Founded in 2011 by local brothers Ethan and Eric Funk, Mountain Chill® / KRKQ was built to bring a world-class chill music experience to FM radio —right here in the San Juan Mountains.

Powered by 100% renewable energy, we curate a wide-open soundscape spanning downtempo, ambient, chill, electronic, house, neo-soul, Latinx, and global music. Expect fresh discoveries, exclusive premieres, and tracks you’re unlikely to hear anywhere else on the dial.

Mountain Chill is more than a radio station, it’s a way of moving through the world. Grounded, curious, and unhurried. We trade mountain-town music clichés for depth and discovery, and we intentionally champion female, LGBTQ+, Latin, and global artists to reflect a richer, more expansive cultural reality.

We’re proudly independent and guided by a simple belief: small is beautiful. That means listeners and local sponsors come first, not algorithms, not trends, not noise for noise’s sake.

Think of Mountain Chill as a steady signal in a loud world. A place to breathe. A place to stay awhile.
