Chillcast Karmacoda Interview Feature

4 Comments

This week I present my second artist feature with San Francisco band, Karmacoda. This time around we actually met up in Chillcast studio to chat live and in-person about their 4th album, Eternal, released last month. We had a really great time, which I think you’ll be able to hear in our conversation. Since we already got into the band’s history and past releases in my 2007 Chillcast Karmacoda artist feature, this time we focused solely on their new material. I close out the show with the premier of their brand new live acoustic recording of “Feel The Weight” — watch for the video on the next Chillcast Video!

Chillcast Video #67: Hanna & Beatr8

Today’s musical guest is the Swedish duo of Hanna & Beatr8. I fell in love with Hanna’s voice from her collaborations with Stray (from the band Favorite Flava, with Hanna’s husband, Paul Mac Innes), so I was excited to see that she was releasing a full length album this year. From their self-titled debut album Hanna & Beatr8, this is “Flowers”. Listen for more of their tracks on The Chillcast weekly one hour audio podcast! Buy the Hanna & Beatr8 album on iTunes

Chillcast #284: Equinox Mix

This week’s Chillcast boasts a much more energetic set than usual, even finishing up with a set of vocal trance – a real rarity for the show. There’s also a set of deep minimal and soulful deep house midway through, and a whole clutch of great new songs out of Sweden – including 2 brand new songs by my favorite male vocalist, Ernesto! There’s also a set of 3 fantastic free downloads. While today’s show may be short on traditional “chillout music,” I think you’ll have no problem chilling out to it this Equinox. Enjoy! OH YES — next week I plan to release my special interview feature with Karmacoda, so watch for that!!!

Chillcast #283: Sad Pianos

3 Comments

This week the tie that binds my song selections together is the piano. It seems that a number of new songs have come my way with haunting piano melodies, and while a single piano song can stick out amidst my primarily electronica sets, when I started placing them all together, it was magic. I hope you enjoy this beautiful, melancholic set featuring piano in a variety of different musical settings and moods. And don’t forget to check out this week’s Chillcast Video, linked to below. Enjoy!

Chillcast #282: Every Direction

I’ve packed a lot of music into this 60 minute episode! After last week’s extended dance mix, I thought I’d bring things down a notch and focus in on lyrics this show. Towards the end I present a set of spoken word pieces, followed by 2 chopped up vocal remixes, but the rest are those dreamy vocal tunes you’ve come to expect from Chillcast. Though primarily chillout and downtempo, the pace picks up for the final third, and the whole show includes an interesting mix of styles.

Chillcast #281: Labor Day Mix

1 Comment

This Labor Day weekend I present an extended 90 minute DJ mix for your listening pleasure. Primarily deep house of various styles, this set is upbeat yet chill, with a mix of vocal and instrumental tunes. There’s some brand new stuff in here, as well as a few tunes I’ve been holding on to for the right occasion. So as not to break the party mood, I kept my voice overs at a minimum, with the shortest of intros and outro and no talking in between tracks. Instead, I had a little fun mixing and cross fading tunes. Enjoy!

Chillcast #280: Soulful Music

We’re coming back down to Earth this episode with a fantastic set that — once again — has a strong soulful bent. I start you out slowly with a little chillout, then bring in some nusoul and R&B, and then branch out into an array of genre blending electronica tunes. There are a lot of fabulous vocals this week, both male and female, plus 2 instrumentals. Don’t forget to pick up the amazing free downloads included below, and be sure to buy an album or two to support the artists on the show.

Chillcast Video #65: Kenton Slash Demon

1 Comment

This week’s video is an intriguing mix of vintage 80’s nostalgia and futuristic dance music. I’m told that this video created for Copenhagen DJ duo, Kenton Slash Demon was made by Dark Matters using nails and string, rather than vector based computer programming. Wow! “Daemon” hails from Part 3 of the “The Schwarzchild Solution” trilogy, available through Tartelet Records. Kenton Slash Demon members Jonas Kenton and Silas Moldenhawer are also part of Denmark band When Saints Go Machine, and are joined by Saints’ bandmate, Nikolaj Vonsild, on guest vocals, alongside Jon Philpot of Brooklyn band, Bear in Heaven. Buy Kenton Slash  Demon Daemon – Single on iTunes
