Show Notes
This is a throwback mix released 5 years ago under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton in a series called Unwind.
The mix was inspired by the 5th track (More Than Nothing), and is centered around our desire to sometimes "turn back the hands of the clock" and do something we missed out on doing. Even though the song describes a man's regret for not pursuing a relationship, I'd like to think of this idea more generically to include everything we procrastinate or never get to do that we later wish we would have done, or at least tried!
Musically, this mix was by far the most time-consuming 1-hour mix I've ever created! It almost burnt me out trying to perfect all aspects of the mix, especially the first of the two mashups, track 13, which is made up of two equally amazing songs by DeYarmond Edison and All India Radio.

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.
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.
"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.
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.
