chillout
Take it easy
Chillout describes music, spaces, or activities designed for relaxation after intense stimulation—especially the ambient electronic music played in club lounges where dancers recover between sessions on the floor.
A chillout room, chillout zone, or chillout playlist offers calm respite: We found a chillout area away from the main stage.
As a verb phrase, chill out means to relax or calm down.
