To celebrate the arrival of Spring and warm weather, I present a tasty mix of Brazilian chillout. In my opinion, the voices of Brasil are the sexiest of all and this episode is chock full of lilting Portuguese lyrics for your listening pleasure. Mix yourself a caipirinha and chill…

Rather than simply type up my Top 20 podsafe picks for 2006, I figured I’d put together a special episode of The Chillcast so you can hear them yourself! It was actually pretty difficult to keep the list to just 20, I have to admit. The quality of podsafe music just keeps increasing as the weeks and months go by, and I’m sure there’s still more great tracks from 2006 left for me to discover in coming episodes. I’m definitely looking forward to the new crop of podsafe tracks of 2007!
Playlist:
“Things We Do” Soular SoundJazzflora 2 (2006 Dealers of Nordic Music)

For you holiday party listening pleasure, I’ve put together a special cocktail party DJ mix. Get ready for 90 minutes of pure, jazzy, Chillcast goodness selected especially for your swanky soirees! I held off from commenting in-between tracks, but did a little intro and outro. Should work well for intimate get togethers with friends, family, or that special someone… So turn somebody onto The Chillcast this holiday season!

I produced a last-minute special edition Chillcast at P-Dub’s request for Sirius Radio as part of Podshow’s Twofer Tuesday. I know I said I’d take the weekend off, but who could say no to the “Satellite Repair Man”? Since I did the work, I figured I’d share it with my faithful listeners. The mix is more upbeat than usual, to keep a nice 4th of July party vibe going. Maybe you can take a listen to this on Friday?

The content was partially taken from several recent episodes, but I created all new commentary for the songs and a bit of new intro, as well. Oh, and there’s new feedback from Roger Smalls!
Great summertime feel this show with a nice new group of artists! Lots of listener feedback coming in recently, please keep it coming. Let me know if you like the way the show sounds, recording-wise, and how you feel about the little production bits I threw in for fun. As always, the podcast is a work in progress and I invite you to get involved in the process. Feel free to send me audio comments — or music — for consideration at anjibee@gmail.com.

"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
