I could potentially make a very long list of great chillout songs but these are my absolute favourites:

Loving Groove Armada - at the river. Used to be one Mills would quite often pick up in the past for the Wonder Years.

Would really prefer just the choon though. First time I have ever seen the video, and have to say... the guy in white shorts walking across the beach is not appealing in any way, shape or form. Kind of how I picture Doovde *instantly barfs*

Was waiting on some random (Doovde) making a smart remark about my video for the jazz just having a cup in a window all the way through the video. **

Nice thread. There are some absolute beauties up there. Good taste people of UM. Groove Armada and Zero Seven are two of my most favourite things ever. Such good songs. Might pop up a few for now. Warning: Slightly eclectic taste. May be back too.

This is pretty.

The following is lovely, and was recommended to me by @quantick on Twitter when I wanted to listen to The Smiths. He doesn't like them very much at all, so every time I threaten to listen to them he has to 'save me' with a new track or two.

This is cosy snuggly song. Always chills me out, even though the lyrics aren't so happy.

What a silly comment, I don't even OWN any white shorts... black or blue/green maybe but not white... and I don't often wear those except when swimming :P

http://youtu.be/Fb4jguPLceQ - from 1969 from the great Stevie Wonder - The song was originally written about Wonder's girlfriend while he was at the Michigan School for the Blind.

Someone famous apparently recently asked Stevie if she looked ok in her dress - he is... er... blind !!

And... another one (to celebrate birth of Wonder's child) - 1976

  • 2 weeks later...
Here is another one... very old fashioned - by Nina Simone (did you know she once shot someone for breaking her concentration apparently?) :hahaha: - great lady who played a big part in the Civil Rights Movement...

No that was Samuel L Jackson...

Anyways, Children by Robert Miles brings to mind this from around the same time

it's reasons like this why i realise trance is a far better type f music than dubstep can ever hope to be.

SASH

Happy Mondays !! :hahaha:

Is not Happy Mondays, is Sash! THIS is Happy Mondays...

I remember my French Teacher using Encore Un Fois in lessons, made up own lyrics for the tune with a few extra French phrases.

http://youtu.be/JZMErm3-8Aw - great, great lady - Melody Gardot. She was bascially knocked off her bike, and her brain was affected, so she had to learn simple things again - such as brushing her teeth, etc. To this day, she has to wear dark glasses because of hypersensitivity to light.

Thanks to MUSIC, the neuropathways in her brain were able to reconnect, she was able to write her own music, and is now well known all over the jazz World.

Song is taken from her forthcoming album, due out at the end of the month.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
