WANDERLUST BEATS

If you’ve been stricken with wanderlust and find yourself with no resources, let DJ Gilles Peterson lead you along a path less travelled, through the vibrant world of his record collection.

Inhabited by rare artists and smoothly mixed, his compilations coax you through the beats of bossa nova, soul, hip-hop, jazz, and funk. You could be introduced to a mysterious French singer crooning velvet tunes, or have Marya Josie tell you why He Does It Better.

You never know who you’ll meet.

WEEKEND CHILLOUT

Your iPod is full of surprises. Last week, you carelessly set it to shuffle and mid-candle lit dinner, Olivia Newton John began demanding that you get physical.

While you’re always open to suggestions, here to better maintain your evening’s mood are Anji Bee’s Chillcasts.

One half of the band, Lovespirals, and a former radio DJ, Anji Bee knows her tunes. Her sultry Southern Californian chillcasts present the best new podsafe music with a smooth mix of electronica, jazz, soul, and world music each week. We recommend relaxing with a cocktail after work to our favourite, “Chilled Chillout”.

If you fall in love with a particular song, Anji gives you a link where you can purchase it and, in some lucky cases, you’re able to download it for free.

So kick back this weekend to a mellow mix of internationally diverse downtempo, deep house, world beat and electro tunes to sooth your soul.
