Back To The Lounge 2009 06-09-09

Okay, it is time to bring things back home and slow the tempo down some again. This month I bring us "Back to The Lounge" with some great samba, bossanova, some awesome covers, and overall, just a loungey feel. Pour a martini and take a load off, it is time to chill out. I am planning a trip to Berlin in the very near future and would love some recommendations of lounges, bars, clubs, and record stores to visit with a jazz, downtempo, or lounge, influence. If any of my listeners from Germany ha...

Special Guest Mix: Datapusher- May DNB 05-22-09

My good friend Datapusher over at Trans:verse Records was cool enough to send over a mid month posting for May. His set is full of spacey drum 'n' bass... some with a jazz influence, some with a deeper, darker, edgier feel. Just in time for the Memorial Day weekend. Great Set! Enjoy! Here is the tracklist... 01. Atlantic Connection- Situations (Zero T Remix) 02. Break- Out Of Nowhere 03. Stress Level- Waves (Survival Remix) 04.

Jazz Steppin' 2009 05-01-09

So this month I decided it was time to finally follow up 2007's Jazz Steppin' episode with another dose of chilled out drum and bass. Jazz Steppin' is really about kicking up the tempo a bit but still maintaining a chilled out vibe. Lots of jazz, r&b, samba, and funk combined with intelligent drum and bass music. A lot of Drum n Bass is hard and edgy these days. It seems that you really have to dig to find the jazzier stuff which is a real shame. However, spend some time digging and you will st...

Urban Cocktail Hour 2009 02-10-09

Well I hate to say it... it is unfortunate... but the fact of the matter is that every podcaster comes to a point where he has a creative block. Moments become hours, hours become days, days become weeks... etc, etc, etc. As an avid podcast subscriber, I have always hated when a DJ misses a show... don't they know that we are waiting, patiently waiting, to listen to what they will bring us next? I hate when they do that... oh wait, I am guilty of just that! I am indeed sorry. I did not post a ...

Best of 2008 12-10-08

Wow! This year has flown by. It seems like just yesterday that I was struggling to compile the "Best of 2007." As tough as that was, compiling the Best of 2008 was an even larger undertaking. I have such an emotional connection with so much of the music that I pick for this show, that going back through it all is almost like time traveling back to the feelings that I was experiencing that particular month. It is a pretty cool experience, but, an exhausting one at the same time. After perusing t...

Bossa Chola 2008 11-11-08

It has been more than a year since the original "Bossa Chola" episode and I am pleased to say that I have finally created a sequel to one of my most highly regarded episodes. I was very happy to see a huge selection of Bossas, both new and old, available on just about every major MP3 outlet online. This is quite a change from the last time I decided to put together a show dedicated entirely to bossanova which required a huge ammount of time digging through old cd's and compilations. November 20...

Happy Hour For The Soul 10-02-08

Sour... yea, the last month has left a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for so many positive things in my life that overall, I feel pretty good. However, the loss of an old friend and two family friends this month has been a little overwhelming. That being said, I heard a lyric in a song in this month's downtempo podcast that yanked me right out my melancholy madness. To quote Matsi... "my cup isn't half full, it's overflowing."

Hello everyone, I have a very exciting Special Guest Mix this month for your listening pleasure. Chris Lindsey from Slackline Radio was nice enough to put together a fantastic mix for the "Chill with the Chola" podcast entitled "Urban Sensibility". The mix is chock full of tasty hip hop influenced, "urban downtempo," and is almost a full hour of relaxing bliss. If you are not familiar with Slackline Radio, well, then you have not been doing your downtempo homework now have you? :) Slackline Rad...

Relax 09-02-08

Soooo, this month I decided to put together a nice, relaxing, downtempo podcast featuring some fantastic new chillout tunes and artists. I have found myself a little on edge the last 3-4 weeks because I am in the middle of Hurricane Central (Florida.) I really needed some music to chill out too! :) I started digging for music for this episode weeks ago and found a TON of chillout, downtempo, ambient, trip hop, acid jazz, etc. I played around with the set quite a...

Well I am back after taking a month off from the podcast and have decided to post August's podcast a few days early. Thanks again to Datapusher for covering me last month. This month's downtempo podcast was inspired in part by my girlfriend's upcoming move to downtown Orlando. She found a killer deal on a "deluxe apartment in the sky," and, she is looking forward to being in the heart of the city. I...

Well it looks like Datapusher over at Trans:verse Records must have enjoyed slowing down the tempo on his decks for the "Chill With The Chola" podcast because he has sent over a sequel to his Dubventure downtempo mix! This works out perfect for me because I would have really been pushing things to try to get a new podcast out by the ninth. Keep your eyes open for a set mid month by "yours truly," I will try my best to deliver one to you. If not, I will see you next month. ;) This month's downte...

Woohoo! The last month has been a BUSY one! I finally got some time to put together this month's podcast over the weekend so, I just barely made my deadline. :) This month's downtempo podcast features NU Funk music from a variety of artists from around the world. While I was researching this month's selections, I was surprised to find out that Australia has a flourishing funk scene and artists that are regularly releasing awesome tunes.

This month I am kicking off a new idea for the "Chill with The Chola" podcast, an exclusive mix by a guest DJ released mid-month! While I do not plan for this to be a consistent thing, from time to time, I would like to feature guest DJ's by posting their mixes between regular episodes of the podcast. To get things started, my good friend Datapusher from Trans:verse Records and NuBreaks.com has dialed down the typical tempo on his decks to bring us an exclusive downtempo mix that he recorded li...

Textured Beats 05-02-08

This month's podcast is dedicated to the TextureDJs who produce one of my favorite podcasts anywhere, "Transatlantic Grooves." The TextureDJs play some of the most eclectic genres of music from brokenbeat, to jazz, to funk. Their sets seem to be somewhere between old and new, full of warm vintage charm, almost as if you were listening to your old 45's. Unfortunately the TextureDJs seem to be M.I.A. ;) Last I have heard, "A few trips to Kenya have gotten in the way of regular podcasting." I hope...

Listener Supported 04-02-08

In the past year I have been given the opportunity to seek out independent artists and labels that I dig, and, to try to give them the credit that they truly deserve by hopefully providing a medium that they can use to expose the world to what they do best. While my doors are always open, last month I put out an "open call" for independent artists to submit their music AND, for listeners to recommend artists that I might enjoy. I had a great response and this month's show has been defined by th...

Good Morning Space Travelers 02-08-08

This podcast is dedicated to my friends over at http://www.lounge-radio.com/ and is the second installment of my "Space Traveler" series. You can check out the first installment HERE. This month I decided it was time to get back to my roots and dive in to a more progressive side of downtempo music. I am a HUGE fan of deep, Progressive House/ Breakbeat music and I have been for over a decade. It is nice to see that a lot of what make progressive music, well, "progressive," is also utilized qui...

Hopefully the cool sounds of nujazz, broken beat, and hip-hop in this month's podcast will lift your spirit some if you are indeed feeling a bit down about returning to work. :) This month's episode is quite special... it marks the 1st birthday of the "Chill With The Chola" podcast.

Well here it is... Chill With The Chola's "Best of 2007!" Let me tell you, it was not an easy task to compile 76 minutes worth of favorites from a year of fantastic music. I mean let's face it, I put my heart and soul in to picking the coolest tunes each month, so, choosing the "pick of the litter" was an exhausting process. This month's episode is a great synopsis of exactly what this show is all about. I cover all of the styles of music that I love so much. From lounge to bossanova, to house ...

Home Is Where The House Is

For the last couple of months I have really wanted to put together a show that featured some cool downtempo House music to really round off the year and come full circle. My January 2007 show featured some great Chicago, Latin, and Deep House tunes and I really wanted to get back to some of that. So this month I have switched gears a bit compared to the last couple of month's podcasts which have featured a lot of lounge, bossa nova, downtempo, etc. However, this is a very chilled out set which i...

Oktoberfest Im Aufenthaltsraum 10-09-07

Wow, I am running late on posting this month's episode. Officially I give myself until the 9th of every month to post the episode and I needed every bit of that this month. As I said in last month's episode, I trained for an MS150 and rode the 150+ mile event September 29-30th. The bike ride ran on A1A for a portion of the ride which left us exposed and vulnerable to 30+ mph wind gusts, rain, sand, salt, and Red Tide being blown in to our faces. The experience left me sick and weak, but, I am ...

After taking a two month hiatus from the loungey side of chillout, I decided it was time to get back to the roots of this show and head "Back to the Lounge!" Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed creating the last two podcasts, but, there really is something about jazzy bossa novas, sambas, and acid jazz that bring a smile to my face. This set really has a kind of "summer feel" to it. It is the perfect mix to throw on while chilling out by the pool with some cocktails but it could also be played i...

Wow, what a month! In this episode I decided to slow things down a bit and really explore those great synthetic landscapes and atmospheres that so many talented artists have created for us. While the show is certainly much dreamier than normal, it is far from ambient. It is very spacey and has that "big Progressive sound" that I love so much! It is full of rich harmonic melodies and has plenty of rhythm throughout the set, albeit not in the forefront of most of these arrangements. There are s...

Jazz Steppin' 06-01-07

I decided to switch gears a bit for this month's show by exploring some sub-genres of Drum 'n' Bass music. I am a firm believer in the idea that tempo is just a small part of what makes a piece of music appropriate for chilling out. More important is a piece of music's rhythm, melody, and its ability to create a mental picture or a sense of well being. This month's episode is a perfect example of that idea. I was a huge fan of Drum 'n' Bass in the late 90's. The music seemed worlds away from th...

Chillin' with The chola

I just wrapped up my first mix for 2007 and it's "so me"... smooth and chilled out! :) This mix is very jazzy and has a mixture of styles but there is definitely an underlying latin influence to it. There are plenty of sax's, funky bass lines, smoothed out rhodes... you know the deal. There are also house, disco, and funk influences in it too. This is definitely a lounge experience!I really love the fusion of styles and this is the kind of stuff that I actively seek out. Not just the music, but,...
