Dave's Lounge

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20091116.mp3) Last week, this show put the spotlight on Sine Music. This week, the spotlight falls on the good folks at Om Records, a San Francisco-based label that was gracious enough to send me a small package of CDs last week, and trust me when I say that very good things came in [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20091108.mp3) I came down with the flu last week — not sure if it was the dreaded swine flu or not, but it was nasty — so while I’m recovering from that, I’m going to leave with a few new from the good folks at Sine Music, including a couple of tracks from [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20091028.mp3) So I fell behind in just about every facet of my life after my recent trip to Philadelphia — which was not only a great time, but also a bit of a learning experience about life in an old city. My friends and I did a lot of walking that weekend, even [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20091014.mp3) Last week, I was feeling a really strong urge to get out of the house, and I decided it was necessary for me to scratch that itch. In return, I promised everyone an hour-long show this week. So here it is, mostly uninterrupted, with some old favorites and a few new songs [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20091001.mp3) There are many people who will tell you I’m a little obsessed with songs that have female vocalists. To which I reply, "Yes. And here are some more songs like that…" Playlist for Dave’s Lounge #173: Moto, "She’s Everywhere"  Buy from: iTunes The Angel, "Ultra Light (ft. Jhelisa)"  Buy from: iTunes Weather Pending, "Midlands"  Buy [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090924.mp3) It’s Grand Final weekend for our friends down in Australia, so I thought it might be fun to start with a song that Australian radio station Triple J called the 77th hottest song of all time — a bit bombastic, perhaps, but I think you’ll enjoy that tune and the rest of [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090917.mp3) There are a lot of artists I would love to promote on this show, but I can’t, because they’re signed to RIAA labels. These major labels are actively trying to punish music fans for sharing music they love with others and helping to grow their favorite artists’ audience. They’re also forcing new [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090910.mp3) Now that it appears the majority of our Feedburner trouble is behind us, we can get back to sharing some new music with the world. A few months ago, the awesome Properly Chilled podcast talked about the idea that downtempo electronic BPMs seem to be rising every year, almost to the point [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090903.mp3) And we’re back. I’m continuing to sort through music submissions and finding new music from some familar faces as well as a few artists new to the Lounge. If you sent me some downtempo tunes but haven’t heard back from me yet for whatever reason, email me again at daveslounge@gmail.com, and I’ll [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090820.mp3) So you might seen me mention on my Twitter feed this week (and in past weeks) that Verizon DSL service has suddenly become quite useless inside my house. While there’s one local Verizon repairman who’s sympathetic to my cause, my complaints have, for the most part, fallen on deaf ears. I’m sure [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090813.mp3) Remember a few months back when I did that not-so-chill episode? This week’s show is a little like that. It focuses on the more beat-centric side of downtempo, and while it’s not quite as over the top as #152, it’s still more likely to make your head nod than to bliss you [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090806.mp3) This week, I decided to open up the show to the listeners. I put up a call for requests on the Dave’s Lounge Facebook page and listeners pick the tunes they wanted to hear. Those tunes ended up forming a pretty solid mix, so I just got out of the way and [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090730-MergeOfEqualsSpecial.mp3) I had a sense that Merge of Equals was capable of some great music after hearing their contributions to Cosmic Chill Lounge Vol. 3. What I didn’t know, however, was just how many compilations featured Zurich-based producer Flavio Maspoli & Friends before then. No surprise, then, that their debut album, [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090723.mp3) Plenty of return visitors to the lounge this week, including one we haven’t heard from in about three years. Good to see Sarah Fimm is making some new music. Now we just have to get Artemis to release something new… Playlist for Dave’s Lounge #164: Kush, "Definition of Cool"  Buy from: iTunes Sarah Fimm, [...]

Download audio file (DavesLounge-20090716.mp3) Back from a long break that saw me fly to Austin, Texas, and back, needing two days to recover from that, then come down with some sort of nasty flu bug, and needing three days to recover from that. It’s a rare midweek show, but those won’t be so rare in the [...]
