Chill with The Chola Archive – Definitive Downtempo
Summary: I have been Digital DJ'ing for about three years and have found myself being drawn in to the chilled out worlds of Lounge, NuJazz, House, and Latin Rhythm. The Chill with The Chola podcast was a monthly show in which I explored all things jazzy, funky, and chilled out! The final episode debuted in March 2010 and an archive was brought online of the entire podcast at Definitve Downtempo. This is the RSS feed for that archive. The mixes that you will find in this archive are a good choice when you need to create a colorful backround for great conversation with friends during cocktails or dinner. They are also great to throw on when you just need to chill, catch up on some reading, or have a nice nap. This is not Ambient, you need ryhthm, but not in your face. Its jazzy, its smooth, heck, it can even be progressive. But, these mixes will never take you too deep and will never create anything but POSITIVE VIBES. :) Enjoy, Chola

The_Chola_Best_of_2009_121709 First off, my apologies for the delay in posting the “Best of 2009” podcast.

The_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

The_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.
