The first show of 2011 takes a look back at some of my personal favorite tunes from 2010. Unlike my “Top 20 Podsafe Songs Of…” shows of years past, this selection is not confined to only podsafe music. Because I now play more music received directly from promotional companies and bands than ever before, I just couldn’t restrict myself that much. I hope you’ll enjoy this 90 minute mix of chillout, lounge, electropop, downtempo, deep house, and minimal tech house as much as I do! Don’t forget to download the free mp3s included in the shownotes.

I swear, sometimes the shows just put themselves together. Checked out some cool new promos this week which suggested connections to other recent promos, and before ya know it, I had one tizight little mix goin’ on! Electronica subgenres have evolved to the point that I am seriously confused as to how to classify the music I’m playing — but I think I can safely say there’s some pretty cutting edge stuff here. Look forward to lots of great vocals with personality galore and hooks you can not deny. This is an upbeat but slightly dark set, well suited to late night listening driving alone on an empty highway or just chillin’ with headphones in your bedroom.
I hope you are ready because I have one doozy of a chilltastic set for you tonight! Why “tonight” instead of “today”? Because, my dears, you will want wait to savor this baby until after the sun goes down. I entreat you not to waste this hour of finely crafted tunes on rush hour traffic, lunch break, or the cubicle. No. Feast your ears at evening chillout time — earliest — please. *Smiles* Hey, enjoy the heck out of this show and be sure to grab the two free downloads below.

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!
