December 17, 2009 10:36The_Chola_Best_of_2009_121709 First off, my apologies for the delay in posting the “Best of 2009” podcast. A bad case of bronchitis really took the wind out of my sails (and my lungs for that matter.) Since I am already so late in posting this episode, I am going to forgo my typical “Best of the Best” … Continue reading Best of 2009 12-17-09
Journey Into Space Music 11-05-09
November 06, 2009 13:15The_Chola_Journey_in_to_Space_Music_110509 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 … Continue reading Journey Into Space Music 11-05-09

SPECIAL GUEST MIX: Datapusher- Easy DNB
July 31, 2009 15:06DATAPUSHER_EASYDNB Datapusher was good enough to send over another excellent Drum and Bass mix just in time for the weekend.

Be sure to check … Continue reading SPECIAL GUEST MIX: Datapusher- Easy DNB

June 09, 2009 09:48The_Chola_Back_To_The_Lounge_2009_060909 Okay, it is time to bring things back home and slow the tempo down some again.

May 22, 2009 12:09Datapusher-MAY_DNB My good friend Datapusher over at Trans:verse Records was cool enough to send over a mid month posting for May.

Jazz Steppin’ 2009 05-01-09
May 01, 2009 10:13The_Chola_Jazz_Steppin_2009_050109 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 … Continue reading Jazz Steppin’ 2009 05-01-09

Urban Cocktail Hour 2009 02-10-09
February 11, 2009 11:42The_Chola_Urban_Cocktail_Hour_2009_021009 Well I hate to say it… it is unfortunate… but the fact of the matter is that every podcaster comes to a point where he has a creative block. Moments become hours, hours become days, days become weeks… etc, etc, etc. As an avid podcast subscriber, I have always hated when a DJ … Continue reading Urban Cocktail Hour 2009 02-10-09

December 10, 2008 13:37The_Chola_Best_of_2008_120908 Wow! This year has flown by.

October 03, 2008 06:32The_Chola_Happy_Hour_For_The_Soul_100208 Sour… yea, the last month has left a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth.

July 01, 2008 16:12Datapusher_Dubventure2_070208 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!

Listener Supported 04-02-08
April 02, 2008 18:14The_Chola_Listener_Supported_040208 In the past year I have been given the opportunity to seek out independent artists and labels that I dig, and, to try to give them the credit that they truly deserve by hopefully providing a medium that they can use to expose the world to what they do best.

October 09, 2007 08:35The_Chola_Oktoberfest_im_Aufenthaltsraum_100107 Wow, I am running late on posting this month’s episode.

August 01, 2007 11:37The_Chola_Back_To_The_Lounge_080107 After taking a two month hiatus from the loungey side of chillout, I decided it was time to get back to the roots of this show 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, … Continue reading Back to the Lounge 08-01-07

Jazz Steppin’ 06-01-07
June 01, 2007 12:53The_Chola_JazzSteppin_060107 I decided to switch gears a bit for this month’s show 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, … Continue reading Jazz Steppin’ 06-01-07
Bossa Chola 05-01-07
April 27, 2007 14:54The_Chola_BossaChola_050107 As the name of this month’s podcast may “elude,” I have decided to put together a complete show featuring songs from “newer” Bossa Nova/ Samba artists. There is certainly something perfect about these downtempo genres for chilling out! While I am fond of all types of Latin music, to me, Bossanova and Samba are … Continue reading Bossa Chola 05-01-07
