Episode 32 features over one hour of ambient and downtempo tracks. It starts with a new track from Eat Static, thanks to Ioda Promonet. If you’re a fan of Eat Static’s earlier work, you won’t be disappointed.

Then we shift into one of the many gorgeous electronica tracks in this episode…first, with Azhrak’s “Below the Arctic Ocean,” released on Jamendo.com to enthusiastic listeners who want more from this artist.

This is followed by Xerxes, of Norway, who often has given his music away under a creative commons license, but who also signed his album “The Mirror Formula” with the wonderful Cardamar Music label. You heard some of Cardamar’s own music in episode 30.

Two more artists from Jamendo.com follow….Serakina, whom you’ve heard here before, and now Ben OThman, with the very laid-back loungey “Arabica.”

Some of you might have already heard the music of SinQ, but if not, enjoy his track, “Infectious,” which you can download from his website. This track is followed by one from Klangstein, who’s been featured before in this podcast as well as in the XtraChill podcast. Klangstein, who’s based in Germany, sells his music online through iTunes, so please give him your support.

Then…enjoy the music of Sven Klitsch. The track you here in this episode was made available through the Podsafe Music Network, but Sven also has an album for sale online through iTunes, “Voyage.” The track here is not on that album, but if you like what you hear, please buy more of his tracks!

Everyone who listens to these podcasts knows that I like a lot of the music coming from Russian Federation, so in this episode, we have Ocean Shiver, who released an EP on the Electrosound label in that country.

And finally, we finish up this episode with two lovely tracks…one from Fosforo, in Italy, and the other, from Solaris Musici in the USA. Musici tells me that this track, “Forever,” will be on his upcoming album, which should release later this year.
