The Chola- Happy Hour For The Soul (HTML→MP3)

I think a lot of us have been overwhelmed by the darkness that tends to make its way in to our lives from time to time. As Americans, every time we turn on the TV lately, we seem to be reminded of it. A scary economy, a wild election year, loss of jobs, bad weather...WHATEVER... it seems to be everywhere. In this month's downtempo podcast, I have really worked to put together a show with songs that just put a smile on my face... I hope it does the same for each of you. Take some time this weekend, say a prayer for someone that needs it, do something nice for a complete stranger, snuggle with the one that you love most (it's SO good for the soul,) read a book, take a nap, pour a drink, listen to some positive music, and hang out with friends and family. Enjoy a "Happy Hour for the Soul," be happy, and remember, from darkness... comes light. This month's podcast is dedicated to Christopher "Casper" Venuti and the friends and family he leaves behind. I hope angels dig beatboxing as much as we did. I raise my glass of Vodka Soda with a Twist of Lemon... for you. For tracklist and more visit http://chola.podomatic.com

The Chola- Relax (HTML→MP3)

So this month I decided to put together a nice, relaxing, downtempo podcast featuring some fantastic new chillout tunes and artists.

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...

It is another hard-hitting, IDM/ Electronica, bass heavy, intelligent-glitch experiment in to the world below 130bpm's. When I asked Datapusher to explain what he was shooting for with this set, he... For tracklist and more visit http://chola.podomatic.com
