This week I bring you the winners of the Karmacoda CD contest AND a hot new contest for Shine – w00t! You guys are getting totally spoiled by all these great giveaways; I’ve held a contest every month of 2008, and in 2007 I held a total of 15 CD contests! That’s a whole lotta free CDs…
Enter to win a copy of the fabulous debut CD by French band, Shine! The first 5 folks to email contact@shine-music.net with the correct answers to the following question win: “What are the titles of tracks # 2, 4, and 12 on The Common Station?” Good luck!
The theme of this week’s Chillcast is remixes. I’ve got a show chock full of all brand new remixes from 2008, several of which are podosphere premiers by Beth Hirsch, Karmacoda, and Lovespirals – w00t! Additionally, I’ve got a fantastic CD contest for the brand new Karmacoda remix album – rock!!!

I’m back with an episode chock full of previews from brand new and upcoming albums plus annoucements of a new Lovespirals remix contest and fellow electronica podcaster interview – check the show links for details. Last chance to enter the Chillcast 46bliss Contest — I think we’ll have the winners next week.
I am super proud to present the vidcast premier of Karmacoda’s beautiful new video for “Skylines,” directed by Luis Otavio Feldens. The song hails from their album, Illuminate, released last year. The song I’m playing on my NokiaN810 is “Front of My Room,” from the band’s 2nd album, Evidence. Karmacoda have got a new remix CD coming out soon, so stayed tuned to the regular Chillcast audio show to hear some exclusive tracks from Lux Life soon!
If you dig the vidcast, why not leave a comment on the blog?
Hard to believe 2007 is over! Tons of great podsafe music was released last year, making it tough to come up with just 20 of my favorite songs! As I mention on the podcast, I limited my selection to PODSAFE tracks from 2007 that were previously played on The Chillcast. There were many great special-permissions tracks I played as well, but I limited myself to songs that every podcaster can legally play on their show. If you dig the music, be sure to support the artists by buying their CDs or downloads. And feel free to comment on my selections on the blog!
Lovespirals’ Motherless Child EP has just been released on iTunes+ and Amazon Mp3. This digital only release features 6 remixes of the first single from the duo’s most recent album, Long Way From Home.
