Cass Anawaty has been involved with music for over 20 years. As a guitarist he has studied with fingerstyle legend Alex DeGrassi, Flamenco purist Mark Taylor, and renowned Jass performer/instructor Don Latarski. His years of work as a musician and composer led him to found Sunbreak Music LLC in 2002 as a platform for media composition and production.
British born Paul has loved music since earlier than he can remember. He was brought up on a strict diet of Edie Cochran, the Beatles and the Tamla Motown sounds of the sixties. He soon settled on the bass guitar as his instrument of choice and, although he can scratch out a rudimentary tune or two on the six string and the piano, he still maintains his love for the engine room of the band, the link between the rhythm that drives and the melody that charms.
The album ‘Monjour’ is the first of a planned series by Cass and Paul. Imagine: one lives on the West Coast of the USA, the other in Singapore. Lots of guests appear in their production as you can read on the dedicated site of the album. ‘Monjour’ is the result of working remotely in their studios and 8000 miles apart…. The Jukebox plays ‘Sunset over Manda Valley’ (Jehanna Phares Hakime, recitation).
Words from the booklet: Monjour does not compete in the loudness wars. It has been mastered to preserve the dynamics and excitement of the original mixes. Therefore, for maximum aural pleasure, we advise you to turn it up REALLY FREAKIN’ LOUD.
Izmar Verhage is a producer of all kinds of electronic music, usually with a cinematic, soulful influence. Lately he’s been focussing on global sounds of triphop, chillout, ethnic and breakbeats. Izmar started playing keys at age 12, teaching himself various chord arrangements - Around the same time he started writing his own music, having written over 150 songs to date.
The Jukebox plays a track from his Aze2 album; some of you might recognize the track from the Senseo® Sundays series, hehehe! After releasing the track in 2003 it’s still a great one, timeless, even speechless. Visit the Izmar website for more great tracks and information.
A music band involving Carl Gibbons (producer, composer, performer); Jana Tillotson (composer, performer, lyricist). With contributions and collaborations from a bunch of other talented musicians. For a long time Northcore was just Carl, and most of the stuff he wrote was techno, trance and chillout. Now it’s a broader mix of styles but it can generally be classified under “electronic”, “chill”, and “alternative”.
On the production side, Northcore music has been featured on websites, documentaries, short films, computer games, fashion shows, and sport videos. The collaborations and remixes which have been most stimulating. Working up full-length albums for the U.S. ambient label Spotted Peccary, and Northcore has also been getting cosy in the London psy-trance scene. Tracks have been released on UK psy-compilation albums, and they have played psy chill gigs at big and small venues, including the Glade Festival, Waveform Festival and Camden’s inSpiral Lounge.
Today’s track from the Jukebox: Oxygen. Carl about this track: “We took this vocal line & lyrics, which a good friend wrote, to a new place when we recorded and created hospital sounds and composed a new piano part to complement the melody. We recorded that part on the Petrov grand piano at the Czech Embassy in London. In our final mix, Oxygen has become the song of the life-support machine to the patient.”
Redlounge Orchestra is a project by producer Carsten Roggenbuck from the Hamburg area in Germany. The music can be found on many different chillout/ambient style albums, samplers and compilations. RLO is not only about chillout music…Carsten does also soundtrack music, music for commercials and events, LIVE performances including visuals guarantee a trip around the world with the best music you can think of. RLO LIVE comes as a duo with Christophe Drave on guitar, electronic violin and keyboards. Carsten plays keyboards and the electronic cello. Bookings for the RLO DJ set via the Redlounge Orchestra website here.
The track coming out of the Jukebox is called ‘Sonic Circle’ ; it immediately draw our attention because of the fantastic sound quality and great synth sequences, the groovy loops and wonderful orchestrations. It’s available on the new Chillbar Volume 2 compilation album via Sine-Music records (Release dec. 11th 2009).
Sternenspringer is: Gerd Neusser and Juergen Rieger, both living in small town near Frankfurt - Germany. They’re part of the Netaudio scene since 2000. Gerd´s obsession is composing beats and freaky soundscapes. Juergen, who studied graphic-design in the early 90’s, is working now as a freelance designer and is the head behind the visual concept of the projects both are joining; he is enthusiastic about creating smooth soundscapes, rhythmic beats and clicky noises.
The result of putting together their different personalities is a wide range of sounds between minimal electronic, experimental ambient and moving melodies. Watching the world in every situation, catching every single moment. Sternenspringer: “everyone and everything has it’s own story and that is what we try to express in our sound concepts”. The Jukebox plays ‘The Air, The Light and The City’ from the ‘Areas and Movements’ LP released in 2006. The album is (still) available for free at the Sternenspringer website.
On the 11th of December, in tune with the festive season, Sine Music will be releasing the sequel to the successful Chillout/Lounge compilation Chillbar Vol.1. ::: Chillbar Vol.2 will be available on CD and as a digital release from all well-known Internet download stores.

Gulan was born in Latvia in 1974. In fact, Gulan is a pseudonym. He was interested in music and showed his musical talents during the childhood itself. His first dabbling with instrumental music was through piano in a music college. Later he learnt keyboard and synthesizer through private lessons. After that he got plenty of opportunities to show his raw talent through electronic synthesizers. This experience made him a master of electronically generated music and sounds.
Gulan made the full use of his experience when he launched his first album at the age of 19; later he formed a band in his own name, which became synonymous with ’space music’. He also founded a music studio called Gulan Music Studios in Latvia. His music has been broadcast from radio stations of various countries including the USA, the UK, the Netherlands (Spacemusic.nl) , Australia, and South Korea.
The Jukebox plays a track called ‘Return Home part 2′ and it’s taken from the album ‘Cassiopeia’ sent to us by Gulan himself. A wonderful electronic/new age album that is really timeless. The perfect relaxing album, the perfect soundtrack, music that should be played more often at more places. Maybe it’s time to install more Spacemusic Jukeboxes on this globe…
Paul was born in 1963 in Jersey. Paul Vincent Le Claire is a member of the States of Jersey. Upon leaving school he served in the Royal Marines as a bugler before moving on to a career in personal protection, and becoming a fully qualified executive protection specialist.
He is a musician, having had three albums produced and distributed over the internet and regularly performing in healing masses for the Christian community in Jersey. These include the Queen of Peace which was inspired by the miraculous healing of a young boy in Medjugorje. In Summer 2000, he played support for Art Garfunkel when the singer visited Jersey for a concert at Fort Regent.
This time we can hear ‘Summer Skies’ from the Jukebox. Produced by Marc Mitchell. The track has been in our libraries for years and now it’s on air: it’s a track that really gives you this typical warm feeling brought to you by paul’s voice, the instruments and mix is remarkable and will stick in your head for days, months…
“the beauty of it all, compared to Summer Skies
how wonderfull the world, looks through Lover’s Eyes
how beautiful it seems, if you only try”
We go way back, shortly after we initiated the Spacemusic podcast we stumbled upon this track ‘I realize’. Later we found out about the fact this track was performed by Mosaik from Sweden, under a different name. Translation of the Swedish ‘Rymdlego’ comes near some sort of ‘Space Lego’. So let’s play! Other performing names from the same artist: Radix, Mosaik. Who is he? It’s Jakob Svanholm and he comes from Sweden. His musical skills play an important role in the ambient/electronic music scene. Yes, Spacemusic calls this artist a legend already…
If I could gather all the stars
and hold them in my hand,
the colors I would then possess
would not be half as grand
as those which I have seen
when I look deep into your eyes,
or come across
when I have kissed your lips, I realize.
If I could ponder all the truths
men sought since time began,
they would not teach me more than if
I were to touch your hand
For truth to no one you have touched
appear as simple lies
And nothing could be truer
than your touch, I realize.
If I were given lasting life
as only God could do,
I’d shun it all and turn away,
if I could live with you.
For even God has never known
the immesurable size
Of the love that’s
within your heart, I realize.
