Panorama Terrace | House | Aprés Chic @ H12 ART OF LIFE | Carinthia, Austrian Alps | 1700 metres above sea level | Text short
Urban club music is anything but monotonous! Urban club music is fun. Made up of moving rhythms, captivating melodies, and refined sound collages, this groove is pure joy. Real house music brings a smile to everyone’s face. Great house music makes masks and façades unnecessary – just like in the good old days. Good house music is a lifestyle – one that includes everyone, creates connection, and spreads joy. Let’s dance – on the panoramic terrace of Hotel12.
Panorama Terrace | Classics | Aprés Chic @ H12 ART OF LIFE | Carinthia, Austrian Alps | 1700 metres above sea level | Text short
Musically relaxed, we let Sunday wind down. Classic soul sounds, rhythm & blues, funk, and jazz meet modern lounge music. Just gaze into the distance, soak in the panorama, let your thoughts drift. Dream. Talk with friends. Make new ones. Enjoy, unwind, ski, eat, recharge, find peace, and leave stress behind. You are warmly welcome!!!
Panorama Terrace | Jazz House / Nu Jazz | Aprés Chic @ H12 ART OF LIFE | Carinthia, Austrian Alps | 1700 metres above sea level | Text short
The genre is often seen as a successor to acid jazz, as it evolved from similar influences. While acid jazz doesn’t necessarily have to be linked to electronic music, nu jazz is generally considered a branch of electronic music. What both genres share is their catchiness and musical sophistication. However, nu jazz shows significantly more overlap with other styles.
Panorama Terrace | Chill Out Lounge | Aprés Chic @ H12 ART OF LIFE | Carinthia, Austrian Alps | 1700 metres above sea level | Text short
In many discotheques and especially in techno clubs, there are so-called chill-zones in which exhausted dancers can relax, often accompanied by chill-out music, dub music, lounge music or also calm Minimal Techno. The term "Chill Out" was firstly introduced in 1990 for their album "Chill Out" in the scene the group The KLF. More generally, the ending of an event or an evening is designated "chill out".
Panorama Terrace | Deep House & New Disco | Aprés Chic @ H12 ART OF LIFE | Carinthia, Austrian Alps | 1700 metres above sea level | Text short
Starting in 1986, percussive house tracks with soulful vocal elements were produced in Chicago. This gave deep house its distinctive character, especially with its jazzy, vocal-heavy arrangements, setting it apart from the then-popular New York garage house. Deep house runs at a tempo comparable to disco. The spectrum of current tracks is broad – ranging from soul and jazz influences to tech house – all at a moderate pace. In the early ’90s, a disco-inspired form of deep house emerged, later referred to as disco house or, eventually, nu disco.
Panorama Terrace | Down Tempo House | Aprés Chic @ H12 ART OF LIFE | Carinthia, Austrian Alps | 1700 metres above sea level | Text short
Down-tempo house is too slow to dance to – but far too beautiful to sit still. Atmospheric, warm melodies and tonal collages meet slow, steady electronic beats. Blended with lounge, disco, and a touch of pop, this is the perfect soundtrack to enjoy our panoramic view. You are warmly welcome…
Panorama Terrace | Trip Hop Lounge | Aprés Chic @ H12 ART OF LIFE | Carinthia, Austrian Alps | 1700 metres above sea level | Text short
With an exclusive trip-hop mix, we bring the weekend to a gentle close. Here, we recharge for the new week while soaking in beautiful music and breathtaking views. Trip-hop is a music trend that experienced a brief hype in the early 2010s. Originating from Vienna and London, the style spread across the globe. To this day, it has built a niche scene often interpreted as lounge music – a kind of instrumental hip-hop infused with elements of jazz, blues, and pop. The true depth of this music reveals itself when you're relaxed and gazing into a vast panorama. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
