ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills "When everything has left you, You are alone When you left everything behind that’s solitude." These words, sampled from Schiller’s classic track Solitude, really sum up what this mix is all about. Being in a temporary solitude is not like choosing to be lonely and isolated. It’s a wonderful state of disconnecting from the stress and strains of today’s fast-paced environment and focusing your energy on your well-being and things that tru...

ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills When curating and crafting a mix, sometimes two songs don't just mix well together; with some thoughtful arrangement, they are meant to be played together. In this mix, released 6 years ago under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton , you will hear two mashups I made of songs that are match-made in heaven. First, Allie Moss's Wait It Out is sandwiched between two great instrumental tracks by Ólafur Arnalds and Secret Garden. Second, Erothyme...

ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills Back in 2015, this mix premiered my residency on Frisky Radio's CHILL channel, under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton . I had previously submitted a promo guest mix and they loved it enough to invite me to join their DJ roster. It was a big step for me and important validation of the image in which I sought to sculpt my chillout mixes, known as Unwind back then. Their press release put this eloquently: DJ Seroton believes in music with m...

ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills Variety is the spice of life. Long time listeners of this show know that I favor heartfelt, melodic and emotionally-captivating music in my mixes, but every now and then I have my excursions into something purely fun and playful. Case in point this mix. It was featured on Guido's Lounge Café on Mixcloud (big thanks to my friend Guido for hosting it) and it reached #1 in global chillout, lounge and downtempo charts: https://www.mixcloud.c...

ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills This year marks 10 years since I started producing professional music mixes, and this was my very first mix, released under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton . Before this mix, I got my first taste of chillout and ambient music when I stumbled on DJ River ‘s catalogue of mixes, as well as MDB's Beautiful Voices mixes . I completely fell in love with them and the genre as a whole. There was something magical about a free-flowing mix where ...

They compel out the best version of us, often decaying beneath layers of stagnation. They color our world with hope for a better future and contentment for our present blessings.

ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills This mix is inspired by the Epic45 track The Future Is Blinding and is themed around feeling content with what we have and finding happiness within. We get stuck in a vicious cycle of desperately wanting something that we think will make us happy, and pursuing it tirelessly in the hopes of attaining it. Once and if we do, and after we've adapted to it, the cycle starts again with something else that keeps us on our toes, forgetting to ch...

Two months in, my grief for losing my best friend Chris is still ever-present. Nevertheless, realizing that painful separation was always going to be an inevitable price for attachment, I started attempting to derail the train of sorrow onto the path of gratitude. Chris's arrival and presence in my life sparked countless joyful moments. He got me ...

I made this mix in an attempt to process my shock, my disbelief that years of talking to him every single day have been undone, and came to an indisputable irreversible end, in a matter of a week. He was my rock through thick and thin and I never imagined losing him this soon, at ...

Sometimes I like to zone out and run my imagination wild and free. I like to think that one day, somehow humans will find a way to coexist. To be able to give and take. To share this planet Earth equally and fairly among all of us, and to nourish it so that our future generations will be able to do the sa...

This mix is inspired by a beautiful song called Love & Hate by Michael Kiwanuka, and the mix is dedicated to my brother Ahmad who recommended it when I asked him for his favorite song to make a mix around. I loved the empowering message of the song that I decided to make an uplifting mix themed around it. Let's make 2021 count!

ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills I released this mix 9 years ago under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton in a series called Unwind . It was inspired by the first track, In My Secret Life , by the late Leonard Cohen. It was a personal mix to some extent. The following words by Gregory L. and Brenda Person sum up how I was feeling at the time. Perhaps you can relate to it. Either way, I hope you enjoy it. It certainly brings back memories for me. "There are so many secrets...

ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills Most mixes I create are typically inspired by a single song that I hear and feel strongly about creating a themed mix around. This one, however, has two sources of inspiration. First, I stumbled upon the dreamy, hazy and romantic style of a band called Cigarettes After Sex (the name beats me!). They became an instant favorite and their song Falling in Love was crying out to be the star of a mix. A little after that, Hans Zimmer and co. m...

The mix was inspired by the 5th track ( More Than Nothing ), and is centered around our desire to sometimes "turn back the hands of the clock" and do something we missed out on doing. Even though the song describes a man's regret for not pursuing a relationship, I'd like to think of this idea more generically to include everyth...

It's a style that brings together lofi hip hop beats with a rather jazzy and relaxed feel. One day, I was sampling music on Bandcamp when I stumbled across City Girl's incredible album: Siren of the Formless . I had heard (and previously featured) this style of music, but never have I heard such an exquisite full-length album showcasing wo...
