After 3 years of podcasting, I have decided that it is time to bring this project to an end and focus on other projects. I have enjoyed producing the podcast, but, I have to admit that my heart has not been fully in to producing the monthly show for some time now. I continue to enjoy downtempo music and I intend to release mixes from time to time, just not on Podomatic.com, not on a monthly basis, and not under the “Chill with The Chola” name. An ARCHIVE of the entire Chill with The Chola podcast has been brought online over at Definitive Downtempo so that you may access old episodes. Any future releases that I make will also be available on that site under the “Definitive Downtempo” title and category. - Source Site:http://www.definitivedowntempo.com Thu, 04 Mar 2010 13:31:56 -0600 http://www.definitivedowntempo.com/2009/12/best-of-2009-12-17-09/ For those of you that are regular listeners here at the Chill with The Chola podcast, you know that the "Best of" shows are a culmination, and celebration, of a year's worth of great music. For some of you that may just be joining us, the "Best Of" shows are a great way to get an idea of what this podcast is all about.

The Urban Cocktail Hour is about celebrating the music inspired by the big city... jazz, funk, lounge, downtempo, jazzy hip hop... it is all here. If this set does not get your head bobbin,' I am not sure what will. I hope that you will enjoy this month's podcast with your favorite libations.

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 through my catalog of downtempo, chillout, bossas/ sambas, and lounge tunes from the past year, I chose my favorites from each episode...

It’s varied mix of beats this time starting at the down-tempo end of the scale with a recent Flying Lotus remix and a new cut from King Midas Sound on Hyperdub (cheers to J for the tip-off on that one). Steadily cranking up the BPM through the 7 Samurai on German imprint, Poets Club and an older, but timeless jam by Boxcutter. I decided on a DnB rush for the finish line with a smooth number from top Californian beathead, Tyler Straub (many thanks for that, buddy. Keep up the good work!), an epic from Apex and to wind things up one of my favourite records of 2008 from London Elektricity. Hope y’all dig it - Source Site:http://www.focuz.eu/episode-003/ Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:49:35 -0600 http://www.definitivedowntempo.com/2008/11/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 2008 brings you another installation of smooth bossanova and samba with a twist of lime. This podcast is a mixture of classics as well as neuvo bossa nova that is sure to completely mellow you out. If I had to personify lounge music with one style, it would definitely be with Bossa Nova. This is a perfect mix to play while enjoying your favorite martini with friends.

I was feeling like a broken-beat, nu-jazz affair this time around so I dug out some more up-tempo beats - some new, some old, all slick.

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.

Each mix is carefully selected from around the globe and well off the beaten track. So here’s the debut mix. To kick things off it’s an early-autumn, hip-hop, nu-jazz mash-up. The end result is a varied mix of tracks - some new, some I’ve had for a while. A laid-back mix and a low-key launch - no fuss, just good beats.

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.

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...
