The Chola- Textured Beats (HTML→MP3)

This month I have put together my own eclectic mix of old and new to come up with my own "vintage 45 sound." I have found some terrific brokenbeat, funk, and jazz as well as a couple of excellent mashups that will transport you back to more simple times. In fact, I even whipped together a couple mashups of my own for this one!" This show is all over the place, but, was quite fun to create and is bound to leave you with a smile on your face. Enjoy!

The Chola- It's Nu for You (HTML)

Nujazz, what a great umbrella term for such fantastic styles of music. It's smooth and sexy, funky and fun, and most importantly, emotional and expressive. It combines the progressions of traditional jazz music with the power and complexity of electronic music. This month's downtempo podcast is a seventy-six minute musical journey, during which, I explore a broad range of styles that make up Nu-Jazz. The mix starts with what feels like a late 70's/ early 80's flashback! The first three or four songs are... full description and track listing available at http://chola.podomatic.com

The Chola- Urban Cocktail Hour (HTML)

Take some smoothed out lounge music, add a splash of hip hop, and stir in a little jazz for mixer and you have got an "Urban Cocktail Hour!" If you like your cocktail hours loungy and your hip hop jazzy, you'll love this mix! For this month's mix, I found myself inspired to play music with a little more acid jazz and hip hop influence. I marked it "Explicit" because there are a few random curse words but it is far from offensive. There are plenty of sultry melodies, great vocals and smooth rapping to fill out this sexy hour long episode. Tracklist 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.

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
