18 Nov 11 Transition to Season 7
Hi Folks, how are you all doing? Hope you can handle the big break we’re having at the moment… Believe us when we say this has been for a good reason. It has been three months since the last Spacemusic podcast (of course you have been listening again and again to older shows we suppose…) We’re happy to mention there is something in the air. And it has to do with the transition to Season 7.
The new Season will start with…. a new website! Brand new, built entirely from the ground up. We’ve been working around the clock to make this finally possible and to keep all existing data safe. Search for ’spacemusic’ in the iTunes Store for instance and you will notice the variety of podcast feeds that are available. The new Season7 feed is already there! Subscribe now and you won’t miss a thing!
With regards to the new website, we’re not just talking about a new Wordpress theme, no. We’re talking a new CMS system, new database, everything new. No more Wordpress, all has been done the JOOMLA! way. How cool’s that? Well, hours and hours of research as JOOMLA! was kind of new to us. And still is…
One thing led to the other, the past led to… the past. The site you’re looking at right now will stay online actually, it will move to another location (folder) so you can always go back to check it. Nothing will be deleted! So how about this new site? When will it be available? Soon. Very soon. We will launch the site ‘on the go’ . The site will grow over time and you will experience regular changes, tests and additions. But most important: in a moment we will all be in Season 7!
One step at a time, and this goes for TC as well. So sorry to mention there’s something not good going on; it has to do with TC’s voice. Simply put: he’s not capable of talking without serious pains. The downside of his condition is that it’s not about a cold or the flu. The cause is still unknown; TC will see this ENT doctor in the hospital next week. Via the new website we will keep you informed. Let’s hope for the best.
Thank you all for your patience and support, see you on the other side!

11 Aug 11 Happy Hour ::: August 2011 (final show season 6)
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Happy Hour for august 2011…!!! The final show for this season filled with extraordinary music in the electronica genre. We’re proud to present artists like: CiYou, Easily Embarrassed, Jean Mare, Alexel, Planet Boelex, Saul Stokes, Xerxes, Carbonates on Mars and many more…
Executive Producers
Andrew W. - John H. - Rettward v.D. - Michael U. - Henrik J. -
Jeff W. - Marc V. - Stefan C. - Andy M. - Abraham C.
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.

29 Jul 11 Final Show Season 6
Here we are… just before the Summer Break in 2011 - like every year we will take a break, leave the studios, go out and relax, getting fresh air, inspiration, charging the battery. The Spacemusic battery is what we’re talking about. We counted 42 episodes during Season 6 of our Ambient & Electronic podcast; we enjoyed doing Coffee breaks, the NonStop editions and the new items called ‘Take 5′. We also enjoyed producing the Fresh Air! series which will be on ‘hold’ as well for the break. During the break please feel free to send us e-mail, please do send your demo/released albums so we can listen to these during lazy summer afternoons…
Will there be a Season 7? First we will dive into some figures, hosting bills, studio equipment and make decisions about maintenance. We are a non-sponsored station and this means we must rely on the support by our audience. One can make donations via the website and we need this kind of support very bad. So before we can think or tell about new programs for the upcoming new season, we must go and calculate costs and profits first. To be honest with you: during the past few months hardly any donation made it to the show; we’re talking a rare couple of dollars in 6 months time. We simply can’t pay the show from such amounts of money and after 6 seasons of Spacemusic and a very wide audience that seems a bit strange is it? Especially if we have a look at the download statistics for the podcast……
Each Spacemusic/ Fresh Air episode is downloaded app. 5,000 times. How ’bout if only one percent of these downloads would donate us one dollar? We’d generate 50 dollars each show. This would make sense right? This is not a stupid thought is it? This would solve our worries maintaining the Spacemusic podcast station. This would pay the bills and even make it possible for us to save some for studio equipment. Feel free to share your thoughts about this. Feel free to come up with brand new ideas creating a strong supportive community. We’re all ears.
So what’s up next? Up next is the final episode for season 6 and it will be a Happy Hour one! So we’ll chat some more about all the above and TC will share great new music that reached us by e-mail and postal lately. Music, some talk, interesting links to sites, cup of coffee, a nice final for the season. ETA show release: august 11th.
Stay tuned and enjoy your summer!

From the known and unknown past… inspired by a movie or two, this is Spacemusic in a very cinematic style. Not only music can bring back memories, this show proves the power of visuals as well. Even this film poster, even a title, it all makes sense in the end: we’re only human and we need this stuff to survive our very own thoughts. Wanna see this movie again? Listen to the episode, based upon Spacemusic #69 Loup Garou which was published back in 2007 for the first time. This is the remastered edition for free in 192Kbps mp3 format. Sweet dreams.

15 May 11 TAKE 5 ::: It’s Over/Pastory
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Once upon a time there was a boy, there was a girl, they liked eachother very much, their first kiss, many beautiful days, going out, having fun, being close, secrets of their hearts, sunny picnic, lovely dinners, drinks, ice cream, beach and boulevard walks, safety, sharing good music and movie moments, missing eachother, dreaming about eachother, they fell in love.
Some people, they tease one another, take pride in themselves, keeping the other one down…
Some people are born for eachother, they love to walk, holding the other one’s hand, they always understand….
Her magic eyes will always be.
Wij waren raar, maar zo ontzettend waar
