Go Ahead...Chill Out!

Good evening! Right now I'm getting ready for the work week to come [and not feeling too thrilled about it], and I'm planning out what I'm going to be doing tomorrow. I'm a little stressed out, so I'm doing what I do a lot on Sunday evenings - listening to what's called chill out music on the Chill Out Lounge on iTunes radio. The music itself is a combination of musical loops & synthesizer music that's played at a slower tempo than most electronic music. It lends itself to simply kicking back with a nice glass of wine, a significant other [if you have one, that is], and just relax and let the music take you away. It's similar in some ways to ambient music, but with a more R&B/jazz groove to it. It's used in clubs to let the party crowd cool off after grooving on the dance floor for a while. Some artists to check out would include Groove Armada [the first ones I listened to], Thievery Corporation and Banco de Gaia. Now I'm off to relax with DJ Gregory. Groove on!

Welcome to the Groove!

Welcome to Groove to This!

This is the spot where we'll be talking about various artists from different genres of music. You'll hear about everything from smooth jazz to downtempo jams, with a bit of rock, new wave and Gospel thrown in for good measure. I enjoy all kinds of music, and I want to introduce you to some of it. In other words - expect the unexpected!
