I was torn between titling this one “Classic Chillout,” “Classic Chillcast,” or “Lovely Ladies.” Today’s show is exactly that, a classic Chillcast mix of lovely chillout tunes with Internationally diverse female vocals. My favorite! I’ve had quite a few high quality trance tracks sent in recently, but this week I was really in more of a mellow mood so what we’ve got here is a nice collection of downtempo, lounge, worldbeat, r&b, and one little drum & bass tune for good measure. Enjoy, baby!

I had totally forgotten about Independence Day when I sat down to make the playlist this week, so I scrapped it and started fresh to create a full hour of good, good vibes – to quote the amazing new Sara Tavares song I open up this set with. Look forward to an eclectic mix of sounds and styles including World, Downtempo, Electro, House, and Funk — all guaranteed to put you in the best of moods! Plus 6 totally legal free downloads – something to celebrate, indeed.

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.
OM Records’ “First Lady of House,” Colette has just embarked on a massive House FM summer tour with DJ Heather, so I thought it was a great time to feature her on Chillcast Video. Check out this sexy video for the song, “If,” from her 2007 sophomore album, Push. You can find tour dates on Colette’s MySpace page. Tune in to this weekend’s Chillcast to hear another hot track by Colette. And don’t forget to vote for DJ Colette in the Best DJ of 2009 Contest at DJ Times!
I am really digging this international set of brand new tunes! Its got a nice balance of electronica and world music with plenty of interesting vocals in various languages or simply with cool accents. Heh! I’ve been waiting to play a few of these tracks until they went up on iTunes, which wasn’t easy… There’s 4 free downloads this week, too — get ’em while they’re hot, baby.
