First Friday just came outta nowhere today! Guess Memorial Day shortened our week right up, didn’t it? Well, if you’re anything like me, you need to catch your breath for a minute. Today’s set is both chill and uplifting, if you can imagine that. Nowhere near as spacey as usual, but not exactly a dance set, either, I think I’ve struck that perfect “kick back” vibe to get your weekend started off right. Cruise over to my SoundCloud page for the playlist with free downloads from this set: https://soundcloud.com/chillcast/sets…
Another First Friday is upon us! And I could really use some chill time. This month I checked in with Co-Sign (www.co-sign.com/) who are promoting some great albums right now. Consequently there’s a lot more album cuts this mix than bootleg remixes and underground artists from Soundcloud. I also grabbed a few cuts from Bandcamp from old friends of the show. As always, the vibes start out slow and sexy and build steam as the hour goes. Lots of great vocals this set, a nice mix of genres, and a catchy cover/remix of Drake to cap it all off. 😛
Get lost in the vibes of today’s chill af First Friday mix. So many good vocal tunes in this set with hooks for days. And beats? Yeah, I got ’em. This is truly a classic Chillcast Mix with everything I really love. There’s a couple of paid Bandcamp tracks in here but the bulk of this playlist is available free on Soundcloud. Check my playlist over there for the links:
After noticing all the retro music in Netflix production of 13 Reasons Why, I was inspired to create a mixtape of 13 songs from my own High School experience. I’ve never really looked back fondly on this painful time of life, and it’s often been hard to hear the music which embodied this confusing era for me. But there’s no denying how beautiful and gut wrenching these songs are, even several decades later. It’s been awhile since my last non-Chillcast mixtape. Let me know if you enjoyed this odd trip down memory lane, and I’ll consider doing it again with a different musical theme.
Trying to get back on that First Friday show schedule for you guys… I’ve got some great new tunes from SoundCloud and related download sites that I think will get you in the weekend chillzone. A few of these are leftovers from my Valentine’s Day search, but a couple just dropped this week. You can grab individual downloads care of my SoundCloud playlist at: https://soundcloud.com/chillcast/sets/
My first mix for 2017 features 10 brand new tracks culled from SoundCloud. Even the 2016 tracks are pretty recent. As always I start it out slow and sexy, building up the vibes as we go along. Lots of future beats and bass with plenty of hip hop and r&b vibes and a splash of pop EDM. There’s a couple remixes, notably Tarro’s mix of THEY. a fun remix of Ed Sheeran’s new hit, and a killer mashup by Autograf in honor of Pres Obama. Lots of vocal based tunes today — and it’s def NSFW. Have a great weekend, peeps and happy new year to ya!
What were my most listened to tracks on 2016? I count down my top 20 tunes, most of which have been featured on the show previously. I made sure not to play the same artist or remixer twice to spread the love around. Gotta say, this was an excellent year for music and not all of my faves made the cut. I figured letting iTunes tell me what I actually played most was the most democratic way to put this badboy together. There’s a lot of moody tracks in here, with sexy beats and sensual grooves, some with full vocals and others not. We’ve got a couple remixes and plenty of original songs. I hope you dig it as much as I do! See you in 2017.

As promised, I put together a one-hour special feature on my debut solo album, ‘Love Me Leave Me.’ Let me guide you through the album song by song, sharing my behind-the-music stories, as well as early recordings, demo, and remixes. Come get up close and personal with me!
It is with great pleasure that I present a very special 1-hour interview feature on Swedish singer/songwriter/producer, Ernesto! He just released his 4th full-length album, Suffice Suffice, and I’m excited to share songs from this highly personal artistic effort with you. As a huge fan of his work, it was a joy to speak with him about his musical background, songwriting and recording history, personal beliefs, and the process of putting this album together. Jonatan is quite intelligent and well spoken, as well as an incredibly talented songwriter and soulful singer, so you are in for a treat!
