The Big Chill The Big Chill is a multimedia festival, club event, record label and lifestyle dedicated to transforming the spirit of our times. Not as hectic as Reading, not as crusty as Glastonbury, and much more intimate, The Big Chill offers its committed community of followers a highly evolved, all-round experience that is completely unique. Whilst the world gets ever faster and more transfixed with novelty, The Big Chill is committed to the organic, the intimate and, above all, the human. The Big Chill's ethos is a fusion of vision and tradition, flair and expertise, harmony and vitality. It is about the cutting-edge of music and performance, art, dance and film; about technology and its relationship with nature; about identifying artists and nurturing their creativity; about synergy, energy and community. We believe that by coming together and creating a synthesis of spirituality and hedonism, The Big Chill is harnessing what many see as the original festival spirit. The idea of trying to relax in an austere arena surrounded by high fences and billboards is not our way. Likewise, The Big Chill is not about getting completely out of it on alcohol or drugs. There's much to be said for the natural high...

Modern Dance A-Z music reviews. The main aim of Modern Dance is, and always has been, to avoid fashions. We mainly review cd albums, with the occasional book and (even rarer) video/dvd, which aren't always associated with music, it depends how the mood takes us! We are open to all styles and genres. We do, however, occasionally get music in that doesn’t appeal to our tastes. So rather than ramble on with rhetoric, trying to justify why we don’t like it, we just won’t review it. A silence is far better than incorrect and/or unjustified criticism.
