The Chillcast with Anji Bee just joined the lineup over at 246Live 100.7FM Toronto for the Sunday morning midnight-1am timeslot. Following the Chillcast are shows hosted by DJ/Producers Mark Knight and Carl Cox. Also in the weekly lineup are legendary DJ/Producers Armin Van Burren, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Judge Jules, and Ferry Corsten. 246LIVE is Toronto’s biggest Dance station and has been on the airwaves for over 6 years.
Artist of the Week: Under
The debut album of San Francisco duo, Under, has been several years in the making, but I must say, it has been well worth the wait! Their inspired self-titled first single was featured in the Chillcast Top 20 Podsafe Tracks of 2006, and this moody tune is still my favorite. While the earlier tracks taken from the Under EP might be the band’s strongest material, the newer songs have a delicate touch that provides a sweetly ethereal counterpoint. Jen Triano’s voice has a vulnerable, unforced quality that feels pleasingly familiar and shines equally brightly in either an electonic or rock setting, which Under balances beautifully on More Pleasant Grey.

Artist of the Week: Vanessa Daou
After an 8 year hiatus, the lovely Vanessa Daou has returned with a delicious new album. Part smooth jazz, part experimental folk – Miss Daou paints an aural portrait of a smoky basement lounge where a sexy poetess performs side by side with a sensual chanteuse. Daou flows effortless between the two worlds of spoken word and song, and we follow along, held in sway by her siren’s call. Listening to ‘Joe Sent Me’ is like coming back to your favorite old haunt to find that time has stood still and preserved the magic of that first time you discovered it there, hidden just below the surface of the busy city streets.
“Heart of Wax” (mp3)
from “Joe Sent Me” (Daou Records)
