It was a slow promo week, so I decided to scour IODA’s site for cool new music for this week’s show. A lot of great electronica and dance music has popped up over there, including several pre-releases which I just couldn’t resist playing for you immediately. I’ve also included some new tracks from releases we’ve already sampled in recent past episodes. The rad thing about IODA is that they make the songs available as free legal downloads for you listeners, so be sure to grab every track you enjoyed from this podcast from my official shownotes below. And to show your appreciation of the band’s generosity, why not go and buy the rest of the album as well?
I’m back from a lovely Catalina Island camping trip and full to the brim with great new music for your chillout pleasure. This week’s mix is quite eclectic in musical styles, but has an excellent flow owing to a rather melancholic vibe pervading the set. As usual, the hour flows from dreamy laid back offerings to upbeat sexy vibes… you know how we do. And don’t forget to download all the tasty free downloads included below!
“Moody and sexy” isn’t too bad a way to sum up the overall musical theme of this week’s one hour set. This mix is infused with smooth, sultry rhythms and sensual vocals, but still retains some grit and edge. From downtempo and deep house to dub step and electro pop, there’s plenty of musical variety to savor. And you’re definitely gonna love the amazing free downloads included below!
Well its the dreaded Tax Day here in the good ole USA as I record the show and type up the shownotes for ya. Like many of my fellow Americans, I got rocked by Uncle Sam. My only consolation now is great new music and awesome free downloads, and luckily I’ve got both of those in spades! So let’s all settle down and get ready for some serious chillaxation – whether or not you had to pay taxes out this week. Don’t forget to come add yourself as a fan of The Chillcast on Facebook!

I had a lotta fun listening back to all the great podsafe songs that were released last year. So many talented artists made their music available via the Podsafe Music Network and IODA Promonet, which is a beautiful thing… Of course, I’m lucky enough to have many more songs and albums sent to me for what we call “special permissions,” but my tradition is to celebrate the music that was made legal for any and all podcasters to use in their shows. At a time when bloggers are proclaiming podcasting as a dead medium, I think it is especially important for us to appreciate the increasing growth of high quality podsafe music and to support the artists who support the art form of podcasting. Being both an indie artist and podcaster, I can see and experience that wonderful symbiotic relationship from a unique perspecitve, and let me say that I do not think podcasting is dead by a longshot. But hey — its 2009, let’s get this party started!
This week’s mix of warm and wonderful chillout music from Mexico, Cuba, and Brazil will bring a little summer sunshine to brighten your winter doldrums!
