  • Read It And Weep
    One of the funniest podcasts out there

    If you're like me you hate things that suck, and there are a lot of things that suck out there in the world. Thankfully, Read It And Weep is there to dish it out to the crappy pop fiction that deserve it the most. Twilight, The Lost Symbol... The Notebook.... They all had it coming. Listen and enjoy!

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 downtempo podcast is the second installment of Datapusher's wildly popular "Dubventure." There was a huge response to the first episode and I am glad that Datapusher has decided to put together another mix for us. 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 responded..."I was shooting with a '12 gauge pump action' for bass heavy, mid tempo breaks tracks, bridging the gap between downtempo and bassline style breaks." Well, I would say that he has certainly accomplished that!This set reminds me of those "eyes-half-opened" after-parties spent in dark dens after a full night of clubbing. It is a moody journey in to the sofa surfing universe.Somewhere between full blown breaks or house music, and, what we might consider "downtempo," there is an extremely intelligent sub-genre of music created almost exclusively for "the transition." This music is not quite the club music that you were dancing to earlier in the evening, or, the more acoustic sub-genres of downtempo/ chillout that you want to enjoy when you awake, have a beer, and start that BBQ on a Sunday. However, it certainly serves a distinct purpose and there are some amazing artists working in this realm.This is a sub-genre of downtempo music that I hardly touch these days. Datapusher can still rock the dance floors, I stick to playing sets for the couches, dinners, and bedrooms. :) Datapusher starts his set off with an extremely "busy" set of tracks and slowly moves you towards a calmer place. When the set ends, the stereo almost begs you to wake up, put on some bossa, nujazz, or funk, and, get that BBQ started. Great job Datapusher! Enjoy,Chola Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Vibesquad - Dome Piece 02. Manitee Club - Someday (Lawgiverz Remix) 03.Vibesquad - Kaleidoscone 04. Dr. Toast - Logico 05. Mauxuam - Ulezak Snakebite 06. Good Budha - Party Reserve (Tipper Remix) 07.

Journey Into Space Music 11-05-09
11/6/2009 | Download File (74.47 MB)
This month I decided it was time for me to explore one of my favorite styles of ambient music... "SPACE MUSIC." Now I know that my "Space Traveler Series" touches on the spacey side of ambient music, however, those episodes are still very much tempo driven. This month's downtempo podcast is comprised of music all but devoid of true tempo. The songs are much more freeform for the most part, only really driving tempos using arpeggiators or rhythmic sound. Space Music creates massive soundcapes that invoke mental imagery of far away worlds, stars, and nebulae. I have been a fan of Space Music since I was a child. I think the first time I ever heard this style of music was during a car ride home from the beach while listening to "Hearts of Space" on NPR... I was fascinated with it. I have tinkered with my own space music throughout the years and decided to include an original, improvisational piece of music that I created and recorded on the fly for this podcast. Here is a link to download my song free of charge... Download Here. While I am certainly an amateur at producing this wonderful music, I must say that it is an amazing experience to sit down to a keyboard and create it on the fly. Surrounded by LED's, LCD's, blinky lights, sliders, knobs... it almost feels as if you are piloting your own spacecraft through a universe of sound that you are creating with your own creative mind. I have a real appreciation for just how complicated it is to control so many timbers, morphing between sounds, tempos (or lack thereof,) keys... worlds... all the while keeping it all together, in a freeform flow of consciousness. Composers like Serrie, Gulan, Brennan, etc are true masters of this craft. I invite you to put on a pair of headphones, turn off the lights, lay down, hit play... and drift away in to a wonderful universe of sound. Don't worry, you will be back home in a little over 80 minutes. ;) Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Altus- For All Time 02. Kendall Station- Tether 03. Ulrich Schnauss- In Between the Years 04. Andrew Lahiff- Static Neon Flow 05. Gulan- The Black Hole 06. Jonn Serrie- Stratos 07. Chad Helenthal- Ambient Space Unknown 08. Thom Brennan- Raingardens Are you a Facebook user?

Oh yaaaaa! The drink of the day... it is something I am looking so forward to. For those of you that have ever been on a cruise, you completely understand how fun the "drink of the day" can be, and this month's downtempo podcast is inspired by just that. You see, I have an upcoming vacation that I am excited about. I am not taking a cruise (this time) but, we are going to carry over that wonderful idea to our trip in to unspoiled Florida. Good scenery, good fun, good drinks, and good company... who could ask for more? Well I guess me, because a good soundtrack to listen to while sipping the drink of the day is always a good idea. That is what this month's set is all about. It is leisure time! :) You are going to find a menagerie of music styles in this month's podcast. Jazz, Salsa, Bossanova (you know I love the bossas,) downtempo, chillout, funk... it is quite diverse. Is it cocktail hour yet? Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Nickodemus- Conmigo ft. Sammy Ayala & The Candela Allstars 02. Belladonna- Bossa Esfera 03. Milano Jazz Dance Combo- Sam Blues 04. Clarisse Albrecht- Voce Me Da´ 05. Crystal Stafford- My Secret 06.

Good Evening Space Travelers 2009 08-07-09

This month's podcast is a continuation of my "Space Traveler" series and is once again dedicated to the folks over at Lounge Radio. I try to add an episode to this series every year and I figured it was time to slow things down, and, bring out the deeper side of downtempo for this month's show. I took a trip to Berlin in July and had an amazing time. I had the opportunity to visit a few clubs, lounges, and bars. It really seems that Germans love their Minimal Electronica. I was pretty surprised just how much that trip influenced my song selection this month. Almost inadvertently I found myself seeking out deeper, minimal types of music to mix along with ambient and chill out tunes. I am quite pleased with what came about from that subconscious decision. After listening to the complete episode, I am quite sure that Berlin has forever left its mark in my heart. This month's chillout podcast includes a wonderful selection of deeper chillout music, ambient, and what do you know... even a few minimal tunes. :) Enjoy! Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Vector Lovers- Rusting Cars & Wild Flowers 02. Marconi Union- Ginza District 03. Colt!- In Memory Of The Sun 04. The Black Dog- Train By The Autobahn (Part 1) 05. Mike Foyle & Augustine Leudar- De Bells Of Nafin 06. Krusseldorf- Insidious Doctor Mouse 07. Youandewan- 1988 08. Anomy- Arabian Coffee 09. Klangzeit- Deepdive 10. Marter- Potsdamer Platz ft. Ayako Akashiba 11. Sundayman- Iambic Seahorses 12. Mario Masullo & Andrea Gabriele- Few Birds 13. Astrid Suryanto- Distant Bar 14. Mike Foyle- Shipwrecked (Chill Out Mix) Are you a Facebook user?

Jazz Steppin' 2009 05-01-09
5/1/2009 | Download File (62.59 MB)
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 stumble across some great artists still producing music with a softer, more "musical" sound. Heavy DNB is fine for doing some serious "dancing" or for working out. However, the jazzier stuff is what I want for sofa surfing and just chilling out. ;) > By the way, I just wanted to invite everyone that uses Facebook to join the Chill With The Chola group by clicking HERE. If you are a Myspace user you can find me HERE. Here is this month's tracklist... 01. Galapago- La Maquina y Yo 02. Sardi- Primavera 03. Zuco 103- Volta (Bossacucanova Remix) 04. Dan Marshall- Fools Paradise 05. The Funktastics- Crocodile Skin 06. Bazeado- Segunda Feira (Bungle Remix) 07. Mutt- She Likes It 08. Shapeshifter- Equinox 09. The Amalgamation Of Soundz- 63rd Suite 10. Komatic- Untold Stories 11. Brother- Ever After 12. Phat Playaz- Down Town 13. Madmen & Poets- Afraid Of Jazz 15. Ror-Shak- Lisa's Song ft.
