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 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.

Chillcast #279: Trippy

2 Comments

This week we explore some of the trippier new releases that I’ve been diggin’ but wasn’t sure how to fit in between chillout lounge and deep house. This is a chill set featuring intriguing vocals — many with interesting use of reverb or delay — and plenty of mood. The second half goes more soulful, with a heavy Swedish influence. I think this mix sounds really summery with distinct hints of late night vibe. Turn on your lava lights for this one! Oh, and be sure to grab the amazing free downloads included below.

Chillcast Video #64: Favorite Flava

2 Comments

Today’s musical guest is the Swedish trio, Favorite Flava. I love their unique brand of nusoul music so I’m pleased to introduce them to you with the video for their new single, VII, featuring the lead vocals of Stray. This 3-song release is out now on Exceptional Records, and it includes both the original and Sasac remix plus the song “Dirty City Supermind” featuring Paul Mac Innes on lead vocals. Check out “VII (Sassac Remix)” on Chillcast #273 (including a link to a free download!) and “Dirty City Supermind” on Chillcast #274. I’m trying to get a copy of the latter’s video for a future vidcast, so watch for that. Get more info on the band at: facebook.com/favoriteflava or www.favoriteflava.com.

Lovespirals ‘Feel So Good EP’ Out

Lovespirals have just released a 40 minute, 9-track extended single of “Feel So Good,” from their 2010 album, Future Past. Last December, Sony Acid Planet held a remix contest for Lovespirals’ funky, Pink Floyd-esque, retro electro-rock tune, and over 40 producers put their own unique stamp on the original track. The Feel So Good EP features the very best of the bunch.

Stream the Feel So Good EP from Bandcamp:

There’s the slinky trip hop grooves of Yumenomado’s grand prize winning “Film Noir Mix” and Noizz Factor’s jazzy “Glamour Mix,” both of which have a decidedly organic feel. Or check out the more electronic oriented mixes by DJ Chris and National Pool, who rely more on loops and classic drum machine patterns. If you’re into heavy beats, then the Electer and 7 Day Visa mixes should fit the bill. Def Men Walking took the song in a completely different direction with the addition of MC work and an old school Manchester feel. And then there’s Jack Ketch’s “Peckaries Parts 1, 2 & 3” which takes the song’s most Floydian elements and constructs an ode to the classic rock band that David Gilmour himself would likely chuckle over.

Anji Bee‘s soulful vocals hold the release together with their delicate balance of earthy sensuality and otherworldly ethereality, with each mix playing up different aspects. While some producers left the arrangement and vocal sound nearly untouched from Ryan Lum’s original mix, others played with sampling or pitch to use the voice more as a musical element.

This is a digital-only release available on most major online music stores including Bandcamp, linked below.

Thanks to all of the bands and producers that participated in the remix contest, as well as to our friend, Jamahl Richardson, for his 7 Day Visa remix. If you dig their remixes, be sure to check out their original music. Thanks also to Scott of ithinkitsnice for his amazing artwork.

Chillcast #277: Blessed

I’ve been incredibly busy lately with lots of new music to promote, but still I must admit that I’m blessed. Last week I saw my favorite young tennis player, Ernests Gulbis, breeze through his 2nd ever tournament win here in Los Angeles, this weekend I celebrated my beloved hubby’s birthday, and next weekend is our 6th anniversary. Historically we’ve kept our relationship on the down low, but this year I decided to tell the world, and the lyrics to “Blessed” were born. You’ll hear that song this week, along with a host of jazzy and soulful downtempo and deep house. Enjoy!
