This week I welcome to the show for the first time Mr. Paul Mac Innes AKA Psaul. The Psaul Project is a new collaboration between Paul and his Favorite Flava cohort, straY. Their debut single is the catchy, retro-80’s R&B pop song, “Catch U.” I discovered this video over on Paul Mac Innes’ Vimeo page, where you can download it free. You can also download an mp3 of “Catch U” free from Soundcloud. BONUS! Check out the “Catch U” Remix Contest for more great mixes of this tune.
I’m chill. Are you chill? Slip out of your business suit and into a kimono, dawg, and get ready to chill out on your chilltastic couch as Anji Bee of The Chillcast puts some music on — good times! The winner of the 5 Years of Chillin’ limited edition CD is announced this episode, as well as a Matthew Ebel music sale, and a Nu Shooz Orchestra video contest. Check it all out in this chill episode of the Mothpod. Podcast cover art model: Matthew Ebel. Design by: Zack “The Mothman” Daggy.
Some people are convinced that The Rapture will occur this weekend. If that’s the case, then I figure we’re gonna need a really good playlist for the occasion. From darkly contemplative ambiance to celebratory booty shakers, this set runs the gamut, encompassing both the light and the dark. With beat matching, crossfades, and dropped in samples, this week’s show is completely DJ style, with no talking in between tracks. I want to dedicate this set to fellow DJ and KUCI alum, Clay Young, who passed away earlier this week. You will be missed, baby!

Weird name for the show today, I know. Its just that I noticed I had unintentionally included 3 cover songs in today’s mix of chilled downtempo and deep minimal house. This is a really sweet set today, with plenty of variety in genres and styles, all with a lovely laid-back vibe. As I mentioned in the show, I have extended the Grooveblaster album contest and the Karmacoda CD-single contest, so be sure to get your emails in now. The Chillcast Pinku Vääty Contest is still ongoing, as well, so don’t be slacking.

Included in Anji’s set is Lovespirals’ brand new track, “Try To Forget,” as well as her solo song, “Put Some Music On” (produced by Ryan Lum, of Lovespirals, btw…), along with several other cuts from her new 5 Years of Chillin’ compilation. In addition, she featured several recent Lovespirals remixes, including the winner of the “Feel So Good” remix competition held by Sony Acid Planet earlier this year. Also in the mix are 2 brand new Anji Bee collaborations; one with The Grooveblaster, and the other with Karmacoda and Beth Hirsch, as well as her recent collaboration with 7 Day Visa.
Properly Chilled was founded in January 2005. Dedicated to downtempo music and culture, their approach is a widely inclusive one, bringing together the sounds of nu jazz, broken beat, world fusion, dub, trip hop, deep house, jazzy hip hop, ambient electronic, idm, glitch, reggae, acid jazz, afrobeat, cosmic disco, dubstep and pretty much any other laid back child of electronic music.
Fresh from my trip to San Francisco, I present a 1 hour mix set of deep minimal tech house and soulful deep house. Got some vocal numbers in the mix, but less so than the average Chillcast. I don’t think I’m doing this booty shaking set justice with my description; just check it out, I promise you won’t be disappointed. Oh, I also announced the 5 lucky winners of the 5 Years of Chillin’ limited edition CD contest. Make sure to grab the free remix by OM Records stars, Dirty Vegas!
“Love Will Turn Your Head Around (Radio Edit)” – Karmacoda feat. Beth Hirsch & Anji Bee Single (2011)
Love will turn your head around
Turn turn turn… Turn the lights down low, light a candle
Turn my stereo on
I’m turning circles, here by myself
Dreaming of turning you on
Love Dreaming of turning you on
Dreaming of turning you
Love will turn your head around
Turn turn turn…
You always give your very best away
And it doesn’t matter who can see
You’re the only one that counts for me
Love is holy
When the tension gathers all around
And you feel like something’s coming down
Hold your head up, walk your ground
Love is holy, love is holy
Love will turn your head around
Hanging with you, you’re a lyrical child
Taking your time on the miracle mile
Loving with you, you’re a lyrical child
Taking the time on the miracle mile
What do we want; its the tip of the tongue
Here with you now; its the song that we’ve sung
Love will turn your head around
Lighting up this place I keep
I can hardly get the sleep I need
I’m wondering if I can turn the eye in the storm
Love
Ritualized; its all I can be
Underneath a shrouding of me I wonder
If I, if I can turn, turn the eye
Long, it was so long
Love will turn your head around
Long, it was so long
And I will lay here
Ooh child
Don’t you stay, and I will lay here
Ooh
To calm your storms
Turn your head around
Stay here
I will play here Turning in circles
The eye of the storm
Ooh stay
Don’t you take it all Turning in circles
Ooh child
Of your calm
Inheriting your world’s what I seek
Turn your, turn your head around
Longing to the be the eye of your calm
Ooh ooh love Dreaming of turning you on
Turn your, turn your head around
Longing to be the eye of your calm Dreaming of turning you on
Ooh stay Dreaming of turning you
Eye of calm
Love will turn your head around
Ooh calm
The eye of calm
NOTE:This highly collaborative song began with some music and lyrics by B, of Karmacoda. Then I came up with my lyrics, inspired both by what he sang and the instruction he gave me to imagine what I might be doing late at night. Beth said she was inspired by my part to come up with her own, incorporating the “turn” concept into what would become the song’s title. And Heather wove her vocals seamlessly through all of our concepts, adding her own unique twist to the lyric. Finally, B had the gargantuan task of taking all of these various vocal bits and combining them to create one cohesive whole. No small feat!
Returning to Chillcast Video is French electro-acoustic artist, Bonobo, with a mysterious video for his song, “Eyesdown.” This is one of 3 collaborations with vocalist, Andreya Triana, from the Black Sands album released last year by Ninja Tune. There is also an Eyesdown EP which includes remixes by Floating Points, Warrior 1, and Appleblim & Komonazmuk, as well as the original mix and an instrumental version. This video was directed by Steve Glashier, who also directed the gorgeous video for Bonobo’s “The Keeper” which I played on Chillcast Video #43 last August.
