Anji Bee on New 7 Day Visa Album

The brand new 7 Day Visa album, Buenos Aires, includes one track featuring Anji Bee. “Que Quiero” is a lovely reworking of a Creative Commons collaboration with Moosefrog from 2007, originally titled “En la Oscuridad.” Jamahl Richardson of 7 Day Visa (and The Shanghai Restoration Project live band) created a completely new arrangement of Bee’s Spanish language lyrics set to his original music, which was inspired by his recent trip to the cosmopolitan capitol of Argentina. Wistful, dreamy, and sensual, this chillout tune is sure to set your mind wandering with memories of warm, lazy days filled with the vibrancy of Summer. Other special guests on this album include German Alejandro Pla, Joseph Allan Johnson, Matthew Szemela, and Lucas Cantor. You can check out “Mano y Mano (ft. Matthew Szemela)” on The Chillcast #224: Chill Favorites. 7 Day Visa also produced two excellent remixes for the recent Lovespirals release, Love EP, both of which you can download free from Lovespirals’ Bandcamp Page. You can also check out the Chillcast Artist of the Week feature on 7 Day Visa for the album, Tokyo, which includes a free download of “Sakura Stroll.”

Artist of the Week: 7 Day Visa

7 Day Visa is the musical project of electronica producer, Jamahl Richardson AKA Natural Fact. After having toured Japan with Chillcast regulars, The Shanghai Restoration Project, Richardson was inspired to create music based on his experiences in this new country. The result is an 8 song album, Tokyo, which truly brings to life the sounds of this magical city in musical form. It’s almost hard to believe these songs were created by an Oakland native living in Brooklyn! Not only is the music of this album totally engrossing — yet fairly laidback — but the accompanying artwork and website add even more to the experience. Be sure to read the “scrapbook” segment of 7dayvisa.com to learn more about each song’s inspiration — complete with gorgeous photography — and the “sights and sounds” section for additional video footage and photos set to a sampler of music from the album. Even more exciting is that this is just the first in a planned series of travel-related albums from 7 Day Visa, released on the Undercover Culture Music label (run by Dave Liang of Shanghai Restoration Project) . You can be sure you’ll be hearing more about those on upcoming episodes!

This week I scoured the Internet to bring you the very best brand new and recent releases, and I think you’re gonna enjoy this cool eclectic set. Included in this list are several free downloads, so rejoice! And speaking of free music, I have finally selected the lucky winner of the 8 CD contest, which I announce today. Plus lots of news, recommendations, announcements, promo codes, and good clean fun.

*update* I just read a very sad blog post by Jonatan Bäckelie (AKA “Ernesto”) about illegal downloading and its negative impact on not only his music but the entire chillout music scene. He is an incredibly talented artist and it is a damned shame to think he may give up hope on making music for a living.
