Spacemusic has published 40 shows in Season 6: Flying Dutchman mixes, Coffee Breaks, Non-Stop Spacemusic sets, the special Oliebollen Show in three parts during New Year’s Eve, Import from Frisky Radio (Shamanah set), Fresh Air! Lounge series. New items have been the TAKE 5 episodes and the Happy Hour shows; we’re pretty sure there will be more Happy Hours during next season.
It has been a pleasure producing the podcasts for you. It has taken many hours of listening, compiling, mixing, creating, recording, finalizing, publishing and promoting. Well, the promotion of the podcast is simply something that slips through the fingers all the time as there’s not enough time to handle that part. For those of you following us via Twitter, still the best way to stay informed, and via this site of course.
Season 6 is now releasing the final show. It’s a cool one with exciting new tracks, known tracks, some chats in between and serious non-stop moments. Plug in your ear buds…. Send some feedback if you like, we’re all ears. Looking forward meeting you on the other side of the break, which will probably be around december. Thank you for your patience, speak soon.

July 24th 2011 - opening for this episode: So Good Today, the Yoruba Suite Mix of this Ben Westbeech track, lovely groove isn’t it? So here we are to enjoy a fine new show, while the temperature outside is not even more than 14 degrees Celsius and tons of rain… Let’s get this lounge chair lifted off: the City Lights Lounge album brings a cool track All Day, we love the bassline and typical low-fi vocals…. The brand new album by Merge of Equals to be released July 29th and now on our show! Enjoy the -Heart Of Gold- remix by Gold Lounge, we simply love the vocals and super relaxed atmosphere, almost a pop song with a serious ambient twist! You won’t hear this on the radio is our motto… with our heart of gold we continue to the -Heart and Mind- the so called Sunsphere Mix is one major piece of art! Play this one as loud as possible and invite your neighbours to enjoy the lowww frequencies the right way… From here we go -where the water is- a VARGO 10 years of the best, to be released by August 12th. Sine will show you -The Return - from the Cosmic Chill Lounge vol. 5 compilation, a musthave in your collection. Smoothly but surely it’s time to enter the tear zone - Dry My tears - by Triangle Sun for we know how it feels sometimes… And then -We Go Forward- a track that needs some extra translation if possible so we love to hear from you…. Beautiful vocals by Lena Kaufman, something special to keep safe in your libraries. Another shower now…. for the greenest plants you can imagine! This track -Beautiful- by Late Night Alumni still is what it says. Now we go behind the scenes… please do remember the name Moodorama, enjoy the Mystery In A Cup Of Tea. Time for the Daily Phenomena by Alexel, certainly keeps you in the right mood and makes you fly away…. and travel with Fade for the -Wonderful Time- track which is really outstanding. Still with us? Good! Cause it’s time to say goodbye… Bye bye to the past, Hello to the future. You know who you are. Life has been crazy the past couple of weeks/months. Love has been making us crazy as well. Some will stay, others will disappear, everything will change, nothing’s the same. Please listen to Andrew Belle’s track -In My Veins- it really makes you think, feel, cry, laugh and so much more….

June 5th 2011, time really flies, preparing for Summer… but first open up this show with this marvelous uptempo track by Alpha 9; it takes me back to this weekend in Brussels where I first heard the song on the portable device the other night. Brings back memories and intense feelings - “zo mooi kan muziek zijn” - Let’s continue our journey through the downtempo landscape now…. we meet Vargo and speak One Language to keep things easy, in the Love Lounge is waiting for us: Jean Mare with a special guest star Svetlana. Now let’s ‘Get it On’ with Soundset City, lovely track with a smooth groove and very catchy piano and chords, sticks in the head for sure! Ice cubes from Richard Bonnee, beautiful arrangement, sounds and patterns we hear in the ‘Arctic Circle’… pay attention to the guitar FX, we love this song. Time to sit down, don’t need words to say… ‘Still’ is still my song for you, I feel like a child, you’re there. Turn it into water and fly way, the magnificent sounds of Deeper Sublime really keeps us chilled on our way to the Promised Land by Gold Lounge…. Close your eyes and feel the Omni Ambient; DigiTube superbe soundtrack music just before the beats come in again: we get some Opium by Merge of Equals, tribal influences, great atmopherics and bleeps, album available by June17th and first here on our show! Sit down now and enjoy the sight: Tranquil Dusk has it all, guitar, strings, piano, easy going grooves, fantastic music from the Cosmic Chill Lounge vol. 5 album. Men come from Mars, women come from…? Enjoying the Waterfall effect by Setsuna. Time to get into trance: unique track ‘In My Mind’ by Merge of Equals, try this in your car, hope you have this nice woofer blasting you off this world… and to make this journey complete we invite you to breathe ‘Atesh’.

07 Jun 10 Coffee Break: 64-bit
New studio setup now includes Logic Studio 2 and it works great! Took a little while to upgrade and update but oh yes…. we like it a lot here in the 64-bit mode environment. If you are a Logic 8 user, it is very much worth it to move on. Allright, hear hear, good music for you: first of all we found this track by Mosaik called Imogen Heap which is a nice kick off for this Coffee Break. From France comes the one and only Alexel and we’re proud to have him on the show playing two tracks from his soundtrack ‘No Gravity’, the PSP game out there. We already knew that New Zealand is a beautiful country and it certainly brings us excellent cinematic music performed by Crash. Mike Beaver has released one of the best series we’ve ever heard: Music for Films volume 1-4 are available. Everybody should get a copy and play at their homes… no more stress! The same goes for a very pleasant meeting we had with D.P. Kaufman. His brand new album ‘As The Ruins Falls’ has a place on our iPod now and will stay there…The music can be described as dreamy and trippy, various styles combined on one album; soundtrack meets IDM, Electronica meets Ambient. File it under ‘Refreshing’ and ‘Reload Yourself’… we love it! Off the Sky offers you the deep part for this show. Finalized by Anton Kapela and Arthur Durkee playing loops and guitars that simply sound very ambient. Enjoy this show!

END
Coffee Break recipe: as so many people ask me about the show and what I use for the production, here’s how to make a show in less than 1000 words…. Collecting and compiling the best music from all over the world, glue them together or bundle them like they really fit together, editing EQ and start-end points where necessary, collecting necessary information for being able to publish where to buy the records and find out more about the artist. Then: record the show and don’t forget to get a big cup of coffee…
After recording comes the mastering, bouncing and compression to mp3 format at 192Kbps stereo for best listening experiences and acceptable audio file size. All things on a Mac: the production of the show in Logic Studio. We also use this for bigger projects and it’s the best we know. Microphone: AKG Perception 200. Alesis Audio Interface io2. Meanwhile: create shownotes for the show, that is the storyboard with time codes for all tracks. Include links to iTunes Store or the artist website, whatever is most handy for a track in particular. Shownotes need to be saved as a text file, copy/pasted this into the actual post on the Spacemusic website later but also paste to this new pdf file for the Spacemusic App on the iPhone/iPod Touch. iTunes: add the compressed mp3 file and tag the file with all data, title, album, genre, lyrics, illustration. Front-end listening to the entire show before uploading to the server, if there’s something wrong one needs to re-open the project and filter out the error, compress it to mp3 again. Upload the mp3 file to the server.
Creating the RSS post on the Spacemusic server, add tags and SEO info. Adding the ‘podcast’ play arrow. Adding the photo/logo for the episode. Adding the media file: the actual show mp3 that was uploaded to the Libsyn server. We also create an extra post on this server for the parallel iPhone App feed with the same enclosure: the show mp3. Tags and bonus content for the iPhone App: the PDF file that has been created earlier plus some fine artwork in .jpg format. Open up Photoshop for making the 100% version and the 33% transparent version cause one needs to be able to read the shownotes with the artwork in the background. Credits to Shinsou for designing the Spacemusic App Artwork. Are we there yet? Let me see: checking all links from the shownotes to see if they work well. If yes: hit publish on both servers. Testing both the RSS feeds. Downloading the files and play the files. I think that’s basically it…. per show it takes app. 8 hours to do the job, depending on the availability and quality of the music of course, sometimes longer, never shorter 
Enjoy your coffee!
