Chill Pills are ad-free, multi-artist chillout albums, seamlessly mixed to deliver a dose of happiness with every listen. Curated from wide variety of downtempo, vocal and instrumental chill out, lofi chillhop, lounge, modern classical and ambient sounds.
A bit of departure from mixes you hear on Chill Pills podcast: this is an Islamic songs (nasheed) mix infused with some lo-fi and ambient. The mix is a personal reflection of a defining journey I’ve been on for the past 4 years and going strong.
For the longest time, my heart was shackled by attachments to worldly pursuits. I sought perfection in an imperfect world. I grieved losses, including the deaths of close friends. I wr...
This passage from one of my favorite books, Love & Happiness by Yasmin Mogahed, speaks true to my spiritual transformation over the last 5 years or so, and is the inspiration for this mix.
I have been through some dark times in my life and I have had to make some very hard decisions. But I'll tell you what I’ve learned...
Life isn’t supposed to be miserable. It isn’t supposed to be excruciatingly painful. It ...
"Every moment is its own universe. Each moment brings with it a new birth, a new opportunity to live, to turn back, to renew. Each moment is a new chance to get it right.
And with each moment is also a death. Let the past die. If you messed up yesterday, that universe is already dead and gone. Right now is your new reality. Capture it, before it dies."
Poetry by Yasmin Mogahed, from her book Love & Happiness
"Every now and then life says
Where do you think you're going so fast
We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind
If we'd only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start
A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day ...
Let your spirit soar on the wings of "bluebird of happiness." Featuring my all-time favorite chillout song: Ulrich Schnauss's remix of Mojave 3's 2003 masterpiece of the same name, this mix is the sonic embodiment of that mythic bird, whispering secrets of joy. No feathers required – just hit play. 🎶✨

Allow me to take you on a journey with the upbeat symphony of Entwinement: a meticulously crafted 30-track chillout mix that explores the theme of shared destiny and how intricately entwined we are on this planet. As the music unfolds, contemplate the beauty of our collective journey, and the importance of embracing our similarities while celebrating our unique paths. Let's open our hearts, connect with one another, and build m...
"In the mindset of a traveler, there is a natural detachment that comes with the realization that something is only temporary. This worldly life, the dunia, is just like the ocean. And our hearts are the ships. We can use the ocean for our needs and as a means to get to our final destination.
Of course, detachment does not mean that we do not own things or interact with this world. On the contrary, we build this world and give...
Zane Callister, the man behind Young Collective moniker, is an artist whose music resonates with me. After featuring him in several mixes, I decided to do him justice by dedicating an entire mix to the gift he brings to this world.
More than a composer, he is a storyteller. He uses music as a medium to create immersive and emotional experiences for his listeners, something I aspire to do in this show as well.
In this intervie...
I recently re-watched the record-setting supersonic, freefall jump that Felix Baumgartner performed in October of 2012 from 39 km high up in space. The words he uttered before taking the leap of faith resonated with me:
"I know the whole world is watching, and I wish the whole world could see what I see. Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you really are."
"There is a place nothing compares to but we only know
With a meaning so special
A place that was meant for more than we know
By the lighthouse on the hill we opened a door to a different world
Leaving everything behind
Just you and I
Open up your eyes"

And let me sing forevermore

"Upon the sea, while sunrays splay their gold,
the sun descends behind horizon's line
to sink, at last, from visions that I hold-
as rays, with deep-sea magic, intertwine.
So like the sunset, my creative soul
reflects a brilliant glow with thoughts ablaze,
en massé to sink in fluid, deep control
where fervid songs create music's vivid rays."
― My Soul At Sunset by Sandra Haight

Like a sparrow on a wire
Singin' the same song everyday
I'm feeling restless but I'm tired
Don't want to leave but I can't stay
You and me need something more
It's time to spread our wings and go
Through the clouds into the sun,
Far away from everyone
When we get above the rain
They are al...
"Oh, they say people come
Say people go
This particular diamond was extra special
And though you might be gone
And the world may not know
Still I see you, celestial
Like brothers in blood
Sisters who ride
And we swore on that night
We'd be friends 'til we die
But the changing of winds
And the way waters flow
Life is short as th...
First mix of the year is dedicated to all those who strive and persist, fueled by strong desires, and in pursuit of something they aspire to achieve or a view of self, an identity, they labor to create.
"Keep this constantly in mind: weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat. When your desires are strong enough you will app...
Wishing you a happy holiday season. In the words of Coldplay's masterpiece track that inspired this mix: "In the end, it's all about the love you're sending out." And this one goes out to all of you 💌
