“Hi everyone. My name is Zazoo and I’m a b00mb0x virgin”.

There… I said it…

Now that I’ve “outed” myself, please allow me some indulgences to help you get to know me. I’m probably as old as The Geez, but I don’t see age as a factor in inspiring me to create. I am not limited by a genre, something I share with many of you here. My mixes may encompass every genre, depending on what inspires me.

I come from across the pond in The Great White North of Canada, and Beach Villa Vibes was inspired by my reaction to our wretchedly long winter this year, complete with record snowfalls! I had to put myself in a summer state of mind. This chillout mix could well be subtitled “Dreaming of Spain”, since my jumping off point came from the sun-drenched, hedonistic, retirement lifestyle enjoyed by the Gal Dove character in the film “Sexy Beast”. From there, dreaming of the beaches of Ibiza, and the sounds and ambiance of the Cafe Del Mar, all accompanied by a female muse of course, completed the visual picture.

(Note: I also wanted to mention that the inclusion of the Blues Project track is an homage to the original sun-worshipping hippies that flocked to Ibiza in the Sixties.)

That said, enjoy the mix. Close your eyes and let the sound of the surf take you away….

Welcome Zazoo. 🙂

Whilst this mix isnt really breaking new ground as such, it is RIGHT up my street.
Very very mellow & atmospheric. Deffo gets you in the mood for some serious loungin ?

And anything containing Henry Mancini’s “Lujon” gets my immediate attention.

Ahhhh, that slow hot wind ………… 🙂

Thank you muchly. More please ?

Welcome to the ‘b0x mate!

Excellent mix, been really enjoying this. Very different from what I was expecting (I expected something more cafe del mar orientated) but great with it!

Look forward to more of your mixes 🙂

Thanks for the warm welcome and the words of encouragement. I don’t know if “not what you expected” is a compliment, but I’ll take it as one. Maybe this is too laidback for listening to in certain circumstances… Perhaps I should have called this “Make-out on the Mediterranean” or “Loungin’… With A Loved One” since I was trying to project a seductive, lazy/sexy (Â© Vepik), summer day at the beach with someone special, accompanied by warm ocean breezes.

You should absolutely take “not what I expected” as a compliment. I loved the mix and really enjoyed what was (for me) a really fresh take on the chillout mix.

It’s always great to hear something done in a new way and for me this chillout mix really went in a unique direction so yeah it’s a compliment 🙂

He who dares wins and all that!
