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!

Singer/songwriter, Paul Mac Innes, is the focus of this week’s special Chillcast artist feature. Paul and I chat about all of his various musical projects and collaborations as we peruse his catalog of tunes from 2005 to the present day. As an extra special treat, Paul shares a brand new unreleased Psaul project track with us. Paul and his projects, Favorite Flava and Psaul, are all very generous with their music, so be sure to check out the legal free downloads linked to in the show notes. And if you dig those tunes, be sure to purchase more music to support the artists.
This week I present my second artist feature with San Francisco band, Karmacoda. This time around we actually met up in Chillcast studio to chat live and in-person about their 4th album, Eternal, released last month. We had a really great time, which I think you’ll be able to hear in our conversation. Since we already got into the band’s history and past releases in my 2007 Chillcast Karmacoda artist feature, this time we focused solely on their new material. I close out the show with the premier of their brand new live acoustic recording of “Feel The Weight” — watch for the video on the next Chillcast Video!
The Cyber PR site posted a new interview with Anji Bee called New Media Pioneer: The Chillcast with Anji Bee. Heather Smith asked Anji about her shows The Chillcast and Chillin’ with Lovespirals, as well as the concept of Podsafe music, and more.
“The Sexiest Voice in Podcasting” Anji Bee of the Chillcast talks about the show and her double life as both podcaster and musician.
The Chillcast features a sexy and sophisticated mix of calming, chill podsafe music, hosted by Anji Bee. The station plays a blend of Electronica, Jazz, Soul, and New Age music.
This week I present a special one-hour interview feature on my band, Lovespirals. My partner, Ryan Lum, and I sit down to discuss our brand new 4th album, Future Past, and give an overview of the band’s decade-long history. We’ll be sharing every song on the album as we chat about our writing and recording process including our musical influences, album concepts, and the various stories surrounding our songs and albums. Really hope you enjoy the feature, and if you’d like to hear more interviews with us, follow the Lovespirals Mixcloud account!
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.
As promised, this week I present a special artist feature on loopmaster extraordinaire, The Grooveblaster. Gerry and I spoke via phone about his long musical history and the process of creating his new album, Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights. He shares lots of really interesting stories, and coupled with the tunes, I think this feature will give you a nice portrait of the man behind the music. Warning: I do a say a few naughty words and play a few non-podsafe songs…
I am very pleased to bring you a special feature on the wonderful new album by Science for Girls, the recording project of Darren Solomon featuring a host of talented male and female vocalists including Boots Ottestad, Bronwen Exter, Hugh Wilson, Jean Rohe, Paul Brill, Renee Colongne, and William Rottman. Darren and I sat down for a nice half hour chat about his exceptional debut independent CD and share some of the music with you guys. Hope you enjoy it!
The PodfinderUK blog posted a Mini-Interview with The Chillcast’s Anji Bee this week. Topics include the origin of both The Chillcast and Chillin’ with Lovespirals podcasts, my favorite podcasts and vidcasts, what I wanted to be when I was a child, the most “significant thing” to happen to me as a result of podcasting, and future plans for my shows. PodfinderUK is a great little “best of” style vidcast starring Josephine Laurence presenting an eclectic mix of vidcast and podcast clips from all over the podosphere.
