Capital Chill Radio

Capital Chill plays chilled house, deep house and ambient dance music. The station launched on 13 February 2023, adding a quieter electronic service to the Capital family. Its sound is built around beats and atmosphere, with a more restrained approach than the high-energy dance records associated with a peak-time club programme.

Groove Armada, Chicane, Röyksopp, Massive Attack, Moby and Bonobo were among the artists highlighted at launch. The combination gives the station room for recognisable electronic recordings as well as more atmospheric productions. Vocals can be part of the mix, but the musical identity also depends on instrumental texture, repeating rhythmic patterns and the space around a melody.

Its published music history includes Loyal by Theo Kottis, Just to Hear You Say by Tinlicker and the Moojo remix of Swedish House Mafia's Heaven Takes You Home. These examples show that the repertoire extends beyond older chill-out favourites. Contemporary electronic producers and remixed songs share the programme with established names, linking melodic house to the station's wider chilled-dance brief.

The schedule uses music-led blocks such as Wake Up with Capital Chill, Capital Chill Mornings and Late Night Chilled Beats. Weekend afternoon programming retains the same mix of chilled house, deep house and ambient dance rather than moving into a general pop format. Operated by Global and available through Global Player and digital radio in its coverage areas, Capital Chill makes this softer electronic sound its full-time subject. The emphasis on dance production gives it a different character from a relaxing station built primarily around acoustic songs or pop ballads.
