couscous

Making an Arabic influenced mix was in my mind for quite sometime now as i was always deeply fascinated by Arabian music and it's influences on almost every genre from new beat to house, disco and new wave.This is the perfect soundtrack for an exotic balearic summer party where east meets west.

Couscous Mix

senza fine mix

Here's my new mix that includes
Balearic tracks for new age travellers.

amor real

Jon Anderson + Milton Nascimento = Real love

greek gods

When talking about people like Loukas Sideras it's hard to be objective.The drummer of Aphrodite's Child apart from hammering his drum kit like Hepeahestus was an all round musician that produced an amazing album (One Day) ,that is hilariously good and expensive at the moment,made a killer disco album with his girl Sigma Fay and a prog cosmic monster of an album that is Ypsilon's Metro Music Man.The only info i got about his latest whereabouts is that he enjoys playing pool in a bar somewhere in the center of Athens in an area called Exarheia.If you are after an autograph from one of the gods try looking for him there.

Ypsilon-Silver Swan

temptation

After a nice break in London where i got to relax,contemplate on life's beauty,meet special friends,dance,laugh my heart out,walk across the river,buy records and breathe fresh air,i'm back to my homecity with renewed strengths but a feeling i might have left something back.Anyway the trick is to make your life better wherever you are so i just try to make the best of it here with all the problems that might be in the way.Spring is always a good time for change and wearing a smile.The promise of summer and spending days by the sea is close enough,the sun is starting to make it's presence more than obvious, so it's reason enough to start celebrating.

Mothmen-Temptation

Folk is not a four letter word.

Heaven & Earth - Jenny

greek pop

Made in the UK by two Greek brothers studying in the UK in the early 80's ''If She Doesn't Smile'' is one of my favourite pop songs that is sure to put a smile upon your face.This is the instrumental version that has a great name.A ''silly'' 2 minute tune of dreamy pop.

Fantastic Something-The Thousand Guitars Of St.Dominiques

religious

This picture was taken in some hotel i stayed last Decemeber while visiting the Highlands.Since the bible is not exactly my before sleep book of choice i settled with a copy of Altered States as my bedtime reading.The only thing in common between the two books is religion.I was always wondering if anyone bothers with reading the Bible in hotel rooms.Maybe next time i should have a look my self.This is some ''religious'' 80's pop courtesy of a band named ''Bible''.

Bible-Mahalia

party

japanese dolphins

This is quite rare video footage of massively underrated band.
Steve Jansen's short lived project with Richard Barbieri,called the Dolphin Brothers produced a great album of arty pop with a breezy feeling.Steve Jansen's voice was maybe even better than his blonde brother that fronted Japan and he looked really cool with sunglasses,even if there wasn't any sunshine around.

Track of the day!

S.O.S - Communion (instrumental)

dr rob-a place in the sun mix

Dr Rob tends to be one of the most prolific men on the job delivering on great mix after the other while in the same time succeeds in never being repetitive.So this time he focused on some 80's leftfield pop action.Ranging from the arabic flavoured mayhem of Pulse 8 to the weird balearic pop of the Impossible Dreamers this is definitely one to watch out for.From one of Tokyo's finest this is ''A Place in the Sun''
