Leave a comment

Check out the soulful and jazzy “Winter Sun” by Alfa Kay and Anji Bee out now! This track is part of an ongoing project by Venus International, who have created 5 different vocal versions, all of which are free to download on Bandcamp. He hoped this song would help bring awareness to the plight of homeless during the winter months, encouraging listeners to repay the karmic debt of a free download with a favor to those less fortunate during cold winter days, such as the gift of food, clothing, blankets or a kind word.

4 Comments

Anji Bee’s first single from her upcoming debut solo album was recently released by 3345 Music. The Put Some Music On EP includes The Grooveblaster mix from his latest album, Out Of The Past (which AcidTed described as, “a bit wee small hours, smokier and sleazier” than the original mix), plus a dubby mix by 3345 Music’s own 3C, and 2 brand new remixes by Intensity of Sound, the project of veteran German dance producers, Marcel Grasmück and Kay Praag. The Intensity of Sound “Retro Funk Mix” hit #2 on the Traxsource Lounge Essential 20 list in December and #16 on the Juno Recommends Downtempo list for January, whereas DJ Oxide at Resident Advisor and Urbnet’s Jackhouse Magazine listed the full Put Some Music On EP at #2 on his Top 10 Picks for January 2012.

Promo from 3345 Music:

A seriously sultry voice oozes soul and emotion. “Put Some Music On” describes the proper end to a day… Anji Bee brings it to life in a cinematic setting.

Intensity of Sound’s Retro Funk Mix – Recalling the Lisa Stansfield era, Intensity of Sound delivers a fresh take on a retro feeling.

Original Version – The impeccable production and Anji’s tremendous vocal range drive a downbeat trip to downtown.

Intensity of Sound Deep House Excursion – A moment moving past too fast, Intensity of Sound captures the vibe and groove.

The Grooveblaster Mix – With a jazzy combination of guitar and groove, the Grooveblaster creates his own masterpiece.

3C Ragga Club Mix – A left turn into the deepest of beats and bass, a totally down nightmare not on wax…

Hot new dance record label, Dame-Music, celebrates it’s first year anniversary with the eclectic double vinyl 12″ set, Potluck.

The opening track is her own collaboration with fellow Berliner, SIS, featuring vocals and lyrics by Anji Bee. “Cast Out Of Paradise” is an epic 13 and a half minute deep minimal tech house song with a very moody and slightly dark feel. Also included are collaborations between Komaton & Cesare vs Disorder, Sierra Sam & Tolga Fidan, Quenum & Paris the Black FU, and Timid Boy & Marco Resmann, plus an exclusive track by Jozif, who’s just joined the label’s roster of artists. You can download Potluck on Beatport (exclusively at this time) or purchase the limited-edition double vinyl of Potluck on Decks Records.

Download 5 Years Of Chillin’ for FREE at anjibee.bandcamp.com

March 2011 marks the 5th Anniversary of The Chillcast with Anji Bee, the twice-nominated “Best Podsafe Music Podcast,” on the Mevio Network. Since 2006, Bee has had over 5 million downloads of nearly 300 audio episodes and 55 video episodes, featuring approximately 1,500 bands and artists in a wide range of electronica genres guaranteed to soothe you and groove you.

To mark this historic occasion, Bee has assembled an hour long compilation, 5 Years Of Chillin’, featuring brand new unreleased tracks by Chillcast regulars MoShang, Chill Factor-5, 7 Day Visa, Lovespirals (Bee’s band with partner, Ryan Lum) and Anji Bee, herself — plus hard to find tracks by Adam Fielding, Mr. Meeble, and The Grooveblaster, as well as a few favorite songs by Ernesto + Markus Z, Under, Science for Girls, Sunburn in Cyrpus, Steve Kilbey + Martin Kennedy, and Karmacoda (who collaborated with Lovespirals on a modern version of the classic Americana spiritual, “Motherless Child”). The album was mastered by Robert Rich of Soundscape Productions, with assistance by Lum – who also shot the cover photograph – while Bee designed the album artwork and attendant promotional graphics.

All of the artists have generously donated their music gratis, and Bee will be making this musical collection available for free download through music sites including Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Last.FM, and Mixcloud. A small pressing of eco-wallet promotional CDs will be available soon.


On top of releasing the 5 Years of Chillin’ comp, Bee is hosting a series of CD giveaway contests on The Chillcast in March and April, from artists including Nu Shooz, Balligomingo, and Karmacoda. Come join the celebration over at www.anjibee.com!
