30 Oct 09 Jukebox #9 Peru
PERU was a Dutch Synthesizer band, started in 1979 with Peter Kommers and Ruud van Es. They used their first names to make the name of the band. Rob Rapen also joined the band and Jos van de Dungen was involved in this project later on. Besides the name PERU they also used the name NOVA for their more commercial work. The single like ‘Aurora’ was in the charts those days! The music by Peru can be described as ‘new age’ or ‘electronic’. File it under ’synthesizer’ if you will. It can be played while sitting on the couch or as the background of a film. Peru has made music you won’t hear that often anymore nowadays which is too bad…. Welcome to Spacemusic! The Jukebox plays ‘Whales’ and it’s from their album called ‘Forlian‘ which is a 1988 release when Jos van de Dungen joined Ruud and Peter. Visit the iTunes Store and get more music by this great band, there’s a fine collection of albums to choose from. Our suggestion: get them all !!!

19 Oct 09 Jukebox #5 Transient
Transient is Carl Martin, american musician with netlabel discography second to none. It is not easy to categorize his output, the styles vary from beatless ambient to bottom heavy dancefloor rollers, everything in between. So in case he is a new discovery to you, head over to his website and be amazed of the versatility of music, almost all of it to be downloaded for free. “Nothing is everything when everything is nothing” being the lengthy title for this album, it’s slightly more beat-oriented Soft Phase release, while still preserving the importance of melodies and harmony. The album carries influences from floaty atmospheric ambient, dub, some melancholic piano, all accompanied with some cleverly programmed beats.
“The record is a furthering of my approach to casually inform the listener of the potential positive life. For me this has always been the purpose of musical creation, to spread good vibrations to the masses and to fight fear and hate. Do not despair!” - Carl.

14 Oct 09 Jukebox #3 Magic Sound Fabric
Behind Magic Sound Fabric is Cameron Akhunaton, music composer, graphic artist, and owner of Spiralight Recordings and Ambient.us. His electronic musical journey began with multi-track recording in his native Virginia (USA). His current sound is the result of years of refining, reinventing, and exploring the abundance of electronic music tools. Akhunaton has arrived at “Chilled-out, mind expanding sound waves,” as said by Musical Starstreams.
The Jukebox plays a track from 2002 from the album “Uplift Drift”. It’s the final track from the album and as far as we’re concerned the best one. It’s a perfect combination of dub, electro, grooves, samples and cinematic atmosphere. This is only the second time music by the MSF is on our show; the first time was “Photonic Phonic” back in march 2005… time flies!

12 Oct 09 Jukebox #2 Mosaik
Mosaik is an artist from Stockholm, Sweden. His music could be described as ambient electronica with a genuine melodic touch. In fact, it’s the melodies and harmonies that present the personal Mosaik trademark. The Jukebox plays “Nanomies” which he did together with Planet Boelex. The track comes from his latest release ‘Leandi’ via the Softphase Netlabel.
“So, here it is. Leandi is my spring and summer of 2009. More specifically it’s my most sincere release in a very long time. It’s the result of looking at the creation process in a different light, without engaging in reasoning and just letting the music come as it may. Normally I would venture into more ambient landscapes and experimental sounds, but I wanted this release to be simple and open. Heavily inspired by childhood, fatherhood, watching my son grow up, play, communicate and learn the ways of the world.” - MOSAIK

12 Oct 09 Jukebox #1 Eleon
What a cool start of our new machine! Throw in some coins and enjoy… the Spacemusic Jukebox plays all kinds of music, music under Creative Commons License, music with permission from the artists themselves, most important: music that is worth listening to, as many times as you want!!!
Jukebox #1 - Eleon’s real name is Michael Leon Rogers. Michael Was born in Waco, Texas in 1970. He was raised in Mesquite Texas and lived there for 30 years. He came from a home of loving parents that taught him the value of hard work and endurance. Back in 1998, Michael and his friend, graphic designer James Forbs, created Michael’s Eleon name and logo from his middle name, Leon. Even though he has composed music under his real name, Eleon seems to be the name people remember and like the most. Michael has had a few toy keyboards since 1987 and one professional low end keyboard (Korg N-364) back in 1998. He said he always felt like he could compose better if he just had the right gear. Michael has since moved back to Waco, Texas and in February 2008, he was given that opportunity to compose the music of his dreams with an apple imac and some software. “I now feel that I can compose the way I want to with only a little inconvenience, as my imac has limited ram and can barely give me the quality and sound I want,” he laughs. Today Michael is still creating new music under Eleon and has composed 115 tracks since 2008. Michael believes that if you don’t create and or write from the heart, you are not being true to yourself and the world loses out on the art and storytelling that we all need to keep moving on to wonderful worlds and dreams ahead. ”I thank God and my parents for their love and support and friends who believed in me.” Michael L.

07 Oct 09 Season 5: we are here, are you?
Hello listeners, so happy to see you are still tuned in. Season 5 is about to get started… Proud to present new series for this new season but first of all We’d like to thank you all for supporting the show by downloading, listening, sending e-mail, posting comments and telling people around you about our podcast. This is very much appreciated! Thank you.
Audio wise the show will go on. Video wise we’re very sorry to tell you that we simply can’t afford the HD project to be on PRO levels at this particular moment in time. During the last 10 months we have not been able to find enough sponsored support so we have to take a few steps back; the 10-15 minutes 720p HD video podcasts will stay online. Continuing the 720p can’t be done without further financial injections. That’s simply the way it works. Or in this case…. how it doesn’t work. If you happen to know someone that should be interested in a spacemusic sponsorship, feel free to tell them! Please let them contact us via our Spacemusic Gmail account: spacemusic dot nl at gmail dot com Who knows we can launch more 720p shows in the near future!
So what’s to be expected during the new season of Spacemusic? a New feature will be the ‘Jukebox” series. Listen to fine ambient /electronica /dance /trance /new age /chill /downtempo tracks. Very interesting artists and styles. When? Weekly! Start? October 2009 so that’s really soon. Information about the artist and track will be posted in the shownotes at spacemusic.nl Remember: our Jukebox can play ANYTHING. It’s a listener/artist supported show. Feel free to donate some coins for us to keep the machine playing.
For Non-Stop®Mix lovers out there… a new series called “Flying Dutchman” is about to be launched as well. Cool music for on the road, on the train, on the plane. New tracks and those we almost forgot to be out there, 30 minutes shows, sometimes even longer when the DJ simply can’t stop playing… ambient, beatless, hypnotising tunes and mixes, moving and static tracks just like that. We just love it! Talking will be rare, it’s basically music only. Track information will be published in the shownotes at spacemusic.nl and within the MP3 file itself. You should like the mixes…. When? Frequently. Start? November 2009. This series will be free of charge as we don’t want to direct our listeners to a ‘membership’ area, cause we don’t like to take care of the registration software implementation! So step on the plane and enjoy some excellent flightpod music and soundscapes…!
Daily life and news: every now an then your host TC will talk through some things with you on specific shows. These podcasts will be published between the musical shows.

If each of us would send one euro it would make a difference” AUDIO HERE: donate
