30 Nov 09 Jukebox #20 SINE
SINE is the musical project of the brothers Thomas and Jochem Hauser, who produce the successful chillout-acts ‘Skysurfer’ and ‘Emotional’ featured on many popular compilations. SINE blends electronic elements with pianos, guitars and vocals to form new Chillout/Ambient collages and which immediately enchant the listener.
Their first track ‘Always’ (taken from the compilation ‘Cosmic Chill lounge vol.1′) took various radio stations worldwide by storm and climbed to high positions in several charts.
The jukebox plays a track from the new release Chillbar vol. 2 (to be released december 11th 2009). It is called ‘Time’ , performed by SINE and certainly reflects thoughts and feelings that go with the december days; building up piece by piece, vocals, ambient sounds, guitar and a beautiful piano melody takes you to unexpected places; the wide break with a heart breaking synth lead will absolutely move you and lift you off the ground….! Take your time and enjoy this track more than once.

27 Nov 09 Jukebox #19 Deborah Martin and Erik Wollo
Deborah Martin’s passion is to visualize and create music that takes each listener on a journey through time and space. With a vivid imagination and a deep love of historic places and peoples of the past, we see her as being blessed; for they are few, those visionaries, who can bring forth into the present, and into our hearts, the spirit of that which has been so utterly lost in antiquity. Erik Wollo grew up in a small mountain village in Norway where his ancestors have lived and farmed for hundreds of years. Weaving through this exotic and timeless landscape of snowy peaks and deep valleys, you can still hear the music of those centuries flowing through a people whose culture is deep, alive and thriving.
Here we are: the Jukebox plays the title song of the album “Between Worlds” performed by these two great ambient artists. Deborah shares some insight into the essence of the work, “The American Indian believes there are two worlds - the world of spirit and the world of form. Creating a bridge between the two worlds are ritual, healing and magic. The music process presented here was created to represent with sound this bridge between the worlds.” Erik adds, “It is important to hear the voices of the past and how they lived in tune with the rhythm and spirit of the earth. With Between Worlds, we delved deeply into the experience, capturing the feeling of this American Indian heritage with sounds and compositions.”
Spacemusic.nl says about this album: “swept away from the present into an imaginary world that happens to tell the truth and nothing but the truth”

25 Nov 09 Jukebox #18 David Helpling and Jon Jenkins
A self-taught musician, David’s ability to “feel” the music has resulted in captivating albums that showcase his atmospheric depth as well as his rhythmic sensibility; As a full-time composer, David has written music for several successful feature films. After several intense years of writing and producing music for film, Treasure marks David’s return to the musical form for which he is most passionate. Working side by side with Jenkins, David’s driven pursuit to create the music of his dreams is on.
As a recording artist, Jon Jenkins sees it as his responsibility to reach out, grab the listeners by the ears, drag them into another world and show them around a little bit. “I’ve always been fascinated by the ability of a good piece of music to stimulate the imagination and transport the listener to another place in their mind without ever leaving their chair.” On his new release, Treasure, Jenkins has found the perfect musical collaborator in David Helpling.
The two express their vision on an epic and expansive scale, rich in organic textures and moving passages.The combination of these two artists is explosive and limitless…The Jukebox plays a track from a limited edition: “Beyond Words” the LIVE registration of the Treasure album. It is available from the deepexile website. In one word: a m a z i n g !!! This track ‘The First Goodbye’ has a feeling of saying ‘good-bye’ knowing we will meet again.

20 Nov 09 Jukebox #17 Logic Bomb
Gimme a beat! Logic Bomb was founded in the mid-nineties by Johan Krafft and Jonas Pettersson in Sweden. Their style: psychedelic trance/ambient. Their biggest hit is arguably ‘Ansi’. We noticed their music while clicking through the iTunes Store and looking for music by System 7. The illustration for the ‘Sonic Algebra’ album flew by and we tried a few…. wow! Our new Sennheiser HD280 PRO liked it too! It was a sonic experience that gave us an enormous joy and adrenalin and so we wanted to share this act with you, too.
The Jukebox plays ‘Reverser’ and it comes from their album ‘Sonic Algebra’. a Musthave for trance-and-dance lovers out there and audiophiles like we are…! Playing this episode “Extremely” loud is absolutely the best, let your car stereo run through some tests and let your ears rest a while afterwards…

18 Nov 09 Jukebox #16 Bad Loop
Bad Loop is Petteri Karjaleinen, born July4th 1979 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Yes, a lot of Americans do celebrate his birthday! Moved to Finland and studied in the Music Institute of Vantaa in 1991. He started experimenting with midi and tracker software with Jari Saukkonen, with whom he produced music until his departure to South Africa in 1995. His debut ep “Lumme” was released in 2002 on UK based net label Kahvi Collective and later in 2005, having moved back to Helsinki, Finland, he released “Luo” ep on US netlabel One, and soon it gained popularity in several online magazines including Beat magazine and even Der Spiegel. Bad Loop teamed up with a fellow musician Recue in 2005, for series of live performances in Finland, Estonia and UK until 2008, and nowadays he is performing with Jari, associated with Coral Visuals, who is responsible for the custom real-time visuals.
Bad Loop listens to music such as Björk, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Vangelis, Sia and Khonnor. He doesn’t like the music industry, nasty people and reality shows on TV. He does like Helsinki during summer, driving his car and good company… We’ve played more tracks by Bad Loop on earlier Spacemusic podcasts a couple of years ago. This time the Jukebox plays a track from an EP called ‘Avaruusromua’. The track is called ‘Glacier’. Play it loud!

13 Nov 09 Jukebox #15 Solar Cycle
Solar Cycle has been making music for over 9 years now in various styles and under several aliases. It all got started during the 90’s when he experienced music production and DJ sets. After moving to London a few years ago he (name unknown) met interesting people who helped him to understand the beauty of making music on a PC (perhaps it’s time for the Mac soon?) After a few years of studying music and composing, dance and techno stuff, trance productions, the Solar Cycle project really got started. A style that he refers to as “Summer Cocktail of Chillout House, Electronica and Ambient”.
Solar Cycle has produced 3 full-length albums: Silver Lights, Sunlight and Flare. The Jukebox plays a track from the ‘Silver Lights’ album and it is called ‘Sunrise’. For us this track has this kind of ‘Tangerine Dream’ mood and an enormous amount of cinematic potential, beautiful vocal adding and lovely guitar sample. Solar Cycle should get his name on the widescreen as soon as possbile, which should not be too difficult. Go get this album on iTunes and enjoy the Solar Cycle movie!

11 Nov 09 Jukebox #14 Esem
Esem is Bulgarian music artist Georgi Marinov, born in 1979, previously known as “eesn” and “stereoman” during his early demoscene days at NOiSE. He has so far released one EP (Ikae, vinyl-only) and three full length albums: Enveloped (deFocus 2002), Serial Human (m3rck 2003), and Scateren (kahvi 2005). Scateren was released under a Creative Commons license and is available to download for free. Portions of Scateren were licensed for a Nintendo DS game - Theta, produced by Vitei inc. Esem is currently working on a new album, we assume, as his website shows TBA for 2009….
The Jukebox plays ‘Dispehrse’ from the Scateren album; the first time we heard this track we were amazed by the hi-quality production level, the intense bass line, the wonderful depth and 3D experience! If you ask us Esem should release his work via the iTunes Store for example as Scateren is a diamond in the electronica genre, much better than lots of ‘average’ ambient/electronica/IDM albums out there. We ask you to post comments here at spacemusic.nl and make it clear this is a super release and it should be up there in the cloud on iTunes by a single mouse-click instead of the download hassle, right? The album could support the artist so… hello…? George? Action!

09 Nov 09 Jukebox #13 Ambientium
Meet Lubos and Lucie: Ambientium is an ambient music project founded on a fascination for the world, universe, nature, beauty and love which inspires us to create atmospheric music and which takes you into this story of the cosmos and being. Look around, listen to the harmony of the silent deep woodland, feel the energy of the spring-creek up in the hills, look into deep space and you will uncover the story celebrated in our music…
The Jukebox plays part one of ‘Another World’ from the album Fractal Philosophy: inspired by the Cosmos and processes inside where everything is about patterns. Look at the cycles from birth to death and death to birth, consider the shapes in the nature, the atoms and solar systems, galaxies…You will see much of self-similarity here. All these shapes and processes are beautiful, soulful and very inspiring. By exploring this beauty we can develop our souls which is one of the universal senses of life at all… (source: http://ambientium.com)

04 Nov 09 Jukebox #11 Nurion
Nurion is a project by André Geada, 16 years old, from Portugal, who has been producing music since he was 12. His interest in music started in his early childhood when he studied piano, musical training and choir at the conservatory from 6 to 12 years old. Later he found out about software called ‘Fruity Loops’, his kick-off for producing Drum’n'Bass and House music. Ambient music was a later station and started to get his full attention. He was invited by Buddha Mantra Rec. and Urban Antidote Records. André released a promo EP (with Lee de Forest colaboration) on Buddha Mantra Records in 2009 to promote his project. In August of 2009 the Spacemusic podcast was truly amazed about Nurion and the production level… at the age of 16 this musician entered the podcast on the Coffee Break episode in October 2009. Nurion tries to transmit a new form of thinking: Enjoy Life! The Jukebox plays ‘Love in Dub’ which is a fantastic easy going track suitable at any time of the day, whatever you’re doing. Future release via Ajnavision.com

02 Nov 09 Jukebox #10 Xerxes
Xerxes (reigned 486-465 BC), a king of Persia, made an unsuccessful effort to conquer Greece in 480-479, suffering a major naval defeat at the Battle of Salamis. Xerxes was the son of Darius I and Atossa, daughter of Cyrus I. When Xerxes succeeded his father, Egypt was already in revolt and troubles soon broke out in Babylon; further, there was still pending the matter of the Greeks, where the Persian defeat at Marathon called for vengeance. He crushed the revolts in both Egypt and Babylon with great severity, not sparing even the gods, and then turned to the conquest of Greece.
And now more about the ambient artist Xerxes…;-) It was hard to find more info, even his Myspace site doesn’t show much at the moment of writing this post, but here’s something worth knowing about: Xerxes, also known as Klaus Lunde, was born in 1973 in the southern parts of Norway. At the age of 14, he started producing music using an Amiga 500. In 1996, after having gone through various experiments and compositional phases, he finally arrived at a style he could call his own. Since then, Klaus has spent most of his time developing this sound. He is currently living in Tønsberg, Norway He is a deeply respected ambient artist and has played alot of festivals the last years, both as a dj and with his band “Xerxes Live”.’
The Jukebox plays ‘Can You See This?” from his album “The Mirror Formula”. Originally offered as a free download, released in march 2006. Re-mastered edition is now available from his website. We suggest: be gentle and pay a reasonable price for this release. One can choose not only the format to download but the price level as well. Cool feature!
