Courtesy of Kill The DJ/Family Recordings, we have this time a very special mix from Ivan Smagghe and Tim Paris. It’s a very ecclectic mixture of forgotten Rock, Jazz, Downtempo, Easy Listening, mixed up with some obscure Kraut Rock and ambient electronic sounds that seem to be actually some recorded extra-terrestrial activity.

This mix is dedicated to new artists like Stee Downes, Feist, Trinah, Gabin, Bliss or Florens, which I have not included in a lounge mix so far. Don’t you agree that every song has deserved its appearence? Moreover, you will find known artists like Blue Six and Morcheeba in this mix but also special songs like Hildegard Knef’s ‘Wer War Froh, Dass Es Dich Gab’ and Victor Davies’ ‘End Of Time’ – the first being famous for the lyrics, the second for Victor’s voice. Please also pay attention to the classic songs, Kelee Patterson’s ‘Magic Wand Of Love’ from 1973 and Dusty Springfield’s ‘The Look Of Love’ from 1967. If there was ever a song in music history that said ‘sex’, the latter it is. Hoop-C.

It is always a demanding task to look out for different artists that share a specific style of music. You will probably agree that artists like Goldfrapp, Tone Loc, Norah Jones or Clara Hill do not have much in common at first sight. However, in combination they serve the same mood and create a relaxing and warming flow of music. Most titles on this 5ths edition of lounge mixes were released in 2007 or 2006 but as always I have also included some classic songs like Tone Loc’s ‘All Through The Night’ from 1991 and Shirley Bassey’s 1970 cover version of ‘Light My Fire’ which was originally released by The Doors in 1967. My personal favourite on this mix is Goldfrapp’s ‘Pilots (On A Star)’ – not typical for Goldfrapp, but famous for me. Enjoy!

When Martine Girault’s “Revival” was released in 1992 lounge music was not yet a brand at all. However, this song (and many others from older days) represents very much of what I understand under lounge music. It is laid back downtempo music; very much cooling down but at the same time inspiring. Many songs in this mix follow that definition, e.g. Ursula Rucker’s “Circe” or Jay Jay Johanson’s “Tell The Girls I’m Back In Town”. However, I included also some mellow and soul songs in this mix to keep it balanced. Therefore, you’ll find names like Incognito, Afterlife and Grace Jones on the mix as well. Please pay special attention to Hildegard Knef’s “Du Bist Mein Salz In Der Suppe” or Sting’s “Windmills Of Your Mind” – they are remarkable classics, I love them.
