I’ve been so distracted this week that I totally forgot about Labor Day weekend, so instead of one of my traditional extended holiday DJ mixes, I’ve got a very sensual set of Lovely Ladies to seduce and delight you! And anyway, I just gave you an extended mix 2 weeks ago with my Road Trip Mix… Lots of new releases this week including several special permissions so enjoy!
It seems I caught iPhone 3G fever Friday, and thus the show was delayed until my old Sunday release date. But I promise the show is well worth the wait as I have a killer lineup AND a killer contest!!! Plus I’ve got several special permissions tracks from outstanding new releases that you won’t want to miss. Now if only someone could build me a Chillcast App for the 3G…
Playlist:
“Hearts Were Meant To Be Broken” Snow & VoicesWhat The Body Was Made For (2008)

Happy 4th, my fellow Americans! Last year I did an IndepenDANCE DJ Mix, so this year I thought I’d do an INDIEpendance Day Mix. Tee hee. Rather than upbeat house etc I went with pure chillout, since that’s what you guys seem to dig and I have plennnnnnnty of it to share! Well, OK, there may be a few house and trance tracks, but still, it’s pretty mellow - great for a dinner party or chillin’ by the pool. Music provided by Podsafe Music Network and Promonet. Special thanks go to HAM guy for the great CC photo of fireworks! Wanna keep the party going? Check out more extended Chillcast DJ Mixes.

This week I bring you the winner of the recent Melou CD contest — plus another great track from their album — along with a fine selection of songs by bands both new and old to the show. Plus I’ve got an awesome flashback track from my favorite era of music: the 70’s! Its a dedication, no less. What else? Oh, new sponsors to the show with money saving offers for you. Mevio is really pulling them in this summer! Its another fun filled 45 minute set designed both to chill you out and lift you up.
The weather is really heating up in So Cal, which means its time for another installment of Brazil Chill! I’m going to the Hollywood Bowl this weekend to attend the OuternationalMusic Tour and am thrilled to see Bebel Gilberto! In her honor, I present this 45 min mix of music by her fellow countrymen and women. Plus I’m featuring a free Bebel Gilberto mp3 care of Promonet on my blog. W00T!

"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
