Chillum Trio started out as a collective of like minded musicians in 2002, however, after releasing an album together (which was supported by the likes of Laurent Garnier) the project slowly became the solo act of founding recording producer, Geza Szekeres. At that time he discovered West-African music, latin jazz and the universe of soul and funk, these new directions have been shaping his musical evolution eversince. In 2014 he turned out as one of the winners of Gilles Peterson’s Havana Cultura remix contest that gave him the opportunity to travel to Havana and record music with the creme of the Cuban jazz scene. One of his songs recorded in this session got released on Brownswood Recordings compilations Havana Cultura Mix and Havana Cultura Anthology. Budabeats Records is more than proud to release Chillum Trio’s first ever 12” single called Cosmotropica with two dancefloor friendly tracks mixing broken afro-house with tropical and cosmic influences.

The ultimate guide to the songs by Chillum Trio himself:

Eyes Closed Ears Open feat. Annamaria Ligosztajeva (8:34’): After a smooth, moody lift-off, fasten your seat belts ladies and gents! Our starship hits light-speed with pulsating analogue rhythms to the space kitchen, where warm vocals and heavy disco breaks are what's cooking.

Palmdrop (11:22’): As rainfall stops in the tropical forest, uplifting afro grooves dry the ground. Creatures of the jungle dance to the deep tribal percussion, as trippy synth sounds and subtly hypnotic beats deliver transcendental joy.
