Have a laid-back start to the year with the Chillest 100

SBS is kicking off the year in a relaxed fashion, bringing in 2023 by counting down the Chillest 100 songs as voted by listeners. 

From noon on New Year’s Day, the SBS Chillest 100 countdown will bring fan favourites like last year’s featured Flight Facilities, Portishead, Tycho and more.

SBS Chill is a destination for downtempo, electronic, and lo-fi grooves, playing varied artists from around the world, and featuring unsigned DJs, producers and musicians.

“We’re excited to celebrate the new year with our listeners who have voted for their top songs – we’ll be counting down all 100 songs from noon on New Year’s Day,” said Rob Miller, Music Producer of SBS Chill.

SBS Chill’s most played songs were Wishes by Purrple Cat and The Impossible Silence by Eric Hilton. Other listener favourites were Air, Massive Attack and Groove Armada.

The line-up at SBS Chill is curated so everyone from office workers to students, can listen on a loop all day.

“Every year we’ve seen SBS Chill grow and we’ve had amazing feedback from listeners who listen all day while they work or study – teachers have even tuned in to encourage mindfulness in the classroom,” Miller said.

“It’s music that’s very easy to listen to and we’ve heard it’s been 

comforting to people and even pets who feel anxious, especially during COVID isolations.”

The SBS Chill playlist is on Spotify as The Downtempo Chill, which has over 9,300 likes.

SBS Chill will be counting down the Chillest 100 from noon to 8.30pm, New Year’s Day.

Listen to SBS Chill on DAB+ Radio, the SBS Radio App or television on Channel 39 and 306.
