StudioChaos - Volume 01
This unique album, StudioChaos Volume 01 - The Butterfly Compilation, is a specially selected and commissioned compilation of distinctive new chill out music tracks, many of which have previously never been released.
Created and complied by Rachel James using new and up and coming artists, StudioChaos was conceived by Peter Campbell as an idea to celebrate Chaos's 10 year anniversary.
Peter worked with established writer and producer Rachel James of Axis Trax to compile the 10 track album. Mixed by Helen Mac (and without whom the whole project could not have happened), this unique compilation has a warm sunshine feel to suit poolside/ beach listening, a chill out indoors on a wet autumn/winter day or even a workout in the gym! Enjoy.
Citi Link, Rachel Ellektra, Skyroom and Avro are all Rachel's own guises / alias's. With a long-established background in the music industry, Rachel has written, produced and remixed for and with various labels and artists such as Sony Music, Neo Records, Fierce Angel, Blue Amazon, X-Press 2, Joyce SIms, Steve Strange/Visage, Sir George Martin, Angie Brown, Grant Nelson, Sterling Void, Andy Leek (Dexy's Midnight Runners), Redanka, Danny Tenaglia and many more. Rachel has also worked in marketing and provided music for several national and international radio and TV commercials.
Placidic Dream is the alias of Manchester-based producer Malc East. Malc is a long-time musician and has been released on a few labels including Axis Trax but now runs his own label Phunky Rabbit. He had his first break as a house music producer on the Axis Trax label with Rachel. Recently he has been also working with Rowetta of Happy Mondays and X Factor fame.
Dream 2 Science is Ben Cenac, a seasoned New York-based musician and producer who started in the early 90's with US Hip Hop act Newcleus (who had a hit with 'Jam On It'). The track My Love Turns to Liquid was originally produced by him in 1990 but following signing to Axis Trax it has been remixed and given a fresh outing this year.
Power Angel is Gigi & Mark's live band. They spend half the year touring all over the world with a pretty good fan base out there. Their music is chilled and very summery all-round. They attracted attention from several labels including Hed Kandi before being snapped up by Axis Trax in 2008.
Spinning since '97, Helen Mac is schooled in vinyl, her career has seen her grace the decks of super clubs Es Paradis & Eden in Ibiza, The Temple in Belgium, & BCM in Magalluf. In her home town she's played everywhere from Ministry of Sound to intimate shin digs on London's famous Portabello Road. Designed by the dance floor, her sets are always perfectly executed with style inside & an enthusiasm that it hard to escape. Believing that traditional music skills and real instruments should remain at the heart of house, beach and chill, Helen has been a big fan of Rachel and the other artists involved with this compilation.
MD, founder and chief enthusiast at Chaos, Peter established the creative agency some 10 years ago. Chaos undertakes branding, advertising, digital and marketing communications for many international blue chip clients. Always keen to take creativity to other areas and having always enjoyed a bit of chill out music amongst his other eclectic musical tastes, Peter conceived the idea to create a 10 track compilation to mark the agency's 10 year anniversary whilst lounging by a pool!
