Chillcast Ernesto Interview Feature

1 Comment

It is with great pleasure that I present a very special 1-hour interview feature on Swedish singer/songwriter/producer, Ernesto! He just released his 4th full-length album, Suffice Suffice, and I’m excited to share songs from this highly personal artistic effort with you. As a huge fan of his work, it was a joy to speak with him about his musical background, songwriting and recording history, personal beliefs, and the process of putting this album together. Jonatan is quite intelligent and well spoken, as well as an incredibly talented songwriter and soulful singer, so you are in for a treat!

Its been a big month of celebrations at Chillcast central, and this week’s show is no exception.

Some of my favorite bands are included in this romantic mix that’s sealed with a kiss for my special someone. Big thank yous go out to Jay Denes and Jonatan Bäckelie for their special permissions tracks!

Chillcast #213: Sweet Vox

3 Comments

With the ominous sound of raging winds outside my studio window, I put together a set of sweet, sweet vocal tunes to soothe the soul and bring peace to my agitated mind. And lucky you, you get to experience this bliss, as well! In classic Chillcast form, we start out with laidback chillout in the first half and slowly work our way up to smooth minimal tech house and close it out with my two favorite Göteborg vocalists. Lots of great free downloads this week, so grab ’em while they’re hot!

Chillcast Video #39: Waveplant & Ernesto

2 Comments

At long last, I present another video edition of The Chillcast! I originally recorded an intro and outro in late March, but had some tech trouble with the video. With all that hammered out, please enjoy this very cool and colorful video released last year by Exceptional Records for a super catchy collaboration between Chicago’s Waveplant and Gothenburg’s Ernesto. This is the original mix of “(I Need A) Bassline” available on the Waveplant & Ernesto “(I Need A) Bassline EP” on  iTunes Special thanks to Bob at Exceptional for sending me the video! For more great tunes,  listen to my Chillcast Exceptional Spotlight podcast from April 2007.

Chillcast #209: Motherlode

1 Comment

Its an embarrassment of riches over here at Chillcast studio, as I’ve totally hit a motherlode of great new music! I absolutely can not get enough of the new Ernesto/Motorcitysoul EP, but then again, I can never get enough Ernesto in general. LOL! I introduce a bunch of new bands to the show this week, so you’re sure to discover something you love. I can’t quite pin down the overall sound of the mix; genres these days are so splintered and complex I don’t even know what I’m playing half the time! But you’ll recognize the feel – a little deep, a little downtempo, a little dub – some with vox, and some instrumental. Its a sophisticated set designed to engage the brain as much as the body. Enjoy!

This week I scoured the Internet to bring you the very best brand new and recent releases, and I think you’re gonna enjoy this cool eclectic set. Included in this list are several free downloads, so rejoice! And speaking of free music, I have finally selected the lucky winner of the 8 CD contest, which I announce today. Plus lots of news, recommendations, announcements, promo codes, and good clean fun.

*update* I just read a very sad blog post by Jonatan Bäckelie (AKA “Ernesto”) about illegal downloading and its negative impact on not only his music but the entire chillout music scene. He is an incredibly talented artist and it is a damned shame to think he may give up hope on making music for a living.

Chillcast #60: Exceptional Spotlight

A little birdy told me PodShow may be experiencing some downtime next week, and I wanted to make sure you all heard this Exceptional Records spotlight, so I put it up a bit early. All of the artists this episode are playing the Exceptional Night Out gig in London Tuesday the 18th. Wish I could be there… All these tunes were found on the IODA Promonet site. Thanks to Exceptional for going podsafe!
