CHILLFILTR® provides a home for Indie Music.

My name is Krister Axel. I love organic music with a solid groove and honest lyrics. I am always open to hearing new songs for inclusion on Cloud Radio, KSKQ, or as a blog post.

Krister Axel

I was born in Paris, France, and finished high school in a suburb of New York City. I live in Ashland, Oregon with my wife and 2 children.

This site was built with Rails 8 & Postgres, deployed via Render.

I kicked off my weekly broadcast show The Weekly Catch for KSKQ in May of 2025.

We love music and we bring it to you free of charge.

CHILLFILTR® is a multifaceted platform dedicated to amplifying independent voices in popular music and modern literature. Please visit our radio page for a realtime example of our taste levels. The music we love falls very roughly into 3 categories: Indie Rock, Folk-Roots-Soul, and Electro Pop.

We want to support indie artists in every way possible. We have a small budget every month to purchase new tracks from artists we like.

You can also send us your songs directly. We charge a small listening fee.

Krister Axel: Lyricist, Composer, Performer

My music is online at all the usual places as Krister Axel and my roots band The River South (available on Bandcamp). I love music, technology, and the craft of writing.
