Expand Your Musical Horizons – 45
Adriana Kaegi introduces a track from her new album in this episode.
uploaded 25 May, 2009
AAC version (iTunes, with graphics)
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.

Next comes an XtraChill favorite, Frank Mackie , with “Dream Stereo,” and another, Charlie North , with “Flying Home.” But there’s more: Mavro , with “Love Light,” andStarKlounge from France, with “From Day to Day.” And last, but definitely not least, is a track from Marcus Zelonka , “Destination Moon (featuring Darrin Campbell Huss).”
Thanks, Andreas!

Expand Your Musical Horizons-episode 11
Aug 28th, 2009 by dj_cary
originally broadcast: July 2007
It’s only logical. Germany is the center of some of the most innovative downtempo and electronic music on the planet. So it’s about time Expand Your Musical Horizons did a podcast to showcase some of the best German artists and netlabels. And here to give some expert advice is Andreas Schneider of XtraChill.
It was hard to keep this podcast short, to just an hour, but you’re in for a treat. Starting out is Undo Silence from Hamburg, followed by Confused Man, who releases his music on the netlabel Sofasound. Then Electrix is back with “Berlin Am Meer, ” from his album “On the Rhodes.” With track 4, you’ll enjoy some trip-hop from another Sofasound artist, Calm Be, and then relax to a lovely world-fusion track from Ambrish, from Köln. Next is Cantaloup from Marburg, with a gentle, dreamy track from his album on Aerotone Records. Then we move from gentle to edgy with Dorntec, with a trip-hop/glitch-hop track from his album on Acedia Music, a netlabel. DJ Ax comes next, with an inventive electronic track that fuses classical with electronica.
Echofloat from Münster follows next, with a lovely chilled-out track that Andreas recommends. Then comes the ambient bliss of Spheric Lounge, an improvisational group that performs live from München. And finally we have alec troniq from Dresden, featuring a track he released with Phonocake records.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the eclectic mix…
