Description:Electronica with a heart
Genre:Electronica
Artist:The Rapture
Album:Rush

On this album I wanted to explore the current fashion for analogue synthesis and pure analogue sounds, placed against different styles of modern dance music but also continuing my efforts to write electronic music which takes the listener on a journey in every song. This album was six months in the making; written, recorded and produced in the second half of 2013.

The 11 tracks include rave, trip-hop, trance, rap and drum & bass influenced music unified by electrifying, screaming leads, pounding drums and complex arrangements, interspersed with more vocal sections than in previous albums.

Play this on your iPod in the gym and run faster, jump higher and hit harder. Play it on your car radio and I can't be held responsible for your speeding fines! Please enjoy...Rush.



Description:chillout music for late nights and early mornings
Genre:Electronica
Artist:Kalabi
Album:Flex Your Trunk

Flex Your Trunk sees Kalabi experimenting with some darker trip hop elements than on his earlier work for the first half of the album, with the second half of the album containing some beautiful floaty chill out as a counter balance.



Description:strings slowly plucked from the soul
Genre:World
Artist:Olexa Kabanov
Album:Breath of Times

New instrumental album Breath of Times from Olexa Kabanov with light and beautiful ethnic motifs.



Description:Just a pile of dirt and memories
Genre:Alt Rock
Artist:Jeromy Darling
Album:The One The You Loved

Somewhere between birth and death you begin to look deeper, to ask the big questions. Every civilization since the beginning of time has worshipped some sort of deity - almost as if it's written in our DNA. This is an album of conversations, rants, curses and longings for a God that repairs, that fixes all the broken parts.



Description: Renaissance and Baroque beautiful music revealed by Dutch gambist and multi-instrumentalist
Genre:Classical
Artist:Ernst Stolz
Album:Ciaconna

The Italian recorder player Romeo Ciuffa visited the Netherlands for this concert. We have chosen an all Italian program ranging from the Early baroque with Giovanni Paolo Cima (c. 1570 - 1622), till the high Baroque period with Francesco Maria Veracini (1690 - 1768).

On this album we have recorded some canzonas for solo or duo instruments (recorder and viola da gamba) and some sonatas for recorder and basso continuo. Karel Smagge also played some solo works on the organ of the Meerburgkerk Zoeterwoude in the Netherlands.

Although we were in this combination joined for the first time, our musical temperaments matched remarkably well.

This album was recorded during rehearsal time for a concert program with Italian baroque music in the Summer of 2013.
