Professor Chill is a longstanding fixture of the chill out scene, with a mixed background as both an electronic music producer and a qualified sound scientist. Unlike the colourific professors Green and Plum, Professor Chill was awarded his very real title as a result of his academic career, having studied with composers such as Gavin Bryars and Katharine Norman, gaining the first ever PhD for writing any kind of popular music. At the same time as his intellectual studies, he has written, released and performed electronica; his last album Dub Archaeology was released in 2018 on Twin Records and he has performed live at European music festivals such as Glastonbury, Boom, Anthropos, Schiev, Samsara, Utiopia, and CTM. His influences are very broad, but there's something of Leftfield, Eno, Groove Armada, John Cage, and Deep Forest in there, generating an uplifting mixture of gentle groove and tuneful tranquillity.
