Chillcast #325: Monster Love

7 Comments

I don’t know if you’re following me via social media or not, but if you are, then you most likely know that I’ve been going through a rough time recently. I lost my cat of 19 years, Monster, who was born in my house and died in my arms. I’d been giving him intensive care for the past year, as he suffered from 3 strokes and had both kidney disease and high blood pressure, so it wasn’t a surprise, but it still hurts so much. Monster loved music, so this episode is dedicated to him. <3

Anji Bee essay in ‘First Time I Heard Kate Bush’ by Scott Heim

Leave a comment

Anji Bee contributed 1 of the 39 essays about Kate Bush for the “The First Time I Heard” book series out now on Amazon Kindle and Apple Books.

THE FIRST TIME I HEARD KATE BUSH is Part V in an ongoing series where musicians and writers tell their stories of first hearing the music of an iconic artist or band. In this fifth volume (following the first four installments, which covered Joy Division/New Order, Cocteau Twins, David Bowie, and The Smiths), thirty-nine different musicians and writers remember their initial experiences with hearing Kate Bush, the brilliant, eccentric, influential, and immensely talented British singer/songwriter whose albums include her debut “The Kick Inside,” the classic “The Dreaming” and “Hounds of Love,” and the recent “50 Words For Snow.” The “First Time I Heard” book series is edited by Scott Heim, a novelist (Mysterious Skin, We Disappear) who is also a longtime music fan.

Rosecliff Press

Certainly I could not have imagined such a ravishing creature as she; all limpid eyes and sensual crimson mouth, luminous pale skin contrasting with vivid red hair, at once ferocious yet somehow fragile.

Chillcast #324: Fade Into You

Leave a comment

I was woken up early this morning by thunder and its been raining on and off all day. So perhaps its appropriate that my mix tonight is a bit on the dark side. Some might say it’s downright sad. But there’s a certain beauty in sadness, and this mix is certainly proof of that. Look forward to a moody mix of dreampop and electronica in this collection of originals, remixes, and covers – including 2 versions of the classic Mazzy Star song, “Fade Into You.” 11 out of 12 songs today are free downloads, grab your faves from the links below.

Chillcast Video #93: Sun Glitters

Leave a comment

Today’s musical guest is Luxembourg artist, Sun Glitters. Last month he uploaded a gorgeous video for his glitchy chillstep track, “The Wind Caresses Her Hair,” on his Vimeo page. This single was released last year on his Bandcamp page as a “pay what you want” release, which means that you can download it free if you wish. Original music video by Hampus Karlsson of the Cargo Collective.

Chillcast #323: Last Days

Leave a comment

With the change of the season comes a slight change in mood here on The Chillcast. Autumn seems to be a more reflective time, often tinged with melancholy, as we say good bye to the exuberant extended days of summer and prepare ourselves for the shorter, darker days to follow. As such, today’s show begins with a set of beautifully bittersweet ambient-edged tracks foreshadowing the coming cold, while the second half reflects on the more sunny, upbeat summer days we just enjoyed. 8 of 12 tracks in today’s playlist are free downloads, so be sure to grab your faves using the links below. (PS Sorry I keep mispronouncing your name Owsey – bad habit!)

Chillcast #322: All I Need

3 Comments

I’m still super hooked on spacey ambient-edged chillstep, lovestep — whatever you want to call it — and this episode is filled with some great new finds in that genre base. I’m finding more producers introducing some of the hallmarks of this sound into their repertoire, which has resulted in some very interesting genre cross pollination. About half of these tracks are legal free downloads, so be sure to grab whatever strikes your fancy from the links below!

Chillcast Video #91: Ernesto

Leave a comment

Today’s musical guest is one of my faves, Ernesto! Ernesto is the pseudonym of Swedish vocalist and producer, Jonatan Bäckelie. He recently announced that he’ll begin releasing music under his given name later this year, and you’re sure to hear that on the Chillcast audio show. Taking a trip down memory lane, this is a brand new video for the 2007 Ernesto classic, “Sick and Tired.” Music video filmed and edited by Johan Eileryd of Entrepreneur.

Chillcast #321: Laid Back + Summery

1 Comment

Today I’m introducing many new artists to the show, which is always exciting. I’ve got a couple remixes from some big label artists in the mix, though most of these artists are fairly underground. The vibe of today’s set is laid back, spacey, and summery with a blend of lovestep, nu disco, chill house, and ambient tinged pop. All 13 songs in this playlist are free legal downloads so be sure to check out those links below.

Chillcast Video #90: Nyree and the Auto Charm

Leave a comment

Today I welcome to the show for the first time Glasgow band, Nyree and the Auto Charm. We’re checking out the summery video for “Tijuana,” the 3rd single from the band’s brand new debut album, Funky Tamborine. You can heart the title track, as well as their second single, “Ballerina,” on recent past episodes The Chillcast audio show. I’m sure I’ll be playing more from the band on both shows soon!
