Atiim Chenzira opens a “Can of Wormz” for us in this episode by introducing this track about the “push and pull of relationships,” which he recorded with Divasonic. You can buy this track at a number of online sites, but we recommend that you use bandcamp. To continue with the theme of relationships, this track is followed by Screenatorium’s“What if,” Weather Pending’s “Pieces” (from their debut album, “And How!“), Phour Trakk’s lo-fi “World Behind Your Eyes,” and Sel-P’s soulful “By My Side.“
From there, things get instrumental, with Alka’s “Blueberry,” NiM’s “Telephone Call” (which was on Fresh-Poulp’s “Octopus One” compilation), “Collaboration,” from -Maze- (on Jamendo.com), Lost Soul Refuge’s “Banshee” (from his album on Dusted Wax), a couple of dub tracks: Para’s “Component” (from the netlabel “A Quiet Bump” in Italy) and ManintheAttic’s “Aztarna” (on the Disboot netlabel in Spain), and concludes with a soaring track from Soundsache in Germany, “Demons and Devils.“

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

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.

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! Cary
