Chill Pills – Uplifting Chillout Music with downtempo, vocal and instrumental chill out, lofi chillhop, lounge and ambient

“How do we close our eyes and fly away
when we find we are only human
wearing a dress of skin
and we remember how we met
and built bridges to be together?
Still, we both know
that a music flows between us
and neither one of us
can ever forget the words.

The doors are wide open
and nothing is different,
our love is full of life and time.
Unlock the dreamless sleep
and see the truth, my beloved,
look at us
in the evening of our hearts’.
We are still one
even if unnoticed by anyone
in the light of day.”

― Unlock the Dreamless Sleep by Neva Flores Varga Smith

This mix got inspired by one of my best discoveries of this year: Zane Callister, whose Young Collective productions and UTAH band music embody the uplifting spirit of Chill Pill mixes. Check him out at soundcloud.com/young-collective.

Another inspiration came from the second track, Her Name by Arros & Light Memory, which samples words from one of my favorite sci-fi films Her. The whole quote goes like this:

It’s like I’m reading a book… and it’s a book I deeply love. But I’m reading it slowly now. So the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you… and the words of our story… but it’s in this endless space between the words that I’m finding myself now. It’s a place that’s not of the physical world. It’s where everything else is that I didn’t even know existed. I love you so much. But this is where I am now. And this who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to, I can’t live your book any more.

Finally, don’t miss the exclusive mashup track I made in this mix, combining Coldplay (my all-time favorite band) and a classic chillout tune by Helios. This whole mix really took some doing and I hope you enjoy it.

Music inspires most of my mixes, but every now and then different forms of art do, be it written or visual. This mix is inspired by the latter. A wonderful painting, called “The ocean is my happy place”, from the talented, Florida-based artist Lena Belyaeva (instagram.com/lenasart2019). You can almost say her paintings are the visual version of my uplifting mixes, so I’m honored to feature her work as cover art. It really brings me so much joy every time I scroll through her paintings, and I couldn’t think of a better title for the mix than the feeling her works imbued.

One year apart, but it’s the “forever” part that still haunts me.

In bed, after a day of purposeful distractions, my thoughts coalesce to pose the same old question I have asked since Feb 9, 2021: how, in a blink of an eye, does a story end like this?

“Deeper than any indigo sea
Wider than the largest celestial galaxy
Is the linking web which conjoins life
Whether it be a couple
Or two strangers separated by thousands of miles
We are all connected in a universal way

Discerned by all or none, we are still unified
By a link impossible to hear, see, or touch
It sprawls the universe, entangling infinite threads
Which weave endlessly through space
Creating the ever-changing fabric
That binds all of mankind.”

A Universal Fabric by Matthew Ellis

Last mix of 2021. I named it Yellow not only after the amazing chillout cover of Coldplay’s song you’ll hear here, but also because I want to look forward to next year with positive intent. It hasn’t been an easy year especially with the loss of my best friend to COVID early on. Alas, such is life. Loss is inevitable, but we choose how to carry it forward with us as we honor their memory by living the life they would have wished for us.

Special shoutout to Test Card (testcardmusic.bandcamp.com) for his opening track that inspired this mix.

Rays ignite the shadows
Where the sun forgets to fade
Blazing a path of brilliance
When memories are made

Life it has no boundaries
No rules for you or me
An endless path of possibility
Eternal destiny

A fire that burns in the heart
Scorching dark, cold days
Ignite the light of tomorrow
Burning blinding rays

A smoldering pyre of passion
That glows through the soul
A dream that’s not extinguished
A life that’s in control”

– Burning Heart by Dean Fraser-Phillips

“We stumbled on a view that’s tailor-made for two”

I love this quote from the film La La Land and I wanted to create the soundtrack mix to one such view. This is an enchanting mix, full of love and positivity, to take with you on your next escapade.

We’ve made it to 50! I am so very proud of how far this show has come. Since its inception in 2016, my goal has been to produce quality uplifting chillout mixes. Every one of them, including this anniversary mix, is a true labor of love. I have so many favorites to mention here, and if you like what you hear here, there’s a catalog full of them to explore.

Thank you all for your support. I’ve received some wonderful feedback, messages of encouragement, stories of how this music is helping you get through their daily lives. I read every single one of them and it always makes my day to do so.

Here’s to the next 50 🥂

“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 truly matter to you.

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 and Bliss’s respective songs about gratitude combine for an amplified message.

I also have great news: Chill Pills Radio, a 24/7 online ad-free station, is now available on any Alexa or Google Assistant-enabled device or smart speaker.

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 meaning, and his mixes are a reflection of the care and effort that he puts into sharing that feeling with others.  Filled with uplifting melodies, emotional connections, and complimentary energies, DJ Seroton’s love for the music comes through in his deep and thoughtful mixes. With a passion for chillout, ambient, and trance, he loves to create an enlightening sound that carries a message and elevates all those who listen. Through careful selection and passionate dedication, he connects every beat and every lyric to a purposeful message that creates deep and lasting effects.

DJ Seroton’s new show Unwind will be a welcome addition FRISKY Chill stream and its exceptional chillout and ambient roster. His music will be complementary yet unique, a quality that he always tries to bring out in his sets. His diverse and eclectic sound can be heard in his popular Chillout Sundays guest mix, where each track plays an important place in the complete package.

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:

It has the most interesting opening number of any Chill Pill that I did! It’s jazzy, soulful, and packed with sounds best enjoyed on a bigger soundstage. Take it for a spin, it might just hit you with all the right notes 🙂

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 carefully curated songs perfectly blended in to create something, a feeling, that’s bigger than the sum of the individual songs.

Here’s to the next 10 years of mixing and beyond. Just like these artists that inspired me, I remain committed to pushing the artform of mixing further as I bring you more of positive, uplifting music that delivers a dose of happiness with every listen.

I dedicate this mix to the wonderful people in our lives, past and present, who inspire and move us. They move us to live, love and laugh. 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.

You move me
You give me courage I didn’t know I had
Out of myself and into the fire
Now I’m burning with love
And with hope and desire

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way

You get me dancing
You make me sing
You move me
Now I’m taking delight
In every little thing
How you move me

― From You Move Me by Garth Brooks

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 cherish the good life we already have.

Imagine Earth restored to her real beauty
Steady trees seem to brush the deep blue sky
The clouds billow to form majestic peaks
The songs of birds fill the air
Creating a symphony upon symphony
Like a priceless jewel buried in dark layers of soil and stone
Earth radiates her brilliant beauty into the caverns of space and time
Embracing that energy within yourselves
Will bring all of you to a new understanding and valuing of life
A vision that inspires you to live and love on Planet Earth

– From Gamemaster by Mart Darey

“The greatest tribute to the dead is not grief, but gratitude,” Thornton Wilder once wrote.

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 through difficult times, not by doing anything extraordinary, but by just being there. He was an inspiration too. You’re here listening to this show because Chris was there at the beginning with me in 2016, brainstorming how I might go about creating and branding it.

For all of these things and everything else, I made this mix to say: thank you for all of it Chris! For the ups and downs, for the highs and lows, for the sights and sounds, for the inspiration to be all I can be, for believing in me and pushing me to realize my potential.

And… I even tucked in here your favorite song: “When She Loved Me”. They played it at your funeral’s closing ceremony. I will always remember how the last piano note of this song and subsequent silence made me feel then: like it was curtains closing on our lives together. But now I realize it was the beginning of my journey to find you again, through sheer gratitude for our time together.

On the eve of the 1st anniversary of when COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, I mourn the loss of my best friend who lost his short-lived fight to it last month. 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 the young age of 36.

But I also made this for all of you out there who lost a dearly beloved, be it to any cause, foreseen or sudden. Much has been written about grief, but contending with it and living in a post-traumatic shock is something no one can prepare you for. Words escape me and I find myself in whirlwind of emotions that come in unpredictable waves. Emotions like anger, denial, sorrow, disbelief and regret. I go about my day feeling numb, aimless and dejected. I’m told time is a healer, but what if I don’t want to be healed? I’m scared of our memories fading into oblivion.

Maybe this mix will be a solace for all of us who grieve. It has the highs and lows, the ebbs and flows, the wave of emotions that come to define our experience living with such insurmountable loss.

And to Chris I whisper:

Goodbye, my friend; your journey has ended.
Your struggles have now begun to cease.
Time to close your eyes to happy dreams
And wake to eternal peace.

Goodbye, my friend; I don’t want to let go.
We’ve been together many years.
It’s hard to see what lies ahead.
It’s blurry through the tears.

Our two souls are forever entwined.
There will always be a hollow spot.
I will miss you until it becomes my time.

This mix is dedicated to all people who dream of a better world, one without the conflicts and fractions that plagued our world today.

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 same.

So when you’re listening to this mix, just set back, relax and imagine. Imagine you’re in a wide open green field, setting next to a tree in the early hours of the day. It’s the break of dawn and the sky above you is slowly but surely starting to light up from darkness. The clouds are clearing up and the early rays of sunshine are passing through, touching upon the grass and creating moving waves of lights. And while you’re enjoying the breeze in this peaceful atmosphere, reflect on what it feels like to live in a city of hope, a city were people loved and where kind to each other. They don’t speak the same language, have the same color or share the same religion, but they’ve found a way to embrace and accept one another, for better and worse.

I released this mix 9 years ago under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton in a series called Unwind. It was one of my most popular Unwind mixes. Sensational, soulful and dreamy with influence from classical music, it was inspired by the fourth track of the same name by Gregorian.

Happy new year everyone!

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!

“Always on the outside, through a window looking in
Never the right time, so the chance goes by again

The lines begin to show, when we feel broken
To move on we have to drop the pieces we’re holding

And no one is perfect
You don’t need to be strong, every single day

Chase the wind again, knowing just what they’ll say
Don’t care anymore, can’t stay still anyway

No one really knows along the way
that the best things in life won’t be, perfect anyway”

From track #7 Seraphine, the Starry-Eyed Songstress

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 about life I will never know. I may never know what road I should have taken, the one less travelled or the one I know.
There are the could haves, the maybes, should haves, never haves and must haves but will I ever know? Will I ever know for sure what life is really like? Will it be chock-full of promises or filled with disappointing doubts?
Who am I? Where am I going? Will I travel down the road of life not making a single stop? Will I recognize that awkward moment when my future is in sight?
I think before I bare my soul, I hold some back. Have I ever given my whole?
I may not be the person you see. There is no way of knowing all the possibilities that life could be.
Some of life’s secrets are meant to be kept forever more.”

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. mesmerized me in the emotionally epic soundtrack to the Netflix original film Hillbilly Elegy. This mix begins and ends with music from the soundtrack, which gives it a particularly high note to end on that I hope would leave you with a lingering sense of love and hope.

This is a throwback mix released 5 years ago under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton in a series called Unwind.

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 everything we procrastinate or never get to do that we later wish we would have done, or at least tried!

Musically, this mix was by far the most time-consuming 1-hour mix I’ve ever created! It almost burnt me out trying to perfect all aspects of the mix, especially the first of the two mashups, track 13, which is made up of two equally amazing songs by DeYarmond Edison and All India Radio.

“May your dreams bring you peace in the darkness,
May you always rise over the rain.
May the light from above always lead you to love,
May you stay in the arms of the angels.”

from the opening track Lullaby For A Soldier (Arms Of The Angels) by Maggie Siff & The Forest Rangers, taken from Sons of Anarchy soundtrack.

We are all painters
Holding a color palette
Conceiving a painting
It’s how we mix the colors
Depending on our imagination
Whether we paint happiness
Or scenes of saddened gray
Situations yield the paintings
Sometimes splashing all colors
Or else black colors gloom
Universe has mostly dark energy
Yet, we have found our colors
To paint our abode, we inhabit
No matter, colors of joy and sorrow
We celebrate all colors
We are all painters, wielding the brush
To create new colors of hope

– Colors by Amitav Radiance

This is a throwback mix released 6 years ago under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton in a series called Unwind. It was a 30-min guest mix I did for a Chillout show that I loved called Special Chill Session, created by Dave Harrigan. It’s inspired by the sensation one would get when enjoying the beaches of France’s second largest city: Marseille. I had fun hand picking and mixing the track list of this mix, and I hope you enjoy it on your next beach getaway.

With this mix, I want to invite you to fall in love with a style of chillout music called Chillhop. 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 wonderful combination of smooth jazz elements, dusty vintage samples, and laid back hip-hop beats. I listened to this album on repeat and set out on a journey to discover the best of what this genre has to offer.

“Promise of New Beginnings Among Old Endings”, a beautiful upbeat track by the talented producer Fort Road, has inspired me to create a mix themed around our deep-rooted desire to be free from oppression and be in control of our destiny.

This is yet another throwback mix that was released exactly 5 years ago under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton in a series called Unwind. I worked on this mix for a while, and I was so pleased with how it turned out. To my delight, friskyRadio quite liked it and decided to promote it as a guest mix on their long-running Chillout Sundays on 7/6/2015. The mix aired and did really well that friskyRadio approached me for an offer to have a monthly show, which airs to this day. It was an incredible feeling to finally get a worldwide stage for my mixes and a chance to reach bigger audience of people who appreciate this kind of melodic and positive chillout and ambient music.

“We need to have music that contributes to the well-being of the spirit. Music that cradles people’s lives and makes things a little easier. That’s what I try to do, and what I want to do. You don’t want to close the door on hope.” – Merle Haggard

What is your happy place? For me, it’s really a state of mind. It can be sparked by a place, person or even a memory that brings me joy. I wanted this mix to be the soundtrack to that; a mix to uplift us and give us hope for a better tomorrow.

Many of us were hoping for a nice little spring break but instead were told to lay low until this virus outbreak is under control. When you can’t travel for a holiday, this mix hopefully gives you the soundtrack of one. It starts off with the classic ‘Holiday’ by the Scorpions, and then progresses through a mix of upbeat and mellow chillout tunes that are hand-picked to give you the feeling of being in a different place, filled with new experiences, culture and different sounds of music.

This mix was actually released exactly 8 years ago under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton in a series called Unwind. I decided to give those mixes a second life in this channel because they embody the same uplifting feel as the Chill Pills you have come to love.

I’m lonely, walking through
midnight forest is my soul
I’m climbing up above
Praying just to never stop

My storm is painful, it is wild
I sometimes used to be a child
But only now I realize
I must be conscious of my life

To fight the feelings is the hardest
Flames that burn the midnight forest
I am climbing up above
Praying just to never stop

I have been a fan of Guido’s lounge mixes ever since I developed a passion for mixing back in 2011. He is such a great musician, DJ and above all a supportive friend. He graciously accepted my invitation to guest mix on his show on Mixcloud. To my amazement and delight, this mix has topped the charts less than a week since its release! If you enjoy the mix of chillout and lounge tunes presented here, be sure to check out Guido’s vast library of quality lounge mixes that he ever so expertly curates and produces.

Above your head, to dignify, comfort and protect;
As always, and for ever and ever –

Here’s my way now
I’m feeling like a river
Looking for the place
Where I can touch the sea

Where have you been?
Where are you going to?
I want to know what is new
I want to go with you
So meet me down at the Blue Café

Make me forget, take me away.
Zone me in, let me stay

I’ll pay attention to you, and forget me
I need to not feel, please hide me.

The beats and lyrics
Pull me away from reality
Let me escape, help me to see

Hiding in my refuge of music
Drowning out all emotions
Finally forgetting myself
Not having to go through the motions.

Life seems like a river you know.
It is continually running on,
Where it goes no one ever knows.

The beauty that we pass on our way,
a sweet smile from a friend or lover,
a kiss and tender moment shared,
time spent with family.

They are rivaled by none, it is our own.
the moments shared and,
the memories that we create,
will last a lifetime and then some.

So be aware of the good and bad.
But most of all enjoy the ride,
because life is like a river.

Summing up the depth of intrigue opal embodies, Terri Guillemets once said: “There are worlds in an opal.” In every Uplifting Pills mix, I set out to create the musical equivalent of an opal, with songs that shine together in incredible union to color a picture of hope and cure a melancholic heart.

Happy holidays everyone. Here’s to a brand new year filled with happiness, gratitude and beautiful future memories.

“Ever wonder what it would be like if there were no time
live in every dimension live through every moment
Sometimes I wish I can just be young again
oh what I would do to be able to just go back
all those feelings, all that love
all my memories now floating around somewhere.

I’d live every dream, free of all concern
my heart yearns for the past
but my feet won’t ever take me there.

But as the lights pull me forward in time
and the past slips through my hands
I’ll know what to remember, and what to forget.”

Lay perfectly still
and wait until the bass makes your face vibrate.
Mindfolds on in perfect darkness
feel the music start to bring you solace.
Body goes numb and with it the mind
sleep paralysis sets in try not to fight it.

Hallucinations so vivid,
a reality so lucid.
Let it overwhelm you or run the risk of losing it.
Get lost in a dream of your own design
carefully constructed behind your eyes.
It’s a tall task if you want to build your own city,
Or feel the emptiness of space and experience infinity.

In the back of the heart, there is always an island
Solitary, away from even friendly people
An island meant sometimes to share with one
I never showed my island to anyone before
but you can see it if you like
In return, I don’t ask for much
Now and then a touch
Perhaps a friendly word, the sight of your eyes invading my private world
And yes, perhaps a little love, not much at first, but more than you give to strangers.

“It is the subtle, little everyday things which go unnoticed that can become the most meaningful. The heat of the sunlight that dances across your skin, or the morning dew that promises a fresh start to a brand new day, a brilliant day.

A nostalgic soundtrack for a rainy day.

“Memories warm these rainy days
we’re safely silently inside listening
the pitter patter plays a sad refrain
smiling yet our eyes are glistening

If I could I’d take you back to then
but there’s no road leading there
and while the memories are sweet
we both have all eternity to share

So we sigh reminiscing in the rain
about this precious life we’ve led
cherishing our fondest memories
knowing many more yet lie ahead.”

It’s extraordinarily difficult to find replacements for the old friends we’ve had when we were younger. These are the people who “knew us when”, people with whom we shared many experiences and who helped shape the person we are today. This mix is a nostalgic celebration of the precious times we had with these unforgettable people.

“Here’s a wishing well
Here’s a penny for
Any thought it is
That makes you smile
Every diamond dream
Everything that brings
Love and happiness
To your life

You will always have a lucky star
That shines because of what you are
Even in the deepest dark
Because your aim is true
And if I could only have one wish
Darling, then I would be this

Oblivion is the fate of almost everything in this world. It’s not something to fear, though, but to be motivated with. What masterpiece will you leave behind?

“There’s gonna come a time when all of us are dead. There was a time before humans, and there’s gonna be a time after. It could be tomorrow, could be a million years from now, and when it does there will be no one left to remember Cleopatra, or Muhammad Ali, or Mozart, let alone any of us. Oblivion’s inevitable. And if that scared you, then I suggest you ignore it. God knows, it’s what everyone else does.” ― John Green (from The Fault in Our Stars)
