Chillcast #214: Eastern World

Get ready to chillout to one hour of Eastern World influenced and/or created electronica music. This set is chock full of mysterious vocals, soothing flutes, intricate percussion, tinkling cymbals plus plenty of groovy beats and sultry rhythms. I say “Eastern World” because its a mix of Far and Middle East music influences in this set. Of course there are copious Western influences, as well. There’s 5 free downloads this week, care of Promonet, so be sure to check those out!

Chillcast Podcast & Vidcasts on Boxee

Both The Chillcast and Chillcast Video are now available on the Boxee Beta via a Mevio Network app. Boxee is a free cross-platform home theater program designed to organize and play all manner of media, from streaming online video and audio, to audio, video, and photos from your own hard drive, on either your computer or television. It also integrates social network aspects, so you can rate and recommend content to your friends.

Having only briefly checked it out, I can see some similarities to Hulu, Roku, and Miro (which also includes Chillcast Video). It looks like there is promise as an elegant solution to the ever-growing problem of collecting all your content in one place with easy-to-use functionality. I’m particularly excited at the prospect of using the Boxee Remote iPhone app to control my streaming Netflix content.

Chillcast #213: Sweet Vox

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!

Chillcast Video #39: Waveplant & Ernesto

At long last, I present another video edition of The Chillcast! I originally recorded an intro and outro in late March, but had some tech trouble with the video. With all that hammered out, please enjoy this very cool and colorful video released last year by Exceptional Records for a super catchy collaboration between Chicago’s Waveplant and Gothenburg’s Ernesto. This is the original mix of “(I Need A) Bassline” available on the Waveplant & Ernesto “(I Need A) Bassline EP” on  iTunes Special thanks to Bob at Exceptional for sending me the video! For more great tunes,  listen to my Chillcast Exceptional Spotlight podcast from April 2007.

Chillcast #211: New Mic

I really love the mix of moods and musical styles on this week’s episode! There’s a little bit of everything in this one hour set, but it all flows so sweetly from song to song. I just love the challenge of mixing genres on The Chillcast, you know? Come to think of it, its great vocals – both female and male – that hold a lot of it together, and there are some real doozies in here. To top it all off, over half of the songs are FREE downloads – w00t! Don’t forget to come join The Chillcast on Facebook Group.

Chillcast #210: More Mellow

Today’s set underwent a few changes before going into production. While the original mix was quite good, I felt like making it more mellow once I sat down to record. After a long day and a busy week, I was eager to chillax big time. And this set really hits the spot! So get set to chill out to an hour of new tunes in a variety of styles from artists both new and old to The Chillcast. Oh hey, sorry but the Deva Premal song is no longer available for free download from Promonet…
