Chillville is the soundtrack to your Sunday morning routine, or complete lack thereof, featuring downbeat electronic, smart pop and acoustic music. It is hosted by your friendly neighborhood Raydog (Ray Seggern) and producer Full Monty (Jason Montemayor). Chillville was voted "Best Radio Music Program" in the 2007-8 Austin Music Awards by readers of the Austin Chronicle.
Prominently featured artists include The Flaming Lips, Zero 7, Radiohead, Morcheeba, Coldplay, Soul Coughing, Bjork, PJ Harvey, Portishead, Death Cab For Cutie, Massive Attack, and the Cocteau Twins.

Raydog was one of 101X's original deejays when the station launched in June of 1995. Before that he was one of the original deejays on Austin 's first commercial alternative rock station, and before that he was one of the original deejays at UT's campus radio station.
He also ran a record label (Reservoir Records) whose "Homegroan" compilations featured some of the early releases by Austin mainstays Spoon, David Garza, and Bob Schneider, and whose "101-Xmas" compilation CD featured rare Christmas music from The Flaming Lips, Butthole Surfers, Lee Ving's Fear, Sixteen Deluxe and more.
Outside of radio, he also ran his own weekly newspaper (The Tulsa Independent... RIP), and he partnered with legendary Austin concert promoter Jim Ramsey to put on the first Austin concerts by Pearl Jam, Jane's Addiction, Stone Temple Pilots, Live, Public Enemy, Tool and Rage Against The Machine (all at The Back Room). He also used to be an assistant manager at the Ice Rink at Northcross Mall where, yes, he drove the Zamboni everyday (no kidding).
