What is this blog about?
This blog is about a specific few genres and sub genres of music. Lounge, ambient, chillout, downtempo, Balearic lounge, a chill vocal trance.
Why?
I have been a lover of electronic (or now happily it's own culture, EDM) music all my life. My second favorite genre was anything orchestrated or classical. I discovered lounge and chillout music less than a decade ago, and have now dubbed it my favorite type of music and am extremely passionate about it. I have always thought of it as those two genres combined, orchestrated and electronic. The emotion and energies it evokes I would love to share with the world.
How often will I post?
In a perfect world, every day. I will shoot for every other day, and realistically it will happen at the very least twice a week.
What do I plan on doing with this blog?
Besides for sharing a passion and hopefully building that passion in others, I would like to do two things - I would like to change the way people "understand" lounge music and eventually if the blog becomes more popular I would like to host discussions.
Relax -
If I could magically do anything to people from this genre I would entirely take out the, "It's just sex music" preconceived thought/opinion from people's heads. Unfortunately, the genre sometimes does not help with that itself, since the "opinion" is a selling point. To try to accomplish this myself I will try my hardest to pick Youtube videos that do not have provocative images or video. This way I can also make the blog safe for work and younger audiences.
Please report to me any broken links or removed video.
Remember, it's all about relaxing. Sit back, grab some good speakers and let it take your soul on a journey.
Only the best of lounge, chill out, ambient, ambient trance and vocal trance music. Lay back, close your eyes, and relax...

Blog Kickoff: Sweet Coffee - No Ordinary Love
After much waiting and planning and being lazy I am finally launching the blog!
Please read the "About this Blog" post for much information regarding what and how I post. It will be helpful, promise.
As a first post, I chose this track. The original is from Sade, but I feel this version is a bit more updated and a lot more like the chillout I aim for.
