Intro from Eamonn Flynn of Under

We kick off this episode with an anatomically perfect downtempo track from San Francisco’s Under. It’s from their new album, “More Pleasant Grey,” and it should send you to Amazon or iTunes to buy their album for yourself.

But just to keep you on your toes, things suddenly get mildly edgy with an indietronica track from Bangguru in Portugal: “Andology.” Then, back to official downtempo, with Alejandro Rubio’s “Proyecto F.” This track is followed by Sonic Mystery in Slovenia — thank you for contacting me! They are sound designers Dejan Bucalo and Urška Rakovec, who’ve worked for impressive clients around the world and also share their music on Jamendo.com.

Then, we can enjoy to the techno/fusion soundscapes of Per Lichtman, whom you first heard in episode #44. Per has just released a high-energy single, “Escalation,” with some impressive remixes, including one from world-renowned house artist Andy Hunter. You’ll find these tracks for sale on indietorrent.org.

We’ve got some other artists who are new to this podcast from different netlabels: Q-Daelic in Germany (from Stigae) and Auto Pilot in the U.K. (from Broque), and two others who release their music through the Internet archives: Leon Somov in Lithuania, and Psychedelicious in Germany.

If you don’t know the Umma Project in Colombia, you’ll get to know this artist now. His track, “Oceania,” is for sale on iTunes.

And we conclude with a lovely track from Germany’s Frisch Moritz — whom I hope will release an album or sign with a netlabel soon.

Enjoy this episode, and send me a note with your feedback!

This episode is packed with downtempo-to-midtempo goodies—mostly shorter tracks—to get you feeling energized, yet relaxed, for summer.

We start with an introduction and a brand-new track from Adriana Kaegi, former “Mama Coconut” of Kid Creole and the Coconuts, who’s just released a new solo album, “TAG,” which you can buy from iTunes. This track, “Ooh-La-La,” has such a great bossa/lounge feel to it that it’s followed with a couple of brazilian-flavored tracks: Maïdo Project’s “Vem Ca (electro version)” and Pipo Pegoraro’s“Butiquim.”

Then we swing over to ccMixter, where we hear a lovely, chilled remix of Trifonic’s “Lies.” This is followed by Divasonic’s “Processing…Luv,” from her album “Changing Wind,” which is guaranteed to keep you in a good mood. (This album is for sale on iTunes and Amazon.)

Sunburn in Cyprus just sent a pleasurable Elektrohandel remix of “In the Sunshine,” so this track seemed perfect to include in this episode. This is followed by Argonika’s “Do You Hear,” a track that will make you want to sing along after a couple of listens. It’s from the latest netlabel release from Tunguska Chillout Grooves (Lilith, volume 3), which you can download from Jamendo.com and other online sites.

Lucrecia presents the poignant track “Like Being Home,” from the Spanish netlabel Superssonica’s compilation, “Music for a .net Generation.” This track is followed with a slightly edgier track from Lavinia Jones, “Ne-On,” which you can find on Jamendo.

Black Era, who releases their music on Jamendo and through their netlabel in Italy, A Quiet Bump, is back again for your listening pleasure. They’ve just released a new album (“Third Eye Guerilla”), to high praise. In episode #43, you heard one of the tracks from that new release. This one, however, “My Little Replica,” is from their previous album, “…then….”

Der Reisende is next, with a track from his release on the Austrian netlabel,Laridae. The track is “Stella Idlavi,” from his album “Die BlendendenLichter dieser Stadt.” And finally, March Rosetta wraps up this episode with “Moving Centre,” from the Breathe 03 compilation from www.breathe-comp.com.

JRS of the San Francisco group The Warheads introduces this episode and offers the first track: “Kim,” from the Warheads’ album “Vrykolakas Bride,” which you can download from their website. They’ve been making the scene for a few years and offering a lot of their music online (I first heard them in the groundbreaking podcast “Soilsound Chronicles” around 2005). This track has an easy, tabla beat that should get you in the right mood.

Pavel Fomitchov is one of the talented electronica artists who’s contributed some of his music to the popular new “Tunguska Chillout Grooves” series out of Russian Federation. His track, “Kama Sutra,” is in this episode.

Mystical Sun has a download on his website of a free remix of a track from his first release (“Deeperworlds,” for sale on iTunes), called “7 Generations (Earth Day ‘09 mix).” For those of you who’ve followed Mystical Sun for awhile, enjoy. And for those of you who don’t yet know his music….welcome.

(DJ) Maiia is from Moscow and I first heard one of her wonderful mixes on the super-chilled eilo web radio station in Bulgaria. So I had to pursue her and get one of her tracks in this podcast. “Changing Me” is an unreleased track by Maiia.

Per Lichtman sells his music through SoundClick. Imagine my delight when I heard “Oil.” So I asked him if I could play it here. Please visit his MySpace page or hear him in SoundClick and support his music.

Suhov is a Hungarian artist who distributes his trip hop, hip hop, and other inspired works on the ‘net. The link I put in the podcast might not work for everyone and I apologize, so go to his MySpace page to get to his downloads.

Das Kraftfuttermischwerk is a German ensemble who have some of their music on net releases online, including this one., “Blüte Seines Lebens,” from the Thinner netlabel in Berlin.

Ben Othman and Serakina have both been on Expand Your Musical Horizons before, and they both distribute their gorgeous music through Jamendo.com. Please visit their websites to learn more about them and listen to their music.

Stay chilled, have a cool drink, and see you soon…there’s more goodies to come very soon!

I’d like to thank Mika Flanger (and Blaque Unit), and Adrien Aubrun, two talented electronica artists, for contributing their tracks to this episode. I’ve been collecting some of Adrien’s own mixes for awhile, so I’m honored to include him in this episode.

Two slightly different ambient artists are in this episode: the jazzy, lush sound of Fortadelis (aka Tomislav Ocvirek), and the soaring ambient guitar of F.D. Project.

And if you enjoyed the dub track in episode #42, here’s another great track from the same “Dub Tentacles Volume 1″ Fresh Poulp compilation–this time from Japan’s Riddim Conference.

Apologies to StrangeZero and to early listeners of episode 37….I forgot to include “My Last Minute” as track 9 in this episode. I will be adding this track and reuploading it by 20 December. It’s a great track, and I hope those of you who listened to this episode already will download it again….

Then we shift into one of the many gorgeous electronica tracks in this episode…first, with Azhrak’s “Below the Arctic Ocean,” released on Jamendo.com to enthusiastic listeners who want more from this artist.

This is followed by Xerxes, of Norway, who often has given his music away under a creative commons license, but who also signed his album “The Mirror Formula” with the wonderful Cardamar Music label. You heard some of Cardamar’s own music in episode 30.

Two more artists from Jamendo.com follow….Serakina, whom you’ve heard here before, and now Ben OThman, with the very laid-back loungey “Arabica.”

Some of you might have already heard the music of SinQ, but if not, enjoy his track, “Infectious,” which you can download from his website. This track is followed by one from Klangstein, who’s been featured before in this podcast as well as in the XtraChill podcast. Klangstein, who’s based in Germany, sells his music online through iTunes, so please give him your support.

Then…enjoy the music of Sven Klitsch. The track you here in this episode was made available through the Podsafe Music Network, but Sven also has an album for sale online through iTunes, “Voyage.” The track here is not on that album, but if you like what you hear, please buy more of his tracks!

Everyone who listens to these podcasts knows that I like a lot of the music coming from Russian Federation, so in this episode, we have Ocean Shiver, who released an EP on the Electrosound label in that country.

And finally, we finish up this episode with two lovely tracks…one from Fosforo, in Italy, and the other, from Solaris Musici in the USA. Musici tells me that this track, “Forever,” will be on his upcoming album, which should release later this year.
