About
Chillum Trio was founded by record producer, designer & creative coder Geza Szekeres in 2002 based in Budapest, Hungary. Chillum’s music mainly draws upon eclectic elements of soul, jazz, afrobeat, bossa, hiphop, triphop, dub, acid, electronica & house.
The vision is to marry spontaneous musicianship with deep, soulful tonality by bringing together the hypnotic elevation of tribal Latin / African / Eastern music while exploiting the quintessence of the dusty sound soul/jazz era in the context of house & club vibes.
