Lovespirals ‘Feel So Good EP’ Out

Leave a comment

Lovespirals have just released a 40 minute, 9-track extended single of “Feel So Good,” from their 2010 album, Future Past. Last December, Sony Acid Planet held a remix contest for Lovespirals’ funky, Pink Floyd-esque, retro electro-rock tune, and over 40 producers put their own unique stamp on the original track. The Feel So Good EP features the very best of the bunch.

Stream the Feel So Good EP from Bandcamp:

There’s the slinky trip hop grooves of Yumenomado’s grand prize winning “Film Noir Mix” and Noizz Factor’s jazzy “Glamour Mix,” both of which have a decidedly organic feel. Or check out the more electronic oriented mixes by DJ Chris and National Pool, who rely more on loops and classic drum machine patterns. If you’re into heavy beats, then the Electer and 7 Day Visa mixes should fit the bill. Def Men Walking took the song in a completely different direction with the addition of MC work and an old school Manchester feel. And then there’s Jack Ketch’s “Peckaries Parts 1, 2 & 3” which takes the song’s most Floydian elements and constructs an ode to the classic rock band that David Gilmour himself would likely chuckle over.

Anji Bee‘s soulful vocals hold the release together with their delicate balance of earthy sensuality and otherworldly ethereality, with each mix playing up different aspects. While some producers left the arrangement and vocal sound nearly untouched from Ryan Lum’s original mix, others played with sampling or pitch to use the voice more as a musical element.

This is a digital-only release available on most major online music stores including Bandcamp, linked below.

Thanks to all of the bands and producers that participated in the remix contest, as well as to our friend, Jamahl Richardson, for his 7 Day Visa remix. If you dig their remixes, be sure to check out their original music. Thanks also to Scott of ithinkitsnice for his amazing artwork.

Chillcast #277: Blessed

Leave a comment

I’ve been incredibly busy lately with lots of new music to promote, but still I must admit that I’m blessed. Last week I saw my favorite young tennis player, Ernests Gulbis, breeze through his 2nd ever tournament win here in Los Angeles, this weekend I celebrated my beloved hubby’s birthday, and next weekend is our 6th anniversary. Historically we’ve kept our relationship on the down low, but this year I decided to tell the world, and the lyrics to “Blessed” were born. You’ll hear that song this week, along with a host of jazzy and soulful downtempo and deep house. Enjoy!

Anji Bee on ‘Out Of The Past’ By GROOVEBLASTER

Leave a comment

The second full-length album by The Grooveblaster, Out Of The Past, was recently released via Bandcamp and other digital retailers.

Once again, producer Gerald Belsha enlisted Anji Bee (of Lovespirals) and Yasi Baby! of (Pacha Massive) to lend their lyrical and vocal talents to his retro-styled jazzy electronica. Anji is featured on the Philly soul styled “Put Some Music On (Good Times)” and the bittersweet pop gem “Smiling, while Yasi sings on the upbeat, funky “Dare” and the laid back “Lady Groove,” which debuted at #4 and spent 2 weeks on the Below Zero Beats Top 10 chart.

The 13 track album also features guest vocals by Berlin chanteuse, Jana Tarasenko, as well as a host of groove inducing instrumentals. “Stretch Out and Relax” featuring Jana debuted at #7 in the Below Zero Beats top 10. Instrumental cut, “It’s in Her Kiss,” was also featured on the recent Chillcast with Anji Bee: 5 Years of Chillin’ free compilation, alongside Bee’s own version of “Put Some Music On,” co-produced with her Lovespirals partner, Ryan Lum.

Bee had previous contributed to The Grooveblaster’s 2008 album, Cities, Streets, and Bebop Nights, on the tracks “Whole Wide World” and “Summer Days.”

Featuring several tracks with a few different female vocalists, the album creates a party vibe that anybody who appreciates the origins of a genre like hip-hop will certainly enjoy.

“Try To Forget” Lyrics

Leave a comment

“Try To Forget” – Lovespirals – 5 Years of Chillin’ (2011) + Love Me Leave Me LP (2013)

I’ve been thinking about my life

Wondering why its so filled with strife
Things should be easier than this
That is my wish, oh yes it is

Let’s get away
Just for today
Try to forget
Let’s get away
Just for today
Try to forget

When I lay in my bed at night
Wondering why nothing’s going right
Things should be easier than this
That is my wish, oh yes it is

Let’s get away
Just for today
Try to forget
Let’s get away

The Chillcast with Anji Bee: 5 Years of Chillin'
The Chillcast with Anji Bee: 5 Years of Chillin’

Just for today
Try to forget

Divided by the seasons
Divided by the tides
The days become the reasons
And the meanings of our lives
Divided by the seasons
Divided by the tides
The days become the reasons
And the meanings of our lives

Try to forget
Try to forget

— Anji Bee (BMI)

NOTE: This song was originally released under the Lovespirals moniker, but after work commenced on Anji’s debut solo album, the duo decided the single was a much better fit for ‘Love Me Leave Me’ than the next band album. The album version is subtly different than the compilation cut, as Anji and Ryan had upgraded their recording studio since the original recording, specifically in the effects chains. Listen closely for subtle differences in Anji’s vocal production, as well as the overall ambiance of the song.

Let’s really get this party started for the 5th Anniversary of The Chillcast with Anji Bee! This week I finally let you in on my big surprise; a free one hour compilation of chill tunes called 5 Years of Chillin’. Rather than play all the tunes in one set, I’m mixing a few of them in with other new releases and saving the rest for next week. I’m super excited to premier brand new song by my band Lovespirals AND a solo Anji Bee song!!!  I’m also hosting an AMAZING contest for Balligomingo this week! Too much good stuff, I tell ya.
