Chillcast #457: Deep End [Mixcloud Podcast]

My first mix for 2017 features 10 brand new tracks culled from SoundCloud. Even the 2016 tracks are pretty recent. As always I start it out slow and sexy, building up the vibes as we go along. Lots of future beats and bass with plenty of hip hop and r&b vibes and a splash of pop EDM. There’s a couple remixes, notably Tarro’s mix of THEY. a fun remix of Ed Sheeran’s new hit, and a killer mashup by Autograf in honor of Pres Obama. Lots of vocal based tunes today — and it’s def NSFW. Have a great weekend, peeps and happy new year to ya!

Chillcast Top 20 Tunes of 2016 [Mixcloud Podcast]

What were my most listened to tracks on 2016? I count down my top 20 tunes, most of which have been featured on the show previously. I made sure not to play the same artist or remixer twice to spread the love around. Gotta say, this was an excellent year for music and not all of my faves made the cut. I figured letting iTunes tell me what I actually played most was the most democratic way to put this badboy together. There’s a lot of moody tracks in here, with sexy beats and sensual grooves, some with full vocals and others not. We’ve got a couple remixes and plenty of original songs. I hope you dig it as much as I do! See you in 2017.

I guarantee you’ll hear some tunes you HAVEN’T heard in heavy rotation the past month. LOL! Please share this mix with someone you love! Heck, share it with erryone to spread the holiday cheer!!!

Chillcast #455: Party Monster

HOW IS IT ALREADY DECEMBER?!? Sorry I haven’t posted a mix for a few weeks, I guess I’ve been a party monster. But I’m back at it for First Friday and hoping to get a 3rd Friday mix in before 2017 arrives. TBH this is a pretty moody mix that starts out with a seductive vibe perfect for late nights then starts building steam with some future pop gems and remixes resplendent with the FEELS of bittersweet vocals. It all culminates in an unexpectedly poppy yet trap cover of “Party Monster.”

You’re guaranteed to discover some artists you’ve never heard before, so check out my SoundCloud playlist version of the show to download your faves and show the artists some love!

A 1988 illustration by Anji Bee for New Age Records is making a comeback! This pen and ink drawing of a straight edge guy jumping while pumping his fist was used in the early days of this So Cal hardcore punk label. Nearly 3 decades later, the label is dropping tees, hats, and buttons with this iconic drawing that in all honesty, was drawn to look like Anji’s Positive Influence zine partner, Buster Cates.
