Anji Bee Releases 5 Years of Chillin’

Download 5 Years Of Chillin’ for FREE at anjibee.bandcamp.com

March 2011 marks the 5th Anniversary of The Chillcast with Anji Bee, the twice-nominated “Best Podsafe Music Podcast,” on the Mevio Network. Since 2006, Bee has had over 5 million downloads of nearly 300 audio episodes and 55 video episodes, featuring approximately 1,500 bands and artists in a wide range of electronica genres guaranteed to soothe you and groove you.

To mark this historic occasion, Bee has assembled an hour long compilation, 5 Years Of Chillin’, featuring brand new unreleased tracks by Chillcast regulars MoShang, Chill Factor-5, 7 Day Visa, Lovespirals (Bee’s band with partner, Ryan Lum) and Anji Bee, herself — plus hard to find tracks by Adam Fielding, Mr. Meeble, and The Grooveblaster, as well as a few favorite songs by Ernesto + Markus Z, Under, Science for Girls, Sunburn in Cyrpus, Steve Kilbey + Martin Kennedy, and Karmacoda (who collaborated with Lovespirals on a modern version of the classic Americana spiritual, “Motherless Child”). The album was mastered by Robert Rich of Soundscape Productions, with assistance by Lum – who also shot the cover photograph – while Bee designed the album artwork and attendant promotional graphics.

All of the artists have generously donated their music gratis, and Bee will be making this musical collection available for free download through music sites including Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Last.FM, and Mixcloud. A small pressing of eco-wallet promotional CDs will be available soon.


On top of releasing the 5 Years of Chillin’ comp, Bee is hosting a series of CD giveaway contests on The Chillcast in March and April, from artists including Nu Shooz, Balligomingo, and Karmacoda. Come join the celebration over at www.anjibee.com!

Just bought the compilation. I could get it for free but I’ve got too personal a connection to Anji as a result of getting all her content for so long, to do that. I’d feel guilty and I think it should be financially supported. I downloaded the ALAC version of course, so the payment will help with bandwidth costs.

Lovely cover. Ryan’s photo has been nicely antiqued by Anji (light leak in the upper-left corner). That logotype really has been nicely designed from the very beginning, and there it is, unchanged for so long, looking fresh on a new release!

Very nice work you two!

jason: you’ll hear about the cd version for sure once it’s out!

cali: thanks for the good wishes. for sure, come and say hi to us if you see us at native foods or anywhere for that matter!

Congratulations Anji! Thanks for 5 years of Chillin. Your podcast is the best in the biz! Love the compilation. Wishing you and Ryan the best for 2011.

PS If I ever see you guys at Native Foods in Costa Mesa, I’ll come and say Hi.
