This week’s Chillcast boasts a much more energetic set than usual, even finishing up with a set of vocal trance – a real rarity for the show. There’s also a set of deep minimal and soulful deep house midway through, and a whole clutch of great new songs out of Sweden – including 2 brand [...]

This week the tie that binds my song selections together is the piano. It seems that a number of new songs have come my way with haunting piano melodies, and while a single piano song can stick out amidst my primarily electronica sets, when I started placing them all together, it was magic. I hope [...]

I’ve packed a lot of music into this 60 minute episode! After last week’s extended dance mix, I thought I’d bring things down a notch and focus in on lyrics this show. Towards the end I present a set of spoken word pieces, followed by 2 chopped up vocal remixes, but the rest are those [...]

This Labor Day weekend I present an extended 90 minute DJ mix for your listening pleasure. Primarily deep house of various styles, this set is upbeat yet chill, with a mix of vocal and instrumental tunes. There’s some brand new stuff in here, as well as a few tunes I’ve been holding on to for [...]

We’re coming back down to Earth this episode with a fantastic set that — once again — has a strong soulful bent. I start you out slowly with a little chillout, then bring in some nusoul and R&B, and then branch out into an array of genre blending electronica tunes. There are a lot of [...]

This week we explore some of the trippier new releases that I’ve been diggin’ but wasn’t sure how to fit in between chillout lounge and deep house. This is a chill set featuring intriguing vocals — many with interesting use of reverb or delay — and plenty of mood. The second half goes [...]

This week’s episode of The Chillcast is filled with magic! And much of that magic comes from a slew of lovely new chillout lounge albums sent in to the show. Today’s mix is so chillaxed that I didn’t want to break the mood, so look forward to floating away with the music without any jibber-jabber [...]

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 [...]

This week’s show is extra special for several reasons; I’m announcing the release of a brand new Lovespirals remix EP in honor of band founder Ryan Lum’s birthday and I’ve got a remix of the brand new Karmacoda single. So why did I call this episode “Rendezvous,” you ask? Well, because there were randomly 2 [...]

Today Monster and I bring you a very excellent show, replete with the World Premier of the brand new single from Karmacoda, appropriately titled “Epic.” The lovely Miss Heather Pierce even pops in for this very special occasion. As if that weren’t enough, we also have a great free download from the one and only [...]

There’s so  much great new music coming in for summer I had to really cram to get everything in this episode! And there was still more I wanted to play… This set is just perfect for summertime with warm, soulful vocals and a nice variety of grooves that evolve from chillout and nusoul to soulful [...]

As I was putting together this week’s playlist, I noticed that I had a plethora of male vocal tunes in the mix. As its historically been rather rare to hear male vocals in electronica, I thought I’d capitalize on this opportunity to features all male vocals this episode. And oh, what nice vocals they are! [...]

Its that time of the year when we Americans celebrate our independence and what better way to celebrate than with a fun, upbeat, extended dance mix? Whether you’ve got special 4th of July activities planned or you’re at your usual 9-5 here or somewhere else in the world, you are sure to enjoy the extra [...]

It is now officially summertime on my little part of the globe. Today was our first truly warm day, too. My precious cat, Monster, has been feeling much better, my heirloom tomato plants are producing their first ripe fruits, and things are generally looking pretty dang good! I thought I’d celebrate with an hour of [...]

Continuing on in a similar vein from last episode, this week I present a moody set of minimal tech house and other related styles. Most of the songs have wonderful vocals, though there is an instrumental or two, as well. I love the hints of soulfulness that kick in towards the end. Lots of brand [...]

This week’s episode is a bit darker than most, but still quite beautiful and filled with poignant vocals, heavy on the male side. Its dedicated to my elderly cat, Monster, whom I love like my own son. He was born in my house 18 years ago and has lived with me his whole life, so [...]

This week I’m finally announcing the winners of 3 recent contests here on The Chillcast. We’ll also be hearing tracks from Karmacoda, Grooveblaster and Pinku Vaaty, along with a host of brand new releases. Fairly heavy on the vocal chillout side of things, this episode also includes a dash of trance, minimal tech house, and [...]

This week finds the Chillcast back in fine form, despite all the chaos raging around me. Music always soothes my soul, and this week’s show certainly does the trick! From atmospheric chillout to soulful vocal house, this set of moody vocal tunes is precisely what the doctor ordered. If you haven’t already, do be sure [...]
