Anji Bee Celebrates Dave’s Lounge 10th Anniversary

Its the 10th Anniversary of Dave’s Lounge, the chillout, trip hop and downtempo show of my long time friend, Dave Warner.  We met online back in the good ole days of Mp3.com, and met in person years later in Las Vegas at the 2008 New Media Expo. We’ve both hosted each other’s podcast for fun, and helped promote each others shows and music regularly. Its hard to believe time has flown by so quickly over the past decade. Celebrating Dave’s 10th year reminds me that The Chillcast will be 10 next January, too. Wow! This episode of the Lounge is a trip down memory lane, with many songs I haven’t heard in awhile, including the wonderful Soul Whirling Somewhere remix of my own song, “This Truth,” by my band, Lovespirals.

Take a listen and be sure to give Dave a comment over at his site:

Chillcast #305: Female Vox

Boy did this week fly by! I’ve been super duper busy, working on a bunch of new music with various collaborators. I don’t have anything to share with you yet but if you’re into my work, please follow me over at facebook.com/anjibeemusic to keep up with all the latest news. There’s been a lot of really nice releases featuring female vocals coming in lately, so I thought I’d just focus in on some of those in this week. I’m spanning quite a few genres yet again, but I keep it pretty chill for the most part. 7 of these tracks are free downloads; check the links below. Enjoy!

Karmacoda Single Features Anji Bee + Beth Hirsch

San Francisco band, Karmacoda, recently released the first single from their upcoming fourth album, Eternal. “Love Will Turn Your Head Around” is multi-artist collaboration featuring vocals and lyrics by — not only Anji Bee — but also one of her musical idols, Beth Hirsch, who was famously featured on Air’s hit album Moon Safari. “Love Will Turn Your Head Around” debuted at #3 on the Below Zero Top 10 chart for April 17th, and has been featured on the Pure Bliss Vocals site, Dave’s Lounge, Properly Chilled, SomaFM’s Lush station, Kimberly Wilson’s Tranquility du Jour, The Mothpod, Expand Your Musical Horizons, and of course, The Chillcast, where is was first premiered.

You can purchase the Love Will Turn Your Head Around Single on iTunes. It includes the original 6 and a half minute version, plus a radio edit. Karmacoda’s album, Eternal, is due out August 2nd, 2011.

You can also listen to the single on YouTube, Spotify, and other digital music services.

Chillcast Artist of the Month: Lovespirals

Lovespirals is the musical project of musician, Ryan Lum, and vocalist, Anji Bee – your humble Chillcast hostess… We’ve just released our 4th full-length album, Future Past, on our own label, Chillcuts. A limited edition 6 panel eco-friendly digipac was pre-released over the 2009 winter holiday via the Lovespirals webstore, where Ryan and I personally autograph CDs by request from fans — and as a special treat, we have been including a free high-quality mp3 download with all CD sales for instant listening gratification. The official release of Future Past, however, was January 1, 2010 when it launched on iTunes and Amazon.

Our first single is the bittersweet downtempo pop song, “Shine,” which premiered on The Chillcast and has been featured on podcasts and Internet radio stations including Dave’s Lounge, Groovera, Soma FM, and Tranquility Du Jour. “Shine” also garnered “Best Female Vocals” and “Song of the Day” awards from the Garageband music site. Beth Hirsch, reknown for her vocal work on the classic Air album, Moon Safari, called the song’s chorus “unforgettable,” going on to say, “Future Past is easily one of the best chill out albums to welcome in 2010. The album is sexy, moody, bluesy, ethereal – pure Lovespirals”.

Many have said the album sounds like Air and Zero 7, though Chillout Scene blog pointed out, “I think Ryan’s bluesy guitar playing is what makes them unique and even more interesting than Zero 7 since they don’t just stick to acoustic guitar parts and electronic drum and bass tracks.” Music Tap further enthused, “With Manzarek-like keyboards, a masterful bluesy guitar, and an angelic voice, the 11 tracks that you’ll find on this magnificent surprise are not to be missed. Future Past is their masterpiece work to date.”

Stream all of Future Past free from Last.FM who also offer a free download of “Shine”

Dave’s Lounge Chillcast Sneak Attack

I just put together special half hour “Chillcast Sneak Attack” episode of the popular weekly downtempo podcast, Dave’s Lounge. I thought it would be fun to surprise the very busy Dave this week with a few underground hits from some of the music sites we used to haunt back in the infancy of the online music community. This 6 song episode includes tracks by Captain Ginger, Elekoustic, EchoVent, Misnomer, Sudaka, and Bitstream Dream.

This is the 2nd time I have guest hosted the show. My first time was back in 2006 for Dave’s Lounge #46. In return, Dave guest hosted Chillcast #13.

Home from the New Media Expo in Vegas

I am back, safe and sound, from my roadtrip to Vegas for the New Media Expo. It was great to see CC and some of the folks I’d met at expos past and some that hadn’t been to the expo yet, like Cybster DJ, Dave of Dave’s Lounge and Ariel of Cyber PR. Ryan and I will be sure to do a new episode of Chillin’ with Lovespirals soon so we can share some tales of our trip!
