CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills Once upon a time while wandering through ethereal realms of ambient music landscape, I encountered a label that embodies the essence of what I seek to share through my mixes: Echoes in the Valley. This label with its deep commitment to releasing music that blends ambient with the natural world, has always been a source of exquisite music that was featured on this podcast. I was also fortunate to discover several of my now favorite ambient artists through this label. Despite featuring music from outside their catalog, this mix is an invi ..read more

With his two featured tracks in this m ..read more

Countless planets in the universe, like dreams, Once ablaze in the sky, illuminating you. With a smile and a wave, we embrace departure, Having shared happiness and bliss. Origins and endings, holding and letting go, No longer gazing with guilt and remorse. Countless planets in the vast universe, Together, we shine in the heavens. Falling without regret, loving bravely, Our radiance never ceases, moving forward.” from Celestial Journeys by KAKA LA ..read more

The heart of man has turned to stone, and compassion is not found.. We’ve taken love and friendship and beat them to the ground.. Let’s end this reign of violence, and halt these evil designs.. We are all in this as one human race, to that we must resign.. So, please reach out so all of us cease the malice and the pain.. And maybe one day soon, we’ll hear sweet music in the rain..” Ode To Tolerance by John Leroy Maxwell Makin ..read more

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills This mix is dedicated to one of my favorite ambient producers, Human Is Alive (Pavel Lipatov).

His music never fails to evoke all-around positive emotions, including sense of calm, melancholy, and nostalgia (the latter is a prominent theme with his Reflections Of The Past subpro ..read more

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills Dedicated to the memory of my late friend Nabil. “There are friends I still remember Though time and tide have left their tell And still the one thing that I wish for Is that, my friend I wish you well Let all those dreams that went before us Like all those plans that never were In a life that spun out of our control Lost in the unplanned things that occurred There are moments I remember Some too painful just to tell For those few and precious moments Most of all I wish you well As I travel ever onwards To parts unknown yet who can tell ..read more
