🎧 100 EPISODES OF CHILLOSOPHY 🎧

On August 24, 2022, I sat down behind the microphone at WMSE 91.7 FM Milwaukee and started something that I wasn't entirely sure where it would go.

Today, I completed Episode 100 of Chillosophy.

One hundred Wednesday mornings of trip-hop, downtempo, dub, funk, soul, electronica, Balearic sounds, chillout grooves and all the wonderfully difficult-to-categorize music that has found its way into the Chillosophy universe.

For Episode 100, I took a musical journey through the history and connections of Balearic Beat, Trip-Hop and Downtempo, from Ibiza to Bristol and ultimately to the sounds that have become the heart and soul of this program.

But a radio show isn't really about the person sitting behind the microphone.

It's about the people listening.

So, thank you!

Thank you to everyone who has tuned in from Milwaukee and beyond. Thank you to those who have listened every other Wednesday morning, those who discovered the show somewhere along the way, those who have shared a song, commented on a playlist, recommended an artist, or simply let Chillosophy become part of their morning.

And a huge thank you to WMSE 91.7FM for giving me a place to do this. Community radio is a special thing, and I'm grateful to be part of a station that gives musicians, DJs and music lovers the freedom to explore.

100 episodes is a milestone I never imagined when I started this journey on August 24, 2022.

And honestly? I'm just getting warmed up.

Here's the playlist from Episode 100. Put on your headphones, turn it up, and take the journey with me.

Fatboy Slim’s “E.V.A.” is essentially a late-1990s big-beat reworking of Jean-Jacques Perrey’s much older electronic instrumental. Perrey, an early pioneer of quirky, Moog-driven electronic pop, recorded the original “E.V.A.” in 1970 for Moog Indigo; it was co-written with Angelo Badalamenti and Marie-Paule Perreault.

In 1997, Norman Cook/Fatboy Slim reconfigured it rather than writing a new song from scratch: he retained Perrey’s instantly recognizable, bubbly synth melody and built a heavier breakbeat/dance arrangement around it. The remix was released as a Jean-Jacques Perrey record featuring Fatboy Slim, helping bring Perrey’s work to a new generation of electronic-music listeners.

A key extra ingredient is the spoken opening sample, attributed to psychedelic-era figure Timothy Leary, “What do you turn on when you turn on,?” which gives the remix its trippy, collage-like character.

The original already had a strange durability: its melodic phrase had been sampled by hip-hop artists before Fatboy Slim’s version, and it had also been used in a 1996 Lucozade commercial. Fatboy Slim’s treatment fit the 1990s big-beat moment perfectly—taking a playful, futuristic 1970 Moog piece and making it hit with the louder drums, loops, and dance-floor momentum of the era.

What is Chillosophy?”It’s the hum of the city before it fully wakes. Streetlights fading, sunlight stretching across quiet blocks, coffee steaming while the first notes drift through the room. It’s unhurried, head-nodding, and locked into a groove that doesn’t need to raise its voice.Chillos...

The "Amen Break" is a drum break that has been widely sampled in popular music. It comes from the 1969 track "Amen, Brother" by the American soul group The Winstons, released as the B side of the 1969 single "Color Him Father." The drum break last several seconds and was performed by Gregory Coleman.
