JPFM Band / Fox Band “Paris S.F.” – smooth jazz fusion

As the world continues to evolve, it isn't shocking that music also develops through time - and JPFM band and Fox band further proves that. Combining smooth jazz with hints of RnB, funk, trip-hop and lounge, Paris S.F. is not your typical instrumental smooth jazz compilation. Composed of 2 'faces,' Paris S.F. may not give you a long playtime, but it will definitely appeal to jazz, blues and jazz fusion lovers.

SaReGaMa “Samadhi” – relax, concentrate and unwind

It has been a proven fact that meditation can help people lower their stress levels, and thereby eliminate stress-related diseases such as migraine and asthma. And SaReGaMa has the perfect music for your meditation sessions - Samadhi. Samadhi means 'the highest state of mental concentration or absorption that a person can achieve while still bound to the body and which unites him with the highest reality.' This album includes a total of 9 cuts that will surely transport you to your own samadhi.

M.W.D. “Singing Forest [BudaBeats]”- NuJazz Relaxation

Looking for the perfect ambient music to listen to while you and your friends hang out on the evenings? Then let M.W.D's Singing Forest be your companion as you listen to its electronic flavor mixed with nujazz and a tast of broken tempos. Released under the BudaBeats Netlabel, Singing Forest would play with your aural senses with stock beats and tunes mixed together to create relaxing nujazz tracks. These is the kind of ambient music that would make you think that free music can really be this good.

Maya de Luna “Bar Stim.Art” – Cool Live Jazz with Bossa hints

One of the things that I love to do is to laze around one afternoon while reading a book and listening to good jazz music. While most jazz music features instrumental piano, drums and saxophone hints, Maya de Luna and Bruno Stimart paired up for this absolutely lovely live recording of jazz with hints of bossa nova. It makes you feel like swaying left and right as you listen to the music, with applauses and little dialogues in between songs.

Manu Chao & Radio La Colifata’s “Viva La Colifata” – Radio Crazy

Quick. Grab everything you know about what a music album should be. Now, grab everything you know about what music should be. Got it? okay. Put it in a box and hide it under the bed or tucked in a closet where it'll be safe from Manu Chao's latest musical project "Viva La Califata." Recorded in conjunction with Buenos Aires' notorious radio station, Radio La Colifata which is notorious by being staffed by current and ex-patients of a psychiatric hospital in the area.

FrostClick Special Sampler Mixtape by Enough Records

Enoughrecords compiled a sampler mixtape especially for Frostclick! Get a taste of the netlabel's best electronica, postrock, industrial, drone, and ambient by Sugar Overdose, Ikimashoo Aoi, Jenifer ?Åvila, Gilo, Nagra, Violet and the Mutants to name a few. The album is quick and dirty, with a lot of gritty vocals, heavy bass and electronic beats. The collection of songs is solid - everything works so well together since the sequence and combination of the songs is obviously well thought of.

Vate: Volt

Vate, a Mexican electro-music artist, is one certainly to be recommended. From the very beginning of Volt, his latest record, one finds that it is a release that cannot be neglected. There are some Kraftwerk influences there, and Turismo, the first tune of the LP, is a Tour de France for the modern era, when car rallies replaces bicycle ones. Orient Stress follows, and it's been the most energetic one composed by Vate, almost an EBM piece with a highly recomme

WhiteRoom – a neoromantic pop album by WhiteRoom

Ever heard of neoromantic pop? I must confess that I haven't, that is, until I came across WhiteRoom's self-titled album. "WhiteRoom" is fast-paced, mournful, and thoughtful---all in equal measures. The sound is quite unique. "If Radiohead’s unborn bastard children had survived, been raised on a steady diet of Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Duke Ellington, you might have managed to engineer a group like WhiteRoom," says one music review. I couldn't agree more.
