Another one of Suhov's projects, Jószomszéd, has a track in this milestone episode

uploaded 08 August 2009

AAC version (iTunes, iPod, with graphics)

It’s a milestone — episode #50 — with 13 horizon-expanding tracks. Let’s put on our headphones and celebrate together…

Andreas Schneider of the XtraChill podcast in Germany joins us to introduce the first track, which he chose just for us: Adult Only’s “Overlove.” Find it on Jamendo.

After the sophisticated chill of Adult Only, we get into some electro fusion: enjoy Tikki Masala (from Belgium) and Metastaz (from France), with “Maha Devi Shamboo” and “Resistance.” From there we move into some trip-hoppy beats:Motown Junkie’s “Farlopa Satanica,” Jószomszéd’s gorgeous, soulful “Csak az olvassa,” from their new album “Az ajtó,” Degiheugi’s eclectically epic “Mes nuits tziganes,” Geigermeister’s “Slow Groove,” and Flow Inc’s delicately heavy “Lost and Found,” from his EP, “Controlled Variables.”

Then, with a nod to earlier episodes of this podcast, we include a track from Germany’s Calm Be: “Again” — another classic gem from the Sofasound netlabel, which presented a gold mine of brilliant music circa 2005, but has not been updating its site for awhile.

The last three tracks are some of the many goodies of Jamendo.com: Maya de Luna, with the electro-chanson track “Les ondes de survie,” Pavel Fomitchov, with “Erotic Dream,” from the wonderful Tunguska Chillout compilation series, and Brazil’s Kaparao, with “Ybytyrama,” a lovely, soaring track that will leave you feeling really good.

Thanks for listening … it’s wonderful to have 50 episodes online for you to enjoy. Please send me an email to let me know what you enjoy, or what you’d like to hear on future episodes. See you next time!

Master Margherita is one of the many great artists in this episode, with a track from his new album, "Hippies with Gadgets"

AAC file (iTunes, with graphics and links)
MP3 version (no album art or links)

Starting with some heavy beats from Suhov, this episode combines some powerful trip hop and vocals with some ambient beats and downtempo grooves, and ends with a midtempo track.

Let’s look at some of these tracks. Merge of Equals is the latest artist to emerge with an album from SINE Records in Germany. The album, “Intoxicating,” releases on 24 July and you’ll be able to buy it from the usual suspects (iTunes, Amazon, and Beatport, for example). I hope you enjoy this track, “Hoshi No Namida,” just one of many good tracks on this album.

Celeste Lear joins us with “In the Middle,” from her first album, “The Echo Inside.” Celeste has two albums for sale on iTunes and through CDBaby, and she’s an integral part of Digital Bliss: with Divasonic, she co-produces compilations of women electronica artists. As you might imagine, I like this a lot. Celeste and Divasonic are going to do a special episode of “Expand Your Musical Horizons” in a couple of months.

The Warheads are back with yet another smooth track from their arsenal of great music. JRS tells me that they stopped naming their tracks, so this one is simply titled “06″ and it’s from their album “Telstar 18,” which you can download from their website.

Elon, an Armenian singer who lives now in the USA, is featured here (courtesy of Ioda Promonet) with “Armenian Girl,” from his album “Temptation,” which is for sale on iTunes and other online sites.

Arthur Loves Plastic, a prolific and talented artist in Washington D.C., is back with “Bring in the Night,” from her newest album, “King Shag,” which you can also buy from iTunes. Arthur Loves Plastic was in an early episode of this podcast back in 2006, and it’s good to have her back.

I’m happy to say that we’re also featuring a track from Master Margherita, from his new album “Hippies with Gadgets,” which you can buy from him directly through his website. The track is called “Koto.” Master Margherita makes a lot of amazing music, both as a DJ and music compiler, and as a performer. Please take notice of his own podcasts. Thank you, Margherita, for your inspiration!

The Zengineers are featured here with a slightly older track “Les rites de passage,” from their album “Mental Maps for Large Territories,” on the id.eology netlabel in Germany. Phour Trakk, whose track “Spirit Cave” comes up next, is part of the Zengineers lineup.

Guitoud is new to this podcast, but I like his music a lot…this track, “Long & Far,” is from his release “I & I” on the wonderful Fresh Poulp netlabel in France.

Music Inside, from Canada, has a track here called “Pic du Midi,” which you can buy along with their album from Magnatune.com or some other online sites. Music Inside is made up of two talented and highly accomplished musicians …listen to the podcast announcements at the end to find out more.

And finally, the midtempo track comes from Arthur Oskan vs. Spiral into the Storm…it’s called “Sun Squall,” and it’s from their “New York City People” EP, which you can buy from iTunes. Thanks to Decibel Palace for this one. (Note: I mistakenly announced in the original version of theshow that this was released through Electronic Eel Records, which is incorrect.)

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!

Happy May! Put on your headphones—it’s time to chill out to more sonic delights in this new one-hour episode of “Expand Your Musical Horizons.” You’ll hear some artists who’ve appeared in previous episodes, like Nemanja Lazic (from the Vorbic netlabel), and Strangezero, Black Era, and Amanyth, who distribute their music through Jamendo.

The wonderful new compilation series from Russia’s Tunguska Chillout Grooves has so many great tracks to choose from that two more tracks are in this episode: from MoVoX and MandragorA. You can also find these albums on Jamendo.

DreamKorp contributed a beautiful track, “In Va Müla.” If you’re near Lyon, France in May, they’ll be performing at Les Festivals des Nuits Sonores the 22-23 of May.

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.
