Cynthia Hall gave The Chillcast a nice little writeup in her Australian-based lifestyle blog this week.
WEEKEND CHILLOUT
Your iPod is full of surprises. Last week, you carelessly set it to shuffle and mid-candle lit dinner, Olivia Newton John began demanding that you get physical.
While you’re always open to suggestions, here to better maintain your evening’s mood are Anji Bee’s Chillcasts.
… kick back this weekend to a mellow mix of internationally diverse downtempo, deep house, world beat and electro tunes to sooth your soul.
To celebrate my syndication on 246Live I give you a full hour of music this week! Get ready for a great mix of brand new Downtempo, Dream Pop, World, Electropop, and Trance from all over the world. I think I could be persuaded to keep the show format at an hour if ya’ll want me to, so please drop me comment to let me know your preference! And don’t forget to grab the 4 free downloads

The Chillcast with Anji Bee just joined the lineup over at 246Live 100.7FM Toronto for the Sunday morning midnight-1am timeslot. Following the Chillcast are shows hosted by DJ/Producers Mark Knight and Carl Cox. Also in the weekly lineup are legendary DJ/Producers Armin Van Burren, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Judge Jules, and Ferry Corsten. 246LIVE is Toronto’s biggest Dance station and has been on the airwaves for over 6 years.
The debut album of San Francisco duo, Under, has been several years in the making, but I must say, it has been well worth the wait! Their inspired self-titled first single was featured in the Chillcast Top 20 Podsafe Tracks of 2006, and this moody tune is still my favorite. While the earlier tracks taken from the Under EP might be the band’s strongest material, the newer songs have a delicate touch that provides a sweetly ethereal counterpoint. Jen Triano’s voice has a vulnerable, unforced quality that feels pleasingly familiar and shines equally brightly in either an electonic or rock setting, which Under balances beautifully on More Pleasant Grey.
Finally enjoying a mellow day as I put together this episode for ya’ll. I really love how the mix flows from ambient poptronica to upbeat dance tunes and hope you’ll dig it, too. I’ve got some brand spanking new music here that you are sure to love, including several free downloads. Oh yeah…

Its with great pleasure that I present the new video for “This Place” by Under, from their debut album, More Pleasant Grey. I’ve been a fan of this San Fran band for quite some time — in fact, their self-titled first single made my Top 20 Podsafe Tracks of 2006 episode. Keep up with the latest from Under via the band’s MySpace page or Facebook group. Bump this song and other Under songs on TheSixtyOne. Buy this song or the entire album digitally from iTunes.
I am really digging this international set of brand new tunes! Its got a nice balance of electronica and world music with plenty of interesting vocals in various languages or simply with cool accents. Heh! I’ve been waiting to play a few of these tracks until they went up on iTunes, which wasn’t easy… There’s 4 free downloads this week, too — get ’em while they’re hot, baby.
