EKHO Sonic Chill is my late-night radio show out of Las Vegas.
It started with a radio show late at night in San Diego, just past the year 2000: Midori's Big Sonic Chill on FM 94.9. Massive Attack next to Nick Drake, Cocteau Twins next to Pink Floyd. It was never about the genres. It was about how the songs made me feel when they played together. That feeling is what my show chases: two hours of downtempo, trip hop, dream pop and shoegaze, every song picked by how it feels next to the others. Not by charts, not by algorithms.
I buy every song I play. No streams, no rips. Whenever I can, I buy it straight from the artist, so the money goes where it should. A lot of the bands I play are ones I found digging for new music late at night. Finding new music is a big part of why I do this.
Once I buy a song, it goes on the show and on ESC Radio, my station, playing all day, every day on Live365 and TuneIn. It's fully licensed, so the artists earn royalties every time a song plays.
Then I send people their way. Every artist I play gets a page on ekhosonicchill.com with where to buy their music, their links, and their show dates when they're on the road. When a band is on an episode, I reach out and let them know, and I tag them when the episode goes out. Find a band you love, then go support them. That's the whole point. New episodes come out every Friday. Press escape any time.
