Live from Mykonos — editorial chillout radio for the hour the wind softens, the sea turns copper, and the day finally lets go. Sundowner sessions: deep house, Balearic chillout, and the slow Cycladic evening. Tune in once. You won't quite stop.
Deep house, melodic techno, atmospheric drift — the hours when the bass commits and the evening starts to move. One-off nights and recurring residencies, in Aegean time.
Balearic, ambient, downtempo, sundowner — the slow hours, programmed for when the room softens and the day quietly puts itself down.
Seven days, seven moods, one continuous broadcast. The week at Chillout Radio Mykonos is programmed in editorial dayparts — each carrying its own tempo and its own register. Featured residencies appear inside the days that suit them.
A slow opening to the week. Organic house, Balearic warm-ups, ambient currents — the long return after the weekend.
Downtempo and deep house at half-speed. Tuesday's low-pulse hour for a desk that doesn't mind a longer breath.
A long midweek pause. Pure ambient, minimalism, drone — the slowest tempo we run, by design.
Soundtracks, library music, occasional Italo-disco at evening tempo. The Thursday ear is patient and slightly cinematic.
The weekend opens in two acts — futuristic edge first, editorial heart after. The night the wind softens and the bass gets selective.
The deep-listening day. Anjunadeep sundowner at seven, bi-weekly Ibiza Groove follows at eight, the room of its own at ten — gradients across the evening.
Lifelong chillout. Sundowner at eight, closing meditation at ten — the slowest tempo of the week, by design.
Five names that recur in our schedule — through licensed shows, guest sets, and the occasional long evening. Between them: a former DJ Mag editor and BBC Radio 1 co-host, a Café del Mar veteran with a 22-million-download podcast, a Dutch label founder with a global event series, signals from Sardinia, and thirty-plus years of decks from Uruguay-Ibiza. Brief notes on what each one does, and why we keep coming back.
Eelke Kleijn is a Dutch DJ, producer, and composer twenty years deep into the music. He founded DAYS like NIGHTS — the label and the weekly radio show — in 2017 as a platform for his own work and for the artists he wanted to bring along. The radio side now sits past 440 episodes, premiered on Slam!FM Amsterdam and Sirius XM in the United States, and runs syndicated worldwide on top of the podcast. The label's remit: organic, forward-thinking melodic electronic, with exclusive sets from new and established talents.
Beyond broadcast, the show has grown into a global event series — New York, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Melbourne, Toronto. His Mykonos appearances arrive when the evening is ready to commit (mixcloud.com/eelkekleijn).
DAYS like NIGHTS · Saturday 22:00 weekly · dayslikenights.comChristopher Mellor — known to listeners as Chris Coco — is a British DJ, producer, broadcaster, and music journalist. He edited DJ Mag through the nineties, co-hosted the BBC Radio 1 institution The Blue Room, held a long residency at The Zap in Brighton, and played Space Ibiza, KuDeTa Bali, Glastonbury, and Bestival. Records on Warp and Distinctive; compilations for Playboy, Ministry of Sound, EMI Classical, and Trojan; his own label, Melodica Recordings.
Since 2009, Melodica has run weekly — a slow walk from mellow Balearic to the deepest house via electronica and oddities. Twice winner of Best Online Radio Show at the International Radio Festival (2011, 2013); The Guardian once called it “the hazy, lazy sound of the summer” (mixcloud.com/chriscoco; instagram.com/djchriscoco).
Melodica · Friday 22:00 weekly · chriscoco.comTim Angrave is a chillout specialist with deep Ibiza credentials — sunset residencies at Café del Mar and La Torre, releases on Lemongrassmusic, Numen Records (the Mozez/Zero 7 imprint), Stripped Recordings, and Fenestra. The Chillout Lounge Mix now sits at 145+ episodes, 22+ million downloads, #1 in 40+ countries on the Apple Podcasts Music Charts, and a 4.9/5 listener rating. His current full-length record Dreams with Mozez (Numen) and the track Ethereal — picked up by Hernan Cattaneo — extend the practice into the studio.
The show itself never raises its voice. Each episode is one continuous breath — ambient, downtempo, deep house, electronica. A ritual disguised as a podcast (linktr.ee/timangrave).
The Chillout Lounge Mix · First Sunday monthly · 20:00 · thechilloutloungemix.comMax Saba — Sardinia-based, regularly guest-mixing on ODH Radio and a constant on Lounge Radio Ibiza — sends signals from somewhere a little ahead of where the rest of us are standing. DeepMachine Radio is his two-hour broadcast into that thin air: atmospheric techno, ambient drones, beats that arrive like a city seen from a long way off.
It's electronic music for people who like the future to feel humid, not sterile. Established names sit beside artists nobody has named yet — two hours at the edge of the dial, and the dial keeps moving (instagram.com/max_saba).
DeepMachine Radio · Friday 20:00 weekly · 2hGabriel Marchisio has been at the decks since 1994 — long enough to stop performing and start conversing. The Uruguayan-Ibizan DJ runs Ibiza Groove Vibes through deep house, organic, progressive, and the slow tribal pulse of an evening that hasn't decided yet how late it wants to go. The session archive on SoundCloud reaches back years; the rotation continues bi-weekly through 2026.
Soulful is the easy word. The truer one is patient. Each set is built like a room you're allowed to sit in for as long as you like — Mediterranean by feel, global by accident (gabrielmarchisio.com; instagram.com/gabriel.marchisio).
Ibiza Groove Vibes · Bi-weekly Saturday · 20:00 Aegean · gabrielmarchisio.comChillout Radio Mykonos is editorial sundowner radio — live from the Cyclades, programmed by ear for the slow part of the evening. Deep house at dusk, Balearic chillout, ambient drift, downtempo currents. The hour the wind softens, in continuous broadcast.
The hour the wind softens and the sea turns copper. Deep house and Balearic selections meet ambient currents, programmed for the moment between full daylight and full evening. No DJ chatter, no manufactured urgency — only the sound a Cycladic dusk would choose for itself.
The lineage runs through Ibiza's Café del Mar terraces of the late eighties — sundowner programming as a discipline. Chillout Radio Mykonos carries the same sensibility, played at the slower tempo of the Aegean: less white-island maximalism, more island-evening restraint. Same heritage, different latitude.
This isn't background music. The selections are made by ear, one at a time, by people who know what the next track has to do. Listen the way you'd watch the light fade — slowly, and without explaining itself.
Each set is chosen by human ear, not by playlist metric. No randomized shuffle from a recommender model.
Dawn, midday, sundowner, deep night — each given its own register. Seasonal turns for Meltemi summer and Cycladic winter. Hand-shaped, week by week.
Editorial voice between selections — daypart, show, season — never DJ banter, never manufactured urgency. The half-hour brings a brief ad break, played only where the network has booked your region. The hour stays the hour.
A long-form column on light, restraint, and the philosophy of the Cycladic evening — written slowly, broadcast in mood.
A long-form column on light, restraint, and the philosophy of the Cycladic evening — written slowly, by appointment with the sun. Not a newsletter, not a blog. A sundowner, in writing. Three field guides to the temperament from which this station broadcasts.
Balearic isn't a genre — it's a temperament. The story of a sound named on a terrace in Ibiza in the late 1980s, and the way it has been broadcast, in one form or another, ever since.
A Mykonos sundowner isn't a drink — it's an hour. A field guide to what happens when the Meltemi softens, the Cycladic dusk begins, and the music meets the hour.
Slow listening is a method of attention, not a genre. The deliberate choice to begin a one-hour mix at minute zero and let it run to its end — older than the algorithm it now stands against.
Reader letters arriving with the season's first sundowners. The most considered are published here in the next column — short notes from listeners about what the station sounds like from their side of the Mediterranean.
Chillout Radio Mykonos is not a playlist; it is a temperament. Editorial sundowner programming for the hour the wind softens and the sea turns copper — no DJ chatter, no manufactured urgency. Only the deep house, Balearic chillout, and ambient currents a Cycladic evening would choose for itself.
Listen the way the island listens — slowly, and without explaining itself.
