draw on British and Irish traditional singing traditions. A much-respected performer on the world music scene and remains active into the 21st Century, performing the song 'Breath Of Life' on the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers soundtrack.

Shri
Bombay bred Shri (Shrikanth Sriram), of Badmarsh and Shri fame, has been a main light in the UK Asian Music Scene since it first came to prominence in the early 1990’s. Shri trained as a classical tabla player, from a very early age. He turned tradition on its head by adapting his innovative feel for percussion to other instruments notably his self-made fretless bass and the Indian bamboo flute. Using his Tabla techniques he quickly developed a totally unique style of slapping and coercing the most haunting and funky sounds from a bass that combined the visual gravitas of a sitar with the reverberant voice of the bowed Indian Sarangi, establishing a reputation as a unique multi-instrumentalist and performer. His curiosity and constant search for something new and interesting has led his career and experiences to be extremely diverse. These are absorbed in his compositions, rolling drum and bass, sublime filmic trances and funky grooves, which travel the length and breadth of deepest India to deepest South London. Truly new music.

Mad Professor
Deep and heavy dubbed out sounds are the Mad Professor's trademark. Perhaps best known for the Massive Attack remix project 'No Protection', Mad Professor picked up the baton from Jamaican studio legends like Lee Perry and King Tubby, working the mixer and effects as a musical instrument.

Chilled By Nature
Pete Lawrence's Chilled by Nature project is the fruit of ten years work, bringing together some of the UK's best musicians to create 2006's dream-like album 'Under One Sun'. With songs conceived and created in London, Egypt and the Greek Islands, the Big Chill's founder fuses the many elements at the core of The Big Chill into a blissed-out sunshine sound, both in the studio and on stage.

Ben Mynott
Ex-Fragile Stater and a leading light on the UK chill out scene, Ben's radio shows, journalism and compilations all show him to be one of the leading purveyors of enchanting, mellow music. Ben himself describes his sound as "just. beatiful. music." - and he's right!

Eva Abraham
Big Chill Recording's Eva Abraham has the voice of an angel and songs that come from the heart. Simple, acoustic arrangements convey her heartfelt lyrics - anyone who sees her perform falls in love with the songs and the performer.

Lol Hammond
Lovely Lol Hammond knows how to move different parts of audience's bodies, their feet with dancefloor-targeted DJ sets, and their hearts with beatiful solo piano performances - Lol has been with The Big Chill since the very earliest of times, and recently has established himself in the British film industry as music supervisor on some of the UK's most successful films. He is - to use his own, favourite word - a 'corker'.
Lol Hammond Biography


Jon Hopkins
Jon Hopkins is on the ascendant. His productions have made some of the biggest names in the music industry sit up and listen, and his live performances have been a tour de force at The Big Chill's London venues. Uplifting and cinematic, with soaring melodies and a sound that touches everyone who hears it.

In addition to bringing the best of French music to London at the paris-london.org events, Laura is a respected producer and live performer in her own right - working on many of The Big Chill's releases, and performing at the festival, and releasing music both solo and in collaboration with others.

Alucidnation
Bruce 'Alucidnation' Bickerton is Big Chill Recording's laconic troubadour. Often performing sitting down at his laptop, he not only creates luscious, ambient and electronic soundscapes - he sings songs from the heart, often amidst AV performances accompanied by personal photographs from his life.

Burt Latino and Mavis
Burt's DJ sets travel the world, picking up music for dancing from every country you can imagine. Vibrant and full of life, the music is accompanied by imagery created and collated by Mavis to create an immersive journey around the world without leaving the dancefloor.

continuation of the lienup details....


Pathaan
Pathaan is one of the very few UK based DJ’s to have truly crossed the dance/world divide. Whereas many other world music DJ’s lean nearer to the roots market, Pathaan’s history is steeped in dance culture - a stance that is reflected in his popular ‘left-field’ reviews for DJ Magazine, and his numerous appearances in London, Ibiza, Italy, Madrid, Barcelona, Brazil, Istanbul, New York and many far away spots. Most interesting to lovers of the Asian Underground sound has been his unique and highly absorbing Stoned Asia Music series of compilations, which reflect a personal passion for global chill-out with a sitar twist. Also a growing musical diversity had led to the release of ‘Pathaan’s Small World’; a moniker showcasing the open-minded attitude of his club nights combined with an obsession for seeking out the very latest global platters.
www.pathaan.com

DJ Yam
Brighton's DJ Yam explores afrocentric music, blending the sounds of the continent into a dancefloor friendly mix. As he says of the music he plays 'you can bend your knees to it'!
More about DJ Yam

Biggabush
Glyn "Bigga" Bush of Rockers Hi Fi fame has remixed the likes of Ennio Morricone, Tosca, Ella Fitzgerald and Suba from his studio in the depths of rural England. Go grab an extra large portion of funky Latin percussion, massive bass lines and deep melodies.
www.biggabush.co.uk

Mr Tom
Fluidnation resident and full-time Big Chiller, Mr Tom's sonic adventures with Haven4's legendary parties in London combined a deep knowledge of beautifully warm music, with a genuine sense of fun.


Comperes:

AJ
In his chapter in The Big Chill's book 'Crossfade' AJ says "The early eighties scene started to make it possible to live with an increasingly eclectic record collection. It set scores of people off on audio discovery trips. It opened the sound gates to a whole new world. Music was no longer regimented into pop, rock and disco." Deep involvement with the UK music scene, and a regular fixture at Big Chill events - AJ enthusiasm and knowledge shine through as he hosts stages.
AJ at bigchill.net

Nettie
Originally from Denmark, but now based in London, Nettie's regular compering session at The Big Chill's Castle stage sees a genuine love for the music blended with brilliant comedy moments to ensure everyone has a brilliant time. Nettie's a great DJ in her own right too - best known for the Daft Pink parties in London.

Here's a short interview with Pete Lawrence...... talks about taking The Big Chill to Goa prolly around the mid month of december taken from the website....

The Big Chill in Goa - how did that come about?
I had an approach a year ago from someone based in India who really wanted to work with me and The Big Chill. It was obvious that she was serious from the start as she flew me out there a few weeks later to look at possible locations and to talk business.



Why Goa? Why now?
Goa is a beautiful part of India, still very unspoilt in the main, and the authorities there have an interesting and quite progressive angle on how they'd like to see things move on from the years of trance parties. This seems to fit well with our own ideas, and the promoters too, who see a great opportunity at this point in time to establish The Big Chill, which they felt was right for the times in an India that is transforming and growing rapidly.



Where exactly is the festival due to take place? What's the local area like?
It's on Aswem Beach, Morjim, in the north of Goa, around 50km from the main Goa airport at Dabolim. This was the most natural and unspoilt beach that I saw while I was there and we seem to have good support from the local community too. Nearby is well known for turtle nesting - up to a dozen or more Olive Ridley turtles nest here helped by a group of volunteers who guard the nests and help the hatchlings get into the sea. We would be aiming to donate to the Olive Ridley Trust. Morjim is easily reached by boat too from central Goa, so the plan for everyone to arrive by boat seemed quite appealing, from both an aesthetic and a security angle.



Is it a camping festival? If not, what's the local accommodation like?
It is not a camping festival. Local accommodation is plentiful and varied, ranging from budget hotels, through mid price resorts and cottages to high end 5 star hotels and people would come and go each day.



What's the local food like?
Absolutely delicious and great value. The Goan fish curries are a particular speciality, but I was also surprised how many types of international cuisine are available beyond curry.



What's the weather like there in April?
I was there last February and it was very warm and sunny every day. The sea was the warmest one I've ever been in.



How much entertainment will there be? How many stages/tents?
There will be one main live stage, and two smaller bar sound systems, one more DJ based and the other with a small live / performance stage, starting early afternoon and going through til midnight on Saturday and Sunday. The event will be for 5000 people.



What are your thoughts about the programming of it? Will there be any indigenous music? 'Classic' Big Chill acts? New stuff? Any names you can confirm already?
It will be a mixture of classic Big Chill names, with some Indian performances in there too. We hope to be able to announce the line-up before Christmas.



Who do you think will come? Will it be accessible to the local population and local tourists, or do you think the audience will all go from the UK/Europe specifically for the event?
The Indian promoters are looking to get a sizeable proportion from the main Indian cities, especially Bombay and Delhi, as well as Goans, tourists from all over the world who may be over there and Big Chillers too.


I want to close my eyes and imagine I'm there. What CD should I put on while I do this and why?
Nitin Sawhney's 'Sunset' is probably an appropriate track and it's on our latest compilation.


It's a long way to go for a two day event - it clearly makes sense to plan a holiday around the festival. What else is there to do in the area?
There's a lot to do, given that arriving there is quite a culture shock and the colours and scenery are in such vivid technicolour, especially given how things look in the UK in February. Goa's easy to get around and there's plenty of variety. People may wish to take an extended break and go to another part of India too, such as Kerala.



What's your favourite music of Indian origin at the moment?
I'm currently enjoying 'Gem Tones', south Indian saxophone supreme by Kalaqimamani Kadri Gopalnath, Ananda Shankar's Greatest Hits and the late Gopal Shankar Misra's album from a few years ago on Real World. I'm also listening to 'Water Down The Ganges' by Prem Joshua.



The last time The Big Chill was involved in something similar were the holidays to the Greek island of Naxos. An event which many describe as life-changing. What's your over-riding memory of Naxos, and do you think the Goa event has the potential to affect the people who go as deeply?
The Naxos events were totally extraordinary in that respect, with the over-riding memory being the intensity of the experience as like-minded (broadly speaking!) people came together in a beautiful location in another country. Certainly, there will be a lot of experiences shared by those who go. The event isn't as long this time, though most people will probably choose to stay around for longer I'd guess, but I have no doubt that many new friendships will come out of it, and more....
