The ill chill pill is a music blog based out of Melbourne, Australia, that strives to provide its enlightened listeners with an eclectic, diverse range of quality music to relax to.

Here’s a bit of a context to how it all started:

“In 2005 I made my first ill chill pill mix (when CD burners were really taking off). I spent a long time compiling music that I enjoyed only to discover that others enjoyed the mixes just as much as me. I started sourcing ‘chilled’ music that could be enjoyed by people of all ages, at any time of day, no matter what their mood was.

Now I continue looking for great music to share. When I listen, I listen for music with replay value, that can stand the test of time. Music is most powerful when you can relate to it. So by listening to the music we feature, I hope you enjoy it and it helps to lift your mood, brighten your day, comfort you, inspire you, clear your thoughts and improve your outlook.” - Paul (founder)

The basic concept of the blog is simple. We find and share great music with likeminded people with broad musical tastes. We want to help spread the word about new and/or underrated artists and also give our listeners quality music in the process. It’s a win-win situation.

Music politics isn’t our focus. We do not badmouth artists or criticise their work because we genuinely love the music we feature and we make no apologies for praising them in their accomplishments.

Now to the legal stuff…

All of the download links provided are hosted by third party sources and noone associated with the site is responsible for copyright infringement as we never uploaded them in the first place. If you would like us to remove the link to the mp3 we can do so, but we cannot remove the file itself!

We believe in supporting musicians and we also believe in spreading the word when it comes to good music. If you love music, support the artists - See them perform live, buy their vinyl, etc.

If we have enriched you in any way with a music recommendation, or if you want to get in touch, you can contact us via the Facebook page link. We love receiving recommendations and feedback.

Enjoy.
