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.

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.”

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…

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.
[Kim Ault, 1997]

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”
