Chillout Radio

On a recent trip to Lithuania I met an American guy who was really into techno. Since i never really understood the different forms of techno we started a fairly lengthy conversation. After a while it was quite clear he himself didn't the ability to explain the difference between Acid Jazz, Euro Funk and Break Beats (just to name a few). Finally we found a great site that shows how all these styles are related, provides full descriptions and music samples. It turns out there's a form of techno that really appeals to me...chillout. I haven't had the energy to look for MP3s or the money to buy CDs but I have found a great webradio site called OverXposure.FM which I've been listening to on a regular basis for the past month. It's based out of Seattle and supports MP3Pro...give it a listen.

    There are a couple other web outlets for this type of music that have been around for a while. The biggest is probably di.fm, which has a number of techno channels including a chillout one. There's also a lesser known favorite of mine, which is somafm.com.

    Of course, you should be moving to pandora.com anyway :)

    There is a very good podcast that you can listen to, it's called Dave's Lounge, and the website is http://www.daveslounge.com/

    Check it out, it's cool.

    Cheers, mate.
