Need to relax after Thanksgiving and Black Friday? Perhaps you have a few friends coming over for drinks and conversation? Or maybe you just need a little “me time”… Whatever the case, this 2 hr mix of world beat, jazzy downtempo, and mellow electro should fit the bill. Get ready to kick back, relax, and enjoy this 2 hour chillout lounge set recorded especially for you, baby. Oh, and be sure to download all the free mp3s included in the shownotes. And please tell a friend!
On a more serious note, I hope you will join me in sending your prayers for peace out to the people of Mumbai, India.

As promised, this week I present a special artist feature on loopmaster extraordinaire, The Grooveblaster. Gerry and I spoke via phone about his long musical history and the process of creating his new album, Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights. He shares lots of really interesting stories, and coupled with the tunes, I think this feature will give you a nice portrait of the man behind the music. Warning: I do a say a few naughty words and play a few non-podsafe songs…
Playlist:
“Angie Dickison” The GrooveblasterCities, Streets & Bebop Nights (2008)
“Take a Hard Ride” The GrooveblasterCities, Streets & Bebop Nights (2008)
Hear how Gerry had his MySpace account unceremoniously deleted, was denied digital distribution by CDbaby, was contacted directly by a band to ‘cease and desist’, and how he turned his musical career around from outlaw underground remixer to chic retro-lounge downtempo fave of KCRW DJ, Raul Campos, as we preview tracks from his latest album, Cities, Streets, & Bebop Nights.
As I contributed vocals and lyrics to 3 of the tracks, I’m really excited about the album, but honestly, the whole thing is fantastic and includes collabs with the great Yasi Baby of Pacha Massive and posafe artist, Laura Harley, as well as great instrumental tracks with a sexy retro feel. There are a number of songs available on the podsafe music network to play on your show:
Anji Bee on PMN with 2 Grooveblaster collaborations & an intro

"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
