I appreciate your support!
This episode represents the mood I’ve been in, a state somewhere between low key and cranky… I’ve got a little ambient, a little glitch, and of course - downtempo electronica. Plus lots of great voices, both male and female. All brand new releases, several special permissions - w00t! Do I sound too low energy? Well, its a heat wave, so I’m pretty much melting over here….
I’ve got a great contest for you this week; 4 autographed copies of the brand new Mr. Meeble CD! I’ve also got a great lineup with a very soul searching vibe and fantastic male and female vocals. Come to think of it, this may be the most gender balanced mix yet… Oh! And I’ve got a TON of free downloads for you!!!
Enter to win one of 4 autographed copies of Mr. Meeble’s debut CD, Never Trust The Chinese. Winners will be selected at random after October 1, 2008 and announced on The Chillcast.

Will just sent me a copy of his brand new Dive Index CD, Collisions: the Mid/Air Remixes, which is due out officially on Sept 26th. On this week's Chillcast #127, I played a remix of "Water In Our Hands" featuring the lovely Natalie Walker on vocals. Then I discovered that this CD also contains 2 videos, one of which is for the original version of "Water in our Hands." The video and animation are by Divya Srinivasan, an amazing Austin artist who worked on one of my all time favorite movies, Waking Life, so I had to share this video with you! Hope ya dig it.
I’m home from the New Media Expo, having hung out with fellow music podcasters from shows including Dave’s Lounge, Cybster Space, Friday Night Dance Party, Most People Are DJs and so many more… This show celebrates my return (like you ever missed me…) with the winners of the Bitter:Sweet and Dive Index contests and a great new Natalie Walker contest! Plus tons of great brand new releases.
4 people will be chosen at random to receive a copy of Natalie Walker’s new album, “With You,” and 1 extra lucky winner will have their copy autographed by Natalie!
What? Another killer contest so soon? Yes it’s true! Not sure how best to describe this week’s mix, but it contains special permissions tracks, brand new releases, female AND male vocals, new bands to the show, and a completely free album. What’s not to love?
Don’t forget to enter the Dive Index CD contest for your chance to a 1 of 10 copies of their brilliant debut album, Mid/Air care of Neutral Music! Simply sign up for the mailing list at neutralmusic.com. 10 winners around the world will be selected at random. Winners will be contacted via email and asked for mailing address.

"Anji Bee has the sexiest voice in podcasting!"
-- Adam Curry of Daily Source Code
"Anji's sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet voice... I remember the first time I ever heard her, way back in the day, I said she could read me a Chinese menu or the phone book and I would be all happy!"
-- C.C. Chapman of Accident Hash
"Anji's voice wouldn't be out of place in a smoky jazz or blues bar somewhere down in a dimly lit cellar. Sultry with a voice like syrupy silky satin with a marshmallow middle and a honey topping."
-- Most Recognizable Voices in Podcasting, Sept. 2007
"Cosiness abounds as the silken voiced Anji Bee - lead singer of chillout band Lovespirals - pours a cocktail of mellow dance music. Mmm..."
-- Radio Times, July 2007
"If you're looking for a different brand of 'grown and sexy' in the podcast world, check out Anji Bee. This young lady is bringing it - from production, to her voice, to the music selection - she is doing her thazizzle!"
-- Fave of Friday Favecast
"No other voice in the podosphere is more sultry than Anji Bee."
-- Macedonia, Radio BSOTS
"Anji Bee, a musician and former radio DJ, gives "stage" to artists who might not otherwise be discovered. Bee's podcast exposes me to independent artists I've never heard of, and subscribing to it eliminates the need to forage for new music."
- La Shawn Barber's Corner
"Enjoying The Chillcast. It's seriously awesome. I listen to them like over and over again."
-- Julien Smith of In Over Your Head
"I just love the tunes Anji Bee selects and her comments on them. I no longer have to search for music to be creative; I just susbcribe to The Chillcast."
-- Karen of Rumor Girls
"Like having a cocktail of lovely tunes and honey poured directly into your ear. Well-chosen music, voice links that make you feel cosy inside, it all adds up to an essential weekly download."
-- Good Podcast Guide, Nov 2006
"If you're in the mood for chillout music, this should be your first stop. Her voice alone is the perfect complement for a long drive or any escape from the hectic rush of everday life. You're gonna love it."
-- DJ Come of Age, Nov 2007
