E-Man Groovin Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Sheffield Live is on the air now. Set your dial to 106.6FM and be impressed.... Â or go to http://www.sheffieldlive.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodge Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I'll have a listen later... although, please tell me it's not yet more "funky house", or any other abysmal, loathsome sub-genre of house "music"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Man Groovin Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Are you Forumers enjoying it? I personally think it's smashing. It gets even better between 2pm & 4pm today because that's when I'm on the air playing beautiful, blissed-out chillout. Â Feel free to PM me with shout-outs & requests.

Hodge Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I couldn't actually tune in. I'll try again later. Â What's "blissed-out chillout", by the way? Synonymous for "funky house", or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Man Groovin Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Erm, no. Â Surely you've come across the chillout genre? It's downtempo music ranging from trip-hoppy (e.g. Moby/Portishead/Royksopp), thru classical-type stuff (William Orbit), through laid back Brazillian numbers (e.g. "A transa" from the City Of God soundtrack), through downtempo Jazz, through dubby tracks. Even the odd folky (Aimee Mann), and lazy rock/hip-hop (e.g. N.E.R.D's "Provider") tracks get in. Â Blissed-out simply means that it's generally soaring soulful stuff that will give you a bit of a dreamy lift. Â And if there were any "funky house" tracks that were slow and mellow and beautiful - I'd play them! Â Don't get too hung up on labels. I think it was Louis Armstrong who said "there are two types of music, good and bad". Just open your mind & listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBouncer Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I can't seem to tune in either E-Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodge Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Thanks for the additional info E-Man. I have heard those styles you expanded on - and indeed listen to most of them - I've just never heard the collective term "Blissed-out chillout". I guess It's just one of those trendy, fad terms, which I rarely take any notice of. Â Believe me when I say that my mind is very open to music - I'm just not a fan of the house genre. Â Cheers.
