Episode 21 features some deep ambient tracks from Ultimae Records artists Solar Fields and Ghostfriend. Ultimae is an excellent label out of France that features deeply atmospheric, chilled-out soundscapes and beats and they have a large library of groundbreaking releases. To really appreciate Ultimae and their artists, I recommend buying one of the Fahrenheit series CDs.
We also have a knockout world-fusion track from longtime musician Jef Stott, who’s with Six Degrees Records. He’s been making music for a long time with different groups, such as Stellamara.
And there’s lots more music in this episode from independent artists that you should get to know. From Sweden, we have a lovely ambient track from Planet Boelex….affiliated for a long time now with Mono211.com (now in the Internet archives). From Hungary, we have Béla Bánhegyi, with a lovely orchestral electronic soundscape. From Argentina, we have X-tralounge, with the lovely “Seashore.” From the San Francisco Bay Area, we have a funky groove from Michael Dean, who is releasing an album in 2008.
We have two mystery artists: Sudaka, and Freifall, both of whom offered their music on download sites but who don’t seem to have websites so we can get to know them.
And finally, from Paris, we have a beautiful low-key track from one of our favorite artists, the Maido Project. (Be sure to listen to the interview with Pierre Baillot of the Maido Project in this podcast series).
