Episode 18 features some favorites and a few artists new to Expand Your Musical Horizons. We start out with Electrix from Berlin and a track called “Spicy Sand.” Electrix is in the process of releasing his album “On the Rhodes” online at venues like Musicload, and hopefully iTunes, so please support him! Next, we have The Kirbi, from Russia, with “Fairy Tale,” a track from a net release titled “The Trembling of the Turbid.” Following that is “Paralelos” from Polifonia Visual in Japan—a track from their album released on the Konfort Records netlabel.

Track 4 introduces a San Francisco combo known as Cubik and Origami, with “The Real Estate,” from their self-titled album (for sale on iTunes). Following that, another track from one of my favorite remixers, CDK (from Canada) with “October (in the end mix), featuring Calendar Girl.”

Then: meet Melou, a group that began in Guatemala and has members from all over the world, but who now live in Barcelona, Spain. Their highly acclaimed track, “Sweet Love,” is from their album “Communication.” (Thanks to Ioda Promonet!)

Then comes a track called “Pendahl,” from an artist named Shane Hendricks in the USA, who also goes by the name Sonic Deviant. This track is thanks to the Podsafe Music Network.

But there’s more. Another great music ensemble from the San Francisco Bay Area makes their debut here: the popular Beats Antique, from Oakland, California, with their track “The Lantern.” Following that is multi-talented Vate, from Mexico/Spain, with “Marimba.” And finally, we introduce a German electronica artist named Matthias Springer, who released his EP, “Mechanik,” on a German netlabel known as Gargan Records.
