Anji Bee Interview on Inside The Machine

Anji Bee is the featured artist on the second episode of Inside The Machine, the new audio show of Nicholas Young, founder of Original Machine. She and Nicholas sat down for an hour long interview on Skype, which actually went a bit longer as the two enjoyed their discussion of independent music, radio, podcasting, and fine arts so much. The show revolves around the back stories of 4 of Anji’s songs, “Love Me Leave Me,” “Hand In Hand,” “Love Will Turn Your Head Around,” and “Put Some Music On (Intensity of Sound Retro Funk Mix),” all of which are included in full on the show.

2017 UPDATE: This station is now defunct, but I archived it over on my InternetArchive account: AnjiBeeOnInsideTheMachine

2nd “Love Me Leave Me” Remix Single Released

Fundraising efforts continue for Love Me Leave Me, the debut solo album by Anji Bee, with two new remixes of the title track being released. This second “Love Me Leave Me” remix single features a dreamy Baeleric-infused chill out mix by Lovespirals. Ryan Lum of Lovespirals stripped down the electronica elements of the original album mix and added wistful acoustic guitar, his trademark dream pop electric guitar, and groovy congas, while Anji contributed a soulfully ethereal backing vocal to enhance  the verses of this moody and romantic remix.

The “flip side,” as it were, is a light and summery remix by German producer, Mr. Alfa, of Venus International. Bee had previously contributed vocals to Alfa Kay’s Winter Sun EP in December 2012. Kay also contributed two remixes to Bee’s collaborative song, “Love Will Turn Your Head Around,” with San Francisco band, Karmacoda, and singer/songwriter Beth Hirsch, who is a frequent collaborator of Kay’s. Bee is set to release a Karmacoda remix of “Love Me Leave Me” as one of 2 tracks on the upcoming 3rd single.

As with the first single, Bee is urging fans to contribute what they can afford via the “pay what you want” option on her Bandcamp page. At time of writing, fans have donated nearly $300, which is approximately 1/3 of what’s needed to press a small run of eco-friendly CDs. With several more singles slated for release including the aforementioned Karmacoda remix, mixes by The Morphism and Daniel Knoxville, plus 2 mixes by Den Jones under his new Urban Punks moniker — and possibly a few more surprises — Bee is hopeful that her funding needs will be met. Pre-sales for the full-length album will likely begin in August.


An exclusive “unplugged” mix is available as a free download for fans that sign up to the email list on www.anjibee.com or that “like” the official Anji Bee page on Facebook via an app on  Anji Bee’s MTV page, where you can also leave a “tip” to help fund the CD pressing.

Chillcast Video #110: When Saints Go Machine

This is the first time Danish band, When Saints Go Machine, have appeared on Chillcast Video, though I’ve actually played them several times on my audio show, The Chillcast with Anji Bee. I did feature a side project of the band, Kenton Slash Demon, way back on Chillcast Video #65, however. When Saints Go Machine just released their 3rd album, Infinity Pool, and this is the official video for the first single, “Love and Respect (feat. Killer Mike).”

10th Anniversary of “Love Me Leave Me”

Its the 10th anniversary of one of Anji Bee’s best-known songs!  The lyrics and vocal melodies of “Love Me Leave Me” were written a decade ago for a musical collaboration that never materialized. But Anji loved the song so much that she shared her demo vocals with Canadian producer, Rom di Prisco, who created a version for his 2004 Bitstream Dream album, ‘Integration.’ This album has long been out of circulation, and the song is not available anywhere legally.

Anji had never been satisfied with her hastily recorded demo vocals, so she was delighted when her Lovespirals partner, Ryan Lum, offered to recreate “Love Me Leave Me” in their own Chillcuts Studio. Armed with a vintage Neumann mic, a state of the art reverb unit by Bricasti, and an additional decade of singing, recording, and production experience, Anji has finally brought her melancholic lyrics to life with sensual and jazzy nuances galore.

The first remix of “Love Me Leave Me” to surface is by Anji’s long-time collaborator, The Grooveblaster. A series of 2 song singles are set to be released over the next month, with entries by Karmacoda, Mr. Alfa, Lovespirals, The Morphism, and Den Jones. Anji is asking her fans to pitch in a few bucks for each release to help fund the release of her full length debut solo album on CD, as well as to defray the cost of moving her long-time music show, The Chillcast, to a new hosting service. Read all about it and hear the single in full at anjibee.bandcamp.com

An exclusive “unplugged” mix is available as a free download for fans that sign up to the email list on www.anjibee.com or that “like” the official Anji Bee page on Facebook via an app on  Anji Bee’s MTV page.

Chillcast #367: Love Me Leave Me

I’ve got really big news this week! I’m celebrating the 10 year anniversary of one of my most popular songs with a gorgeous brand new recording of it.

I’m playing both cuts in the show tonight, and hope you’ll love them enough to go download my “Love Me Leave Me (Single)” on Bandcamp, where I’m asking fans to consider paying a little something extra to help fund the pressing of my album and keep The Chillcast online in downloadable podcast format. Also on the show tonight is an intriguing mix of new and recent releases, many with a jazzy influence and dark undertones. There’s 3 free downloads in the mix, grab them below.
