“We have an extended show for you this month with more excellent music from Jamendo. The best of free creative commons licensed downtempo music. This month we dedicate this show to those in South East Asia who have been devastated by a range of natural disasters. The Philippines with servere flooding, Sumatra rocked by a major earth quake and Samoa hit by a tsunami. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.”

Pixicast Episode 4 travels the cyberglobe to uncover a rich vein of vocal electronica thriving in the independent zones of post rock, trip-hop, idm, alternative and related genres. Counterpointing this and rounding out the episode are a selection of funky and exquisite electro-instrumental sounds we just had to share. Show is jointly programmed by host producer Voide in Stockholm and publisher Pixieguts in Australia and focusses on the music of artists around the Palace Network.

Andreas says: “Juergen and I have launched the last of the three “XL-Summer-Specials”, and in part III you are going to enjoy us sitting under the stars by a bottle of red wine – celebrating the “International Year of Astronomy” with a muscial hommage to the legendary german TV-Cult-Show “Space Night” that has become a classic for all ambient and cillout-lovers!”

Max Waves ft Pixieguts ‘Reflections’ is part of ‘Future Now’ Ep.11 hosted by GD (aka the UK’s 1st music podcaster)

Thanks guys!

Feel free to contribute!

Reflections is the first track in a new collaboration between music producer Max Waves in Italy and vocalist Pixieguts in Australia. A downtempo ballad with a touch of classical, rap and trip-hop, we hope you enjoy…
Lyrics for the song are from the writings of Andrei Masliev (Canada) and TRavvy (Australia).

‘Reflections’ will be released later in the year on Max Waves ‘Music for Microworlds’ album.

“I must say this is one of the most engaging ambient records I’ve heard for a long time. There is undoubtedly a Kraftwerk-inspiration in this record, always a good recommendation for me. The mood is extremely ambiental (a stupid thing to say, but it is , with a very professionally arranged sounds and samples, creating sentimental and cold (but not hostile) atmosphere that neatly corresponds with album’s title and an overall concept behind it. As the mood of the record is similar and each piece is a part of whole it’s quite difficult to single out the best composition here, but I pretty enjoyed female (are they female?) voive samples from Bernauer Strasse, and I was also pretty impressed by Nordbahnhof, which is eight-minutes long, but not for a second boring!

In summary, I love the whole record. The sound, the cover, the idea, everything. It’s 10 out of 10 for me. Maybe there are hundreds of similar ambient records out there, but I don’t there. I truly enjoy this one.”
