This week I wanted to get back to the bedtime mix and create something that would really twist you up and take you into different places and eras as you drifted off. For the first half of the mix you are in a silvery future with glistening glass skyscrapers and spacecraft zipping along the horizon but then things change with the track from Bent, things start to feel different. As "Moonbeams" ends you hear a familiar voice, something from the jazz age but it still sounds cohesive, and before you know it you are traveling back in time... Just trust [...]
True fans of music spend countless hours searching for that next great song, album or artist, whether it be online or in a local record shop. The beautiful thing about music in today’s age is that technology has created an infinite supply of great music that is available to us at the click of a mouse. How perfect is that? We can discover a brand new artist on the opposite side of the globe in seconds without a radio or a music television channel. It only makes sense that a website so dedicated to this gorgeous universe of music would [...]

There are three types of quiet time, when it seems that the world is able to stand still. It's early, and I mean early in the morning. When the sun has barely risen and most of the nighttime revelers have just gone to bed. I am able to stroll up to the front of the line of my neighborhood bakery and walk back in complete silence, surrounded by shuddered shops and street-side trash that has yet to be picked up. It's late, and I mean late at night. When those same night revelers are [...]

This playlist is for that chill in the air you're feeling right now, made entirely of electronic tracks released in the past few days. Sometimes you just need to zone out and watch the last leaves blow away. It's not really that electro, but Copycat's re-edit of Bill Withers' "Lovely Day" puts you in the right state of mind, and has just enough sheen to ease you into the next tracks. Give it a minute or so to warm up - this one takes its time, starting spare, but is worth the wait. [...]

Mmmgawd... Roots Manuva brings some Fruggin' Ruggsh on his newest creatush' 4everevolution. Although I'm not feelin' the dance crossover, the rest makes a Mr. Misty Freeze much tastier.

Super Organic. Put an umbrella in your drink, you know, cause' you don't want that ice to melt in the sun.. that's super smooth style. Girl From Jupiter - Lemongrass >i/n

Lemongrass is some quality German downtempo, released on the respected Compost label during the millenniuum spate of all things downtempo. Roland Voss , aka Lemongrass , moved through several musical phases before hitting his stride as a drum'n'bass/downtempo producer in the late '90s. The German-born Voss began taking drum lessons in 1974, and played with a variety of funk and (mostly) jazz ensembles over the rest of the decade. When the '80s arrived, [...]

I seriously might have to categorize Lemongrass' new album Pour L'Amour under 'baby-making music' in my library, cuz I can't think of any other description really. An interesting mix of house, jazz, and lounge music, Pour L'Amour , is the perfect album to throw in and enjoy anywhere you're with your girl or guy, and enjoy the ambiance. Think long car drive at night, or romantic dinner or maybe even overlooking the city from a hill. Take your pick, you can't go wrong. [...]
