This week’s episode is a spotlight on the CC Asia Band release, CABACA. This 21 song album is the collaborative effort of dozens of artists spanning the Asia-Pacific region in the spirit of share and share alike. Friend of the show, MoShang, was one of the pivotal figures in the completion of this collection of songs, and you can hear his unmistakable stamp on several of the productions. I am very proud to bring you a small taste of the release and strongly encourage you to go download the full set — and if you’re a producer yourself, why not grab the remix files to contribute your own mix to this ongoing project? This is a Creative Commons release so podcasters, radio DJs, Second Life club owners, film makers etc - please feel free to use these songs, as well.
The first artist ever to grace the vidcast returns for their 3rd time with their 3rd video from their 3rd studio album - how do you like that? 3-3-3 must mean something in numerology! As promised, here is the WORLD PREMIER of the brand new video by the one and only Karmacoda from the capital of creativity, San Francisco. “Make Like Mine” hails from the band’s 2007 album, Illuminate, and is one of my personal faves. This breathtaking video was created by Luiz Otavio Feldens, who also did their previous video for “Skylines.” I am so proud to bring this video to you, I am bursting!
Please grab the download for higher quality video than the Flash player.
What? Another killer contest so soon? Yes it’s true! Not sure how best to describe this week’s mix, but it contains special permissions tracks, brand new releases, female AND male vocals, new bands to the show, and a completely free album. What’s not to love?

Plastic Operator return to the Chillcast Video Edition with one of the catchiest songs EVER, “Folder” (no, not as in “scruncher or folder“), from their 2007 album, Different Places and the Folder EP. This fun video was directed by AICP award winner, Pete, of Bitstate. Be sure to check out this weekend’s Chillcast audio show to hear their latest single, “Peppermint,” from the Peppermint EP. And watch next week for the world premier of Karmacoda’s brand new video for “Make Like Mine” ONLY on The Chillcast Video - w00t! OH, and I select the winner of the MoShang Asian Variations limited edition CD live on this show. Is it you?
BTW, the download looks much better than the flash player, so check it out for higher quality!
It seems I caught iPhone 3G fever Friday, and thus the show was delayed until my old Sunday release date. But I promise the show is well worth the wait as I have a killer lineup AND a killer contest!!! Plus I’ve got several special permissions tracks from outstanding new releases that you won’t want to miss. Now if only someone could build me a Chillcast App for the 3G…

"Anji Bee has the sexiest voice in podcasting!"
-- Adam Curry of Daily Source Code
"Anji's sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet voice... I remember the first time I ever heard her, way back in the day, I said she could read me a Chinese menu or the phone book and I would be all happy!"
-- C.C. Chapman of Accident Hash
"Anji's voice wouldn't be out of place in a smoky jazz or blues bar somewhere down in a dimly lit cellar. Sultry with a voice like syrupy silky satin with a marshmallow middle and a honey topping."
-- Most Recognizable Voices in Podcasting, Sept. 2007
"Cosiness abounds as the silken voiced Anji Bee - lead singer of chillout band Lovespirals - pours a cocktail of mellow dance music. Mmm..."
-- Radio Times, July 2007
"If you're looking for a different brand of 'grown and sexy' in the podcast world, check out Anji Bee. This young lady is bringing it - from production, to her voice, to the music selection - she is doing her thazizzle!"
-- Fave of Friday Favecast
"No other voice in the podosphere is more sultry than Anji Bee."
-- Macedonia, Radio BSOTS
"Anji Bee, a musician and former radio DJ, gives "stage" to artists who might not otherwise be discovered. Bee's podcast exposes me to independent artists I've never heard of, and subscribing to it eliminates the need to forage for new music."
- La Shawn Barber's Corner
"Enjoying The Chillcast. It's seriously awesome. I listen to them like over and over again."
-- Julien Smith of In Over Your Head
"I just love the tunes Anji Bee selects and her comments on them. I no longer have to search for music to be creative; I just susbcribe to The Chillcast."
-- Karen of Rumor Girls
"Like having a cocktail of lovely tunes and honey poured directly into your ear. Well-chosen music, voice links that make you feel cosy inside, it all adds up to an essential weekly download."
-- Good Podcast Guide, Nov 2006
"If you're in the mood for chillout music, this should be your first stop. Her voice alone is the perfect complement for a long drive or any escape from the hectic rush of everday life. You're gonna love it."
-- DJ Come of Age, Nov 2007
