The Chola- Home Is Where The House Is (HTML→MP3)

This month's podcast starts off with some pretty dramatic Latin influenced House music that is bound to energize you with its syncopation. I find myself tapping my toes and dancing in my seat every time I listen to it. After the initial dose of Latin flavor, a great selection of jazzy and funky vocal house is the special of the day. The set wraps up with some very sexy vocal tunes with a distinct R&B influence. Tracklist is available at http://chola.podomatic.com.

The Chola- Jazz Steppin' (HTML)

I decided to switch gears a bit for this month's "Chill with The Chola" podcast 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.

Genres: dnb, downtempo, drum & bass, drum and bass, drum and bossa, drum n bass, jazz, jazz step, latin, nu-jazz

The Chola- Back To The Lounge (HTML)

After taking a two month hiatus from the loungey side of chillout, I decided it was time to get back to the roots of the "Chill with The Chola" podcast 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 in the coolest of hipster lounges. Heck, I even dug it last night while I was reading a book! It is an all around great set for lounging out. For tracklistings, please visit http://chola.podomatic.com
