Chillin' with Lovespirals

Chillin' with Lovespirals

Originally launched in June 2005, Chillin' with Lovespirals is one of the first-ever band podcasts, hosted by the innovative husband-and-wife duo, Ryan and Anji Lum. Always ahead of the curve, Ryan, a visionary producer, transitioned from analog to digital recording in the late '90s, while Anji quickly established herself as a pioneer of online music promotion. In 2005, she founded the digital media company, Chillcuts, to maintain control over their music as they foresaw the shift from CDs to digital formats at the turn of the millennium. In this laid-back and insightful podcast, Ryan and Anji discuss their creative process, the technology behind their music and videos, and how they've stayed relevant in the ever-evolving digital music landscape. With personal stories, inspiring artist discoveries, and behind-the-scenes looks at life as modern-day content creators, Chillin' with Lovespirals offers an engaging mix of creativity, tech talk, and indie music insights from a duo that’s been pushing musical boundaries for over two decades.
