This week’s episode is quite reminiscent of my short-lived podsafe music podcast, Unwind, which – in case you aren’t familiar with it – was designed to be listened to as you drift off to sleep. You see, I had a mind shattering headache the day I put this together, so I really needed to keep things chill. Expect a soft mix of quiet sounds, soothing voices, and beautiful atmospheres in this one-hour show. I am taking “chillout” to a whole new level – so kick back, relax, and enjoy!

This was one of the tougher episodes to make, quite frankly. One never knows what to say in the wake of unexpected deaths, and here I was trying to figure out the best way to talk about Andy Hughes when the news of Michael Jackson came in. And all of this on top of the ongoing struggle in Iran, not to mention the death of Charlie’s favorite Angel. Plus rumors have been swirling about Sasha Vujacic being traded and various other celebrities dying — all very distracting and non-chill… That being said, however, I think I managed a pretty tight one hour mix for you that’s about half contemplative downtempo and half upbeat dance music. I hope it brings you some peace of your own.
Barcelona artist and Whatabout Music founder, Dave Bianchi, just released a video of the first single from his brand new full length album, Baby Disco. This gorgeous video was created by Dave’s friend and acclaimed director, Laurent Briet. “That Stare,” was also featured on The Chillcast #150.
I’m back from a quick birthday retreat and in quite a good mood! This is an all-special permissions show chock full of fantastic new releases from some of my favorite Chillcast artists. Plus I have another amazing contest for the new Karmacoda album – w00t! BTW, though the title makes it sound like I’ve hit a cool new milestone at 150, this is actually the 186th episode according to my Mevio stats. What’s more exciting is that I’m getting close to hitting my 2,000,000 download. You can help me reach my goal by turning a friend onto the podcast!
