BBTCOR (Bring Back The Chill Out Room) is a n artistic and curatorial platform that revives and reimagines the culture of the 1990s chill-out room within contemporary spaces.

Rather than focusing on the dance floor, BBTCOR explores the spaces of rest, reflecti on, intimacy, and listening that historically existed alongside club cultu re. Through events, radio broadcasts, scenography, research, and public pr ograms, the project investigates how chill-out rooms functioned as environ ments for recovery, connection, experimentation, and alternative ways of e xperiencing music.

At its core, BBTCOR asks how these spaces can be reinterpreted today through a critical and inclusive lens. The project com bines musical programming (ambient, downtempo, dub, IDM, psychedelic and e xperimental sounds) with archival research, storytelling, and artistic int erventions
