And then things still go a bit differently than planned, we can call it a challenge! I got sick in the Netherlands after my flight from Cyprus. Fever, headache, out of action for 10 days. But the show must go on!

This is where Higher Intelligence comes in ; Dr Sam was kind enough to step in and host this podcast. I would like to thank him for his pleasant voice and cooperation, you did not say too much Sam! You feel it completely! No one is irreplaceable, is it?

This and much more in the latest Spacemusic podcast. Sit back and enjoy ambient, beats, grooves, space and soundtracks – it’s all in there!

Sessions // Arrival in Cyprus

What I’ve been looking forward to for a long time … October 2024; join me on this special episode of the sessions podcast. From the Netherlands to Cyprus. Right through your speakers! A mix of music and a few words about the journey, the luggage, the hassle at the airport these days, the arrival in Cyprus, the beauty I see when I wake up in the morning, the sun, the vibes.

Had I actually left the island? Or was it something temporary? Destined to be there?
Since the very first landing in 2001 it has never let me go. Magical and reason for a sequel.

This episode is available in 2 formats: show format and an instrumental version without me talking over it. If you want to listen the instrumental edition, you can do so by supporting me on Ambient Zone (premium) or Patreon (level 3 ). The fantastic musical soundtrack in this episode comes from wonderful artists and is available from Bandcamp:

16.10 Deep Dish Delight (2024)

Today’s show is the second visit in the past … we go back in time and listen to a beautiful mix of cinematic, progressive and typical electronic tunes that made this station big! Just after Apple added the ‘podcast’ functionality to iTunes.

We shot up in the number of listeners, from a tight 100 to well over 4000 downloads per show. After that, however, it really took off with over 20,000 downloads per episode. The music is exceptionally powerful, even now. In fact: if you listen carefully, there were very smart people 20 years ago who knew very well how ‘question and answer’ works in music and why the tunes stick in our brains. Nowadays, this is different. More about this later.

Now sit back and enjoy this audio spectacle in a nonstop jacket, remastered, recompressed, sublime, except for a small harmonic overload distortion in the first track that could not be repaired. Can you forgive me, I hope?

Ft. Cliff Martinez, Mosaik, Spielerei, RymdLego, Jason Corder, Artemis, ENV(itre), Ascian, Mikael Fyrek.

Deep Dish Delight 2024 remastered edition, mixed by TC, August 13th 2005.

Sessions // Echoes from Holland

For this edition of Sessions, I took a few long walks in and around the city of Rotterdam. I took the metro from Zuidplein towards Centraal, got off at Wilhelminaplein, and had an adventure with escalators and passages. My goal was to make a recording on the escalator in the Maastunnel, a pedestrian tunnel; I will take you deep into the tunnel and along the wall full of impressive photos of how Rotterdam used to be.

The sound recordings are supported by great music; or actually the two merge completely, creating a new soundtrack that will stir things up, goosebumps and emotions will appear in many people. Various surprise elements, edits and a combination of effects. Enjoy this unique mix ;  a production that I made as a souvenir. A special tour, a special look at where I lived and worked. Echoes that will resonate for a long time!
