Lift Me Up

The_Chola_Lift_Me_Up

I needed a little break from the downtempo mixes and my podcast so I decided to put together a House mix featuring some uptempo, positive music.

I was surprised to hear a kind of “flashback” 90’s influence in a lot of new House releases. Some of the new tunes sound a lot like “classic,” or “old-school” songs and are reminiscent of music you would hear in the mid 90’s at clubs like “The Edge,” “Aahz,” “Cloud 9,” and even early Firestone. Fun times!

Big “housey piano lines”, disco like melodies and powerful vocals are the “special of the day” as this mix starts and then it fades in to more of an electro feel towards the end. It is full of energy, positive vibes, and reminds me of days when dance floors were packed with people dancing, throwing their hands in the air, and singing every word of the House anthems of the time.

Enjoy,
Chola

Chola’s Curiously LoFi Chillout Mix

The_Chola_Curiously_LoFi_Chillout

I have been seeking out down tempo artists on Myspace for weeks and have put together a great playlist worth of downloads because of it. As I was listening to part of that playlist yesterday, I decided I liked it so much that I would put a quick “mix” together.

This mix is a little different than my last couple. It is very down tempo, but is rich, melodic, and moody… a great atmospheric background. It is more of a woven compilation than a mix. It has a range of tempos and styles. Most of this music was downloaded from talented Independent artists on Myspace. The original mp3’s are compressed and lower quality, hence the “Lofi” title. But, I think it kind of adds a warm charm to the compilation. Here is the track list…

01: Bent– Cylons in Love
02: Pitx– Hard Moon
03: Richard Dekkard– Karma Harvest-Penumbra
04: Xploding Plastix– Funnybones Lazylegs
05: Myndseter– Normalize
06: Pelican City– Northside
07: Gavin Castleton– Why Wake Up
08: Soulmonk– Enamored featuring Ben Green
09: Chiarastella– Mandorlinfiore
10: S-Tune– Summer Rain (Chillout Mix)
11: Syntripital– Dignity
12: Prolyphic– Blue Lemonade
13: Sage Francis– Broken Wings
14: Joey Beats– Coxcomb Red Remix

Enjoy,
