Episode 19 features 10 artists new to this podcast series. It starts out with a “Cafe del Mar”-type vibe, with Solar Sound Network’s “800 Jahre Dresden.”

Then we get a little more intense with Peresvet’s “Sy(Part 2),” on the Vorbic netlabel. Following that is Mr. Moods, with “Sensuality,” from his release on the Dirtybird Rexx netabel.

Another artist from the Vorbic netlabel, Traum:Welt, offers the deeply electronic “And So Do I.”

Moving into a little world fusion, we chill out to Samovar Tea Lounge (the same name as the tea lounge in San Francisco), with “Rumah Dunia.”

This comes from the label Beatpick in the UK, and you can buy it there. (Note: similar to Magnatune, 50% of the sale goes directly to the artist.)

Next comes Monophobic, another Dirtybird Rexx netlabel artist, followed byLush Logic (more goodness from Beatpick), followed by a fun track, “The Land of the Midnight Sun,” from the Slowdowns (Dirtybird Rexx).

Then we go into a retro swing/beat-infused track, “Sweet Man Like Me,” from Nils Hoffmann, on the Broque netlabel, and we wrap up with Granlab’s “Abendläuten,” from a compilation called “Spaetsommerkollection,” also on broque.de.

It’s been a fun episode of rich electronic grooves! See you next time…
