Mister Chill'R Music Bio
Who the heck is this guy?
A short bio of Mister Chill’R… the world’s oldest DJ.
(Portland, OR)
Mister Chill’R is one of down-tempo electronica's most unusual personalities, releasing his debut album "Alien Unfolding" at the age of 68, followed by his sophomore effort, ”Lunar Lounge," which he released at age 70. More recently, Mister Chill’R celebrated a notable licensing contract with a major cable network for his plush and hypnotic song, “Sun and Rain,” off of his second album.
During his downtime (no pun intended), Mister Chill’R has taken up DJing his music at clubs and outdoor festivals in and around his hometown of Portland, Oregon, while making a serious impression on crowds one-half to one-third his age. Any comments on his post-retirement choice of direction are generally answered with his signature mottoes, "It's never too late to have a happy childhood," and "I'll act my age in my next life!" Computer Music Magazine says his music "jumps out of the speakers with a desire to be heard, but is chilled out at the same time."
Mister Chill'R is also a member of a group of stellar musicians including his long-time music partner, Planewalker, and vocalists Holly Nelson and Celeste Goguen. Mister Chill'R is the composer, arranger and co-producer of the songs on Chaos Control's debut New Age/Ambient album, "Elemental Alchemy." During their live performances, Mister Chill'R DJ's his Chaos Control songs while Planewalker plays his monster guitar riffs and sings in his mellow tenor voice while Celeste adds her spectacular operatic soprano voice. What a totally awesome combination!
Now on Waveguild Records six Mister Chill'R "Acid Jazz" songs featuring the brilliant alto sax of S!M (AKA Adam Wayne and "Ethereal Etudes," an Ambient fifteen track Mister Chill'R album. Both are available on CDBaby and Bandcamp. Listen and enjoy!
