With the ominous sound of raging winds outside my studio window, I put together a set of sweet, sweet vocal tunes to soothe the soul and bring peace to my agitated mind. And lucky you, you get to experience this bliss, as well! In classic Chillcast form, we start out with laidback chillout in the first half and slowly work our way up to smooth minimal tech house and close it out with my two favorite Göteborg vocalists. Lots of great free downloads this week, so grab ’em while they’re hot!
I’ve got a real treat for you this week; a 90 minute DJ style mix of Brazilian music. And everything is a FREE DOWNLOAD! This weekend I’m going to the big Blame It On Rio Fireworks Finale at the Hollywood Bowl featuring Bebel Gilberto and Seu Jorge, so that is partly my inspiration here. Plus it has simply been far too long since I last featured this countries’ lovely and diverse music. I guarantee that once you hear this episode, you will fall in love with the sounds of Brasil, too! A big THANK YOU goes out to all of the labels who made the choice to go Podsafe with their artists’ music.

This week’s one hour episode is a bit more moody than usual with a lot of dream pop and world beat music thrown into the mix. Ambient and ethereal are the order of the day, with plenty of gorgeous female vocals – and some male vocals, as well. I present some great new special permissions music as well as some solid new Podsafe tracks, including several nice free downloads. For those of you in the wintry part of the world, this mix should suit your long dark nights quite nicely… As for the rest of us, it serves as a reminder that cold days are just around the corner.

I had totally forgotten about Independence Day when I sat down to make the playlist this week, so I scrapped it and started fresh to create a full hour of good, good vibes – to quote the amazing new Sara Tavares song I open up this set with. Look forward to an eclectic mix of sounds and styles including World, Downtempo, Electro, House, and Funk — all guaranteed to put you in the best of moods! Plus 6 totally legal free downloads – something to celebrate, indeed.

This was one of the tougher episodes to make, quite frankly. One never knows what to say in the wake of unexpected deaths, and here I was trying to figure out the best way to talk about Andy Hughes when the news of Michael Jackson came in. And all of this on top of the ongoing struggle in Iran, not to mention the death of Charlie’s favorite Angel. Plus rumors have been swirling about Sasha Vujacic being traded and various other celebrities dying — all very distracting and non-chill… That being said, however, I think I managed a pretty tight one hour mix for you that’s about half contemplative downtempo and half upbeat dance music. I hope it brings you some peace of your own.
This full hour episode is dedicated to our beloved L.A. Lakers who just won their first NBA Championship in 7 years. Congratulations also to team captain, Kobe Bryant, for additionally winning the Finals MVP award. As I type up shownotes, I’m sitting here drinking a cuppa joe out of my new Sasha Vujacic mug given to me by one of my fellow Vujachicks at a fun viewing party for game 4. OK, I swear, no more Lakers posts or tweets for awhile. I’ll be switching to Wimbledon and Roger Federer any day now. LOL!
