Chill Out Review: Jody Wisternoff - Welcome To My World (Chill mixes) out on Anjunachill

 


After releasing his acclaimed studio album 'Welcome To My World' in December, Bristol dance music legend Jody Wisternoff returns with a fresh perspective - this time, slowing things down.




Drawing on his long-standing love for downtempo and ambient music, Jody reinterprets the album’s tracks into chilled versions that highlight the originals’ melodic and emotive elements. Infused with lush pads, broken beats, and atmospheric textures, the Chill Mixes offer an introspective take on the album, showcasing Jody’s signature musicality in a different form.
“When I was mixing the original album, I’d sometimes mute the drum groups and be surprised at how full the tracks still sounded without the beats. I’ve always had a deep love for chill-out and ambient music - from the early Café del Mar compilations through to The Orb, KLF, Future Sound of London, and Nick Warren’s classic 'Back to Mine'. Those sounds were hugely influential in the ’90s, both as immersive post-clubbing soundtracks and as timeless listening experiences. So when the guys announced Anjunachill, it felt like the perfect opportunity to revisit the album and reimagine it in that spirit - rearranging, adding, stripping back, even playing with tempo - to create a more relaxing version while staying true to its core essence. I really hope you enjoy the listening experience as much as I enjoyed making it.”

“’Welcome to My World’ is an open invitation to step into my musical universe, gradually shaped over the 35 years I’ve spent in the game. For personal reasons, it also serves as a sonic timestamp - something I can look back on when I reach my twilight years.

While I was writing it, I felt the melodic elements in the tracks really stood out on their own. When Anjuna announced the chill label subsidiary, the idea for this companion release was cemented in my mind. I selected eight tracks that I felt best lent themselves to this format and got to work.” - Jody Wisternoff
Released in December, 'Welcome To My World' has amassed over 5 million streams and earned support from Gorgon City, Super Flu, Eelke Kleijn, Nick Warren, and Tim Green. The album also gained global recognition at radio, including on SiriusXM Chill, and reached the top 5 on Beatport's Dance, Breaks, Electronica, and Organic House charts.

[item value="10"]Jody Wisternoff - Welcome To My World (Chill mixes)[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Jody Wisternoff’s Welcome to My World: The Chill Mixes is a masterclass in atmospheric electronic music, offering a blissful escape for anyone who values immersive chill-out experiences. Known for his work with Way Out West and his deep house productions, Wisternoff here crafts a sonic journey that is both intimate and expansive. The album opens with “Ease Yourself (Chill Mix)”, featuring RYTERBAND, which immediately sets a tranquil tone with soft vocals and soothing rhythms. “Otherworld (Chill Mix)”, in collaboration with Nox Vahn, leans into ethereal textures, creating a feeling of drifting through a dreamscape. Tracks like “Another Moonlight” and “A Warm Glow”, both featuring bailey, are lush and emotive, wrapping listeners in warm, downtempo layers that feel almost cinematic. Instrumental highlights like “Fallen Tears (Chill Mix)” and “Sweetest Thing (Chill Mix)” showcase Wisternoff’s talent for blending melodic progression with delicate sound design, while “The Sky Below (Chill Mix)”, featuring ALLKNIGHT, adds a gentle vocal lift that enhances its weightless quality. Closing with “Tales From Beyond (Chill Mix)”, alongside Nox Vahn and Natascha Polké, the album ends on a note that is both mysterious and serene, leaving an afterglow of reflective calm. What makes this album essential for chill-out music fans is its perfect balance of emotional depth and sonic tranquility. Wisternoff’s ability to transform his progressive sensibilities into laid-back, meditative compositions sets this collection apart. It’s equally suited for late-night listening, introspection, or creating a peaceful ambiance, making it a standout in the chill-out genre. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
