Chillcast #314: Sumthing About U

I’m honestly now sure how to sum up the overall vibe of today’s show, as I’m mixing genres to my heart’s delight. I even included a mashup today, which might be a first for the show! I just hope you’re into my vibes, baby. I must admit I went a little heavy on the Stumbleine this week as he’s one of my favorite new discoveries and he’s got several new releases and collaborations out right now. Lucky for you I also went pretty heavy on free downloads – 7 in all. Be sure to grab ’em from the links below.

Chillcast #312: New Obsessions

Couldn’t resist making a new show on my “week off” because there’s been so many great releases recently and I just can’t squeeze it all into 2 shows a month! There’s a few new albums that I can’t get enough, in particular, so I couldn’t wait to share some of those tunes with you. Once again, this set is fairly spacey but with lots of soul, and ends on a very upbeat note. There’s some amazing free downloads in this set, so be sure to pick those up via the links listed below.

Lonely Sunset (Lyrics)

“Lonely Sunset” – Lovespirals (2022)

We could be together

Walking these lonely streets alone
Can’t find nobody to call my own
Thinking of you, wondering where you’ve gone
And wishing we could be together

Memories fading, still they linger on
I’m watching the sunset, dreaming of the dawn
Well, our love has passed, though not forgotten
I’m wishing we could be together

We could be together

Call my own (x5)

Everywhere I go I still search for you
Haunting all the places that we once knew
Even though its hard, its all I can do
Never find another love that’s half as true

We could be together…

Chillcast #311: In The Middle

This week I’ve put together a classic old school style Chillcast, mixing and matching a wide variety of genres, rather than milking any one particular musical vein. I guess you could sum up the show today as romantic and dreamy, with hints of nostalgia and melancholy. Look forward to some pretty amazing vocal driven tracks and remixes, plus plenty of great free downloads. Happy birthday to Jonatan “Ernesto” Backalie this week! Stay tuned for his hour long artist feature on May 11th!
