This week’s has a mellower mood with a focus on more Ambient and Dream Pop styled music. It was inspired by 2 recent Magnatune releases. Noticed I didn’t use any music from Promonet this week, and just one from the Podsafe Music Network. The rest of the lineup comes directly from the bands or labels as special permissions tracks. Thanks to Projekt, Robert Rich, and All India Radio for the use of their music.
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.

It’s an American holiday weekend, but its raining in So Cal… That’s OK, ’cause I’ve got a whopping 2 hour mix of contemplative downtempo, IDM, nu-jazz, and world beat for your listening pleasure. Thanks so much for all the kind comments coming in about the Mother’s Day Mix and last week’s extended episode! I’m gonna keep the chill tunes flowing all Spring and Summer long.
For your Mother’s Day listening enjoyment, I present a 90 min mix of downtempo electronica, world beat, and smooth jazz. Listen to the show as you chillout with mom.

I’ve got a classic mix of female vocals for you, and all from artists that are new to The Chillcast! We’ve got a little bit of everything this time around, from downtempo and deep house to soul to lounge and ending up with some worldbeat jazz. I hope you dig it!

"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."
