A new digital release called Connected (Single) is now available. This collaborative song from Anji Bee features simple mantra a of a lyric that was inspired by the fledgling podcasting community back in 2008. The song idea resurfaced in 2010 for the Creative Commons community, and now in 2020, it’s up on Bandcamp for the first time as a message for the whole world.
We are connected.
You can read more about the 3 versions of “Connected” (acapella, Ghost4Hire mix and Fave Nitemare mix) on the individual song pages of the Anji Bee Bandcamp account. This is a Bandcamp EXCLUSIVE.
A cool remix of my classic song “Goodbye” has been released on the new ‘Start Again… Remix Album‘ by The Morphism. This mix by Keurich is definitely tougher sounding than the original 2000 recording created by Moondawg and I for our Dreamzone 51 project, or the better known version created with Rom Di Prisco for Bitstream Dream in 2001. Even though I had rerecorded my vocals for Bitstream Dream, The Morphism version utilized even newer recordings — with an added chorus refrain, bridge, and outro –which is what’s sampled for this remix. Hard to believe sometimes how long I have been doing music for. It’s nice to know that some folks out there still enjoy my early work! Thanks to both producers for making this happen.
“Goodbye (Keurich Remix” by The Morphism and Anji Bee is also available on Apple Music.
Lovespirals have a new collaboration with San Francisco band, Karmacoda out now. B invited Anji and her partner, Ryan Lum, to remix a track from their 2018 album, Intimate. “My Love” featuring the band’s new vocalist Jessica Ford, was the perfect fit for Lovespirals’ chill downtempo vibes. Jessica’s deeper vocal range makes an interesting contrast to Anji’s breathily ethereal backing vocals and Ryan’s production added a compelling dreaminess to the song.
Karmacoda Revealed (Intimate Remixes) is available on all digital platforms now.
At long last Lovespirals‘ 5th album is finally out! Buy/stream/listen on all your favorite sites or buy it directly from Ryan and I on our Bandcamp store. Limited edition 4-panel eco-wallet CDs with a matching pin are still available at the time of writing. You can also check out ‘Life Goes On’ via Pandora and give a thumbs up to your fave tracks!
“Stunning… Gorgeous… Some of Ryan Lum’s best work as a songwriter and musician.. Haunting and ethereal. Absolutely Anji Bee’s most nuanced vocals… beautiful and sultry.” — Matt Rowe, MusicTAP
The Morphism just released a new album dedicated to Canadian composer Saki Kaskamanidis (aka Captain Ginger) who sadly passed away in late 2016. Living Generation is an old-school electronics and rock album that takes one back to the time of the original Sony PlayStation and classic Need For Speed games. Anton Gagarin of The Morphism founded the “Romulus Club” Internet community in 2010 to promote and work of Rom Di Prisco and Bitstream Dream, whom Saki and Anji were both a part of. He’s done an excellent job of keeping the old content alive, as well as continuing the collaborative project’s legacy with new projects like this. The 15 track album includes his versions of Anji Bee’s classic Bitstream Dream songs “Love Me Leave Me” and “Good Bye.” While the former had previously been released, the latter is an exclusive to this LP and features totally new vocal recordings with additional lyrics. You can read the more about history of this song on the “Good Bye” lyrics page.

If you subscribe to Happy Healthy Vegan, you may remember this song from my Maui Vlog. A lot of viewers asked about it, so I thought I’d pop out the music sequence from the vlog and finish it up as a music video so you could appreciate the whole song. This beautiful track has been languishing by the wayside, neglected and apparently forgotten for 5 years… It began as an Aerotek instrumental in 2012 which Anji fell in love with. A hasty vocal demo sent to Aerotek lead to an updated version which received a lot of love here on YouTube. Unfortunately, Aerotek cancelled our contract before it’s scheduled Spring 2013 release, so this amazing remix by Ukranian producer, Mobil, has never seen the light of day. I thought it a shame that nobody should ever hear our work! This is a slightly edited cut of the track.
Another Anji Bee classic has been brought out of the vault for this new Bandcamp exclusive single! The digital release includes Anji’s vocal demo for Moosefrog plus their epic original mix, as well as newer mixes with updated vocals by Godzilla and Higher & Above.
YouTube personality Vegan Footsoldier has been fundraising for what he touts as “The Best Vegan Rock Album Ever” for some time now, and at last the album has dropped!
Anji and Ryan were credited as “Happy Healthy Vegan” — their YouTube channel handle — on the track “Jam” in which Ryan contributes bluesy electric guitar leads and Anji contributes her own lyrics and vocals/spoken word.
Direct from the Anji Bee music vault! Exclusive to Bandcamp is this previously unreleased mix of “Lonely Sunset” created in 2013.
Haunting, yet upbeat, trance collaboration with Ukrainian producer Mobil. His dazzling melodic progressive style twinned with the shimmering vocals of Anji Bee is like a breath of warm summer air in the midst of snowy wintertime.
The Internet Archive is now hosting the year 2000 classic Fishtank No. 9 mix of “Gone” by Anji Bee. Never commercially released, this song has been unavailable for over a decade. Now you can stream or download it in multiple audio formats for free! The entry includes retro artwork with a photo from their era, often seen in Bitstream Dream publicity.
