Chillcast #243: Thankful

1 Comment

Sorry this week’s show is a bit late. Things are always crazy around the holidays! But I promise it was worth the wait. I’ve got some great new releases this week. I’m also introducing a few new bands to the show. This week’s show is a bit heavier on male vocals than usual, though there’s also a few female vocal tunes and instrumentals. And as usual, I’ve got some amazing free downloads in the mix. Hope my American listeners are having a chill Thanksgiving holiday!

The duo also give an update on production of the new Anji Bee album, and working on new song as Lovespirals,  plus collaborations with The Grooveblaster and Bart of Audra. Anji discusses the new video for “Believe,” the behind-the-scenes Future Past photoshoot video, and Chillcast Video show. Ryan introduces the official launch of Anji’s Goodies, a food blog with Anji’s vegan recipes and tips, as well as an update to Ryan’s personal blog.The biggest news is Lovespirals’ Sony ACIDplanet remix contest for “Feel So Good” — the band closes out the show with a great remix by 7 Day Visa.

Chillcast #242: Thanksgiving Mix

Leave a comment

So I know what all my American listeners have planned for this week; you’re all gonna be chillaxing, kicking back, eating food, having some drinks, hanging out with friends and family, and just generally relaxing. For me, music is always a big part of relaxing and hanging out with folks. So I figured I’d put together a chill, groovy set without any talking between tracks that you can enjoy this week. And for all my international listeners, heck, you can just consider this some bonus downtime! This is a sweet, soulful mix of instrumentals and vocal pieces. Enjoy!

Chillcast #241: Just Chillout

4 Comments

This week, let’s all just chillout with this one hour set of pure relaxing chillout music. I think I’ve got the perfect balance of vocal tracks and instrumentals, with hints of worldbeat, funk, and house. This mellow mix flows dreamily along, gently gaining momentum towards the last 3rd of the show. Lots of brand new releases are featured and several of them are even legal free downloads. Enjoy the chill, my friends!

Chillcast #240: Moody Mix

1 Comment

A ton of new music just flooded in from bands, labels, and music bloggers. Honestly, it was hard to contain myself to an hour long set. Especially after that extended Halloween DJ Mix I did last week! But I managed to distill it all into a streamlined moody mix that’s just perfect for the warm windy nights we’re having in So Cal. I imagine it will work equally well for wet cold nights elsewhere; you’ll have to let me know how it goes. Lots of free downloads this week, be sure to grab ’em!

6 Comments

Thanks to all the Chillcast listeners on Facebook and Twitter who expressed interest in my doing an extended DJ mix for this Halloween! Checking through my archives, it seems this is the 3rd Annual Chillcast Halloween DJ Mix. And just like the other 2, this mix contains NO themed music of any kind. Its not even spooky. Its just pure chill dance music made up of legal free downloads from our friends as Promonet. All treats, no tricks – Happy Halloween!

“Heartstrings” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Heartstrings” Anji Bee

I feel him tug my heartstrings
His fingers pluck the melodies
Part of the cosmic fugue now
Melding into everything

Turn away our daily cares and
Let the music soothe our souls
And the notes that he’s playing
Combine with mine to make us whole

Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free
Free

In the quiet of the night
All alone in our room
While the world is fast asleep now
He and I compose this tune

Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free
Free

I feel him tug my heartstrings
His fingers pluck the melodies
Part of the cosmic fugue now
Melding into everything

Music is magic
I feel it moving me
Music has the power
To set our souls free
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
To set our souls free
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
To set our souls free

NOTE: These lyrics were originally written during Lovespirals’ 2001-2002 ‘Windblown Kiss’ writing sessions, inspired by an instrumental track by Sean Bowley. They were first set to music in May 2004, when I collaborated on a song idea with Chris Caulder, based around an old acoustic guitar riff by Ryan Lum that I found on a backup disc. Before the song was completed, Chris moved to another state and was without a studio for awhile, leaving the project in limbo. In February 2007, Ryan and I produced an abbreviated version of the song using Chris’ musical demo — adding Ryan’s guitar lead and my vocals — to use as the theme music for a short-lived podcast called Lovely Ladies. We are now completing a totally new recording of the song for my debut solo album with different music and updated vocal harmonies.
