There’s plenty of orchestral chillout in episode 35. You’ll hear plenty of lush strings and synths and piano, with lovely chilled beats behind them. Don’t miss the lovely Spanish guitar.

We start out with a gorgeous track from DJ Answer in Serbia. You heard one of his tracks in episode 34. Then we pick up the pace with a jazzy track from Sunburn in Cyprus...one you’ll be humming long after this podcast is over.

We’ve got three more artists from Jamendo in this episode: Strange Zero (from Greece), Feather Drug (from France), and PascaleB (also from France). You might find yourself dreaming happily to their music.

Two artists in this episode release their music on netlabels: the trip-hoppy Throwing Snow (Bulgaria) was on a Dusted Wax Kingdom compilation, and Bichi (Denmark) had his track on a compilation on a Spanish netlabel, Plataforma LTW.

Alex, a remixer from Belgium, put together the lovely instrumental track, “Improvisation on Friday” and put it on ccMixter.

Hol Baumann (France) is an artist from the Ultimae record label in France. Thank you to Hol and Vince and everyone at Ultimae for letting me include this track, one of my favorites from his album “Human.” Ultimae is NOT a netlabel, so please go to your favorite music seller online and buy his music…or any of the artists on Ultimae.

And finally….Liquid Crystal (Russia) with his track, “Baja Mar.” I found out about Liquid Crystal because he posted a note on Last.fm, and I found his MySpace website and begged him for a track. So thank you, Alex, for letting me share it here!
