Chances are that you do not recall dreams (REM-sleep) that often. Perhaps you even wonder how to dream. Well actually, we dream each and every night of our life independently of whether we recall dreams the following morning.

Dreams are full sensory experiences in which we experience a dream reality so immersive that in most cases it is indistinguishable from waking reality. In dreams we embody all of our dream senses in the same way as we do in waking life: we can see, feel, hear, taste and even smell in dreams.

Now imagine the possibility to attain dream awareness while you are still in the dream. Imagine how this awareness would allow you to direct the dream to your every desire. Imagine the boundless opportunities to acquire awesome extra-ordinary experiences. Say hello to lucid dreaming. Say hello to the extraordinary and most wanted Spacemusic Lucid Dreams series...

WARNING: Do Not Play this episode while driving your car! Enjoy this mix at home or in situations where you don’t need to stay alert.

Enjoy ~TC

August 29th 2013 - show 8.14 is an intense mix of ambient and electronica from this planet and beyond. Sometimes our blue planet is getting too small and too scary. As a reaction, this show is a ticket to a place where you can feel safe and relaxed. Enjoy!

Let’s start slowly... with Shane Morris and Mystified; the track is called ‘a struggling new form of life’. Not only do we like this title so much, it sets the theme for this mix like no other track could do. Superb!

Arriving september 10th but already on our show.... the brand new album by Darshan Ambient! First you hear ‘Fields’, later in this mix the title track of the album called ‘Little Things’. The album? Not little at all

Back from the silence.... it’s Planet Boelex! As soon as you hear the sounds you will recognize the typical Boelex approach; two tracks back to back, a collaboration between Boelex/Mosaik and a track by Boelex himself. Also check the 8.14 LOG file for more info about this brand new EP release. It really seems like yesterday we played the first track by PB on our show.... remember Swamp Gas back in 2005?....

July 25th 2013 - Listen.... hear and wow! Fantastic to post a new show in the middle of summer! No summer break this season; here’s a very cool episode filled with the best electronica for your hot summer nights...

The track Dreams by Astronaut Ape is coming from the brand new Microcosmos Records release called ‘Ten Minutes Eternity’. File this one under Cinematic Ambient or Soundtrack Electronica if you will....

We are in the World of Sleepers now... Carbon Based Lifeforms still amazes every time I listen to the album; pretty unique release with sweet melodic ambient tracks that one will never forget. And then... iWorld 2.0 by Astronaut Ape. Wow....! Speaking of perfect combinations sound wise: this track says it all, the beats, the synths, the claps, the echoes, the bassline; sweet and melodic so we can drift away further and further into deeper space now...

JJune 22nd 2013 - the key to your imagination... this episode shows you where to find it. Perhaps you’ll find it easy, perhaps not. Try and think about nothing, just listen to the wonderful music in this mix.

Astropilot starts the engines... very spacey atmospheres by the guy from Siberia who has been active in the music scene since 2000. Unique way of music production and presentation.

Carbon Based Lifeforms has made many albums; time to grab one from 10 years ago... the Hydroponic Garden is one big space adventure for sure! Listen to the title track by these two sound wise men from Göteborg, Sweden. By now you should see the Earth pretty good from here....

On the timeline: Solar Quest, the album ‘Orgship’ from 1995. Wait a minute... that is 18 years ago friends of Spacemusic! Do you remember the time? I told you we were going to blow you away this show...

The Air, the Light and the City by Sternenspringer, the latest release by Lorenzo Montanà, the wonderful spacemusic by Nimanty (there’s a full HD video available on YouTube) and last but not least the Light Of Aluna by Anima... you’re not dreaming, this is real! This is called Spacemusic and we’d like to thank you for flying with us.

Enjoy this mix at least twice...

June 4th 2013 - Time to go deep this episode...... meltwater, icecap, space sheep and false dawn. Just a couple of titles of tracks you will hear this episode. After our party-weekend (Celebration of the new Fresh Air! formula via Mixcloud) this is a very welcome after-party mix.

The opening came to us via e-mail; JEFX makes music of all kinds, we sure do like this ambient piece! Followed by the brand new album release on Ultimae records, the new MIKTEK album called ‘Elsewhere’ is a true sweet ambient release; perfect for livingroom and bedroom.We play three tracks, you find the markers...

Time for great music from Germany with Erik Seifert, music we should play more often I think... it’s adventurous and well produced, certainly tracks that tell a story and have this typical classic electronic sound we grew up with. Two tracks from two different albums, you’love the pieces and your neighbours as well.

‘Your Personal Sun’ by ASTRONAUT APE... what can we say?.... brilliant piece! Play it loud. It’s the album released on Microcosmos Records, one we’ve played more before because it’s good, very good stuff. The ‘Borderline’ track by AES DANA gives that lovely deep feeling, mixed with steady beat, fancy percussion and wide reverb.... just awesome in every situation...

April 30th 2013 - we have a new King! After 33 years Queen Beatrix (1938) is now... King Willem-Alexander (1967) and Máxima (1971) of course as his Queen.

Reason enough for us to play some tracks on this very special day today and welcome you to an Orange-tinted country. To celebrate the past and future: it’s the Final Queensday in The Netherlands.

“Lieve Moeder...” words by Willem-Alexander to thank Beatrix, his mother, is followed by a remarkable track performed by Krister Linder. There’s only one way to experience this song: play it loud! So many tones and details, so much beauty can be heard and the voice of the heart comes from Krister. Superbe!

Sonne, ist das neue Schiller album. Guten Abend! After watching the Bluray we just wanted to treat you with at least two tracks; Revelation and Berlin/Moskau can be found on the latest album ‘Sonne’. You can buy the release in many variations, from deluxe till super-deluxe. The typical Schiller style, just very spacey, great sounding and perfectly mixed. We have one suggestion though: Schiller should pay more attention to his live performances in the sense of keeping those acts more compact, more to-the-point and having a tempting climax, all within 90 minutes. Possible? Just a thought….

April 14th 2013 - Spring has arrived! Temperatures in Rotterdam till 22 Celsius and warm Spanish winds... Now look at the previous episode text intro and compare! We’re happy creatures in The Netherlands!

Welcome to a new series we launch here today; music in cinematic style. Picturemusic contains original motion picture soundtrack files or files that could/should have been the theme of a movie.

Part 1: Escape from the Planet

Ramesis B. how did we meet? The typical; way things go... watching a certain clip on Vimeo, music score by this sound magician, check out his Soundcloud for sure... tons of good tracks! The latest album by D.P. Kaufman is something you should not doubt buying for yourself, just go get it, it should never leave your iPods. Same goes for Mark preston, no matter how many times you’ll listen the album Nature and Design, it was designed for repetitive listening….

March 24th 2013 - the coldest day of this century, at least in Holland. The wind is cutting faces today so we stay inside, listen to music, sleep some extra, and record this legendary show series, Lucid Dreams. This volume 5 will take you away from your daily life, further from the ground than ever before. It’s time to dream.

The opening is done by Ben Cox, from his album On Water it sets the tone to kind of ‘Jazzy’ atmospheres which makes it possible to go anywhere...

The Montreal duo Elsiane performs a track that you’ll only hear on a show like this... Vertigone is not your average song, but most excellent as the glue between Ben Cox and Steve Roach, the Back to Life album shows another super ambient side of Steve; we go deeper now, total relaxation, switch of the ‘Think’ mode....

February 25th 2013 - Hello Earth men and women.... we’re so lucky & happy we’re still here!

Asteroid 2012DA14 passed Earth at only 27,700KMs distance, dear Spacemusic friends. Listen to this episode to hear the best music that illustrates not only our well deserved survival but the earlier meteorite crash in Russia as well.

Kind of funny when you think about it... 10,000 tons of mass entering the atmosphere, shockwave releasing 500 kilotons of energy, the power equivalent to more than 50 Hiroshima bombs, 20,000 people searching, finally found this ice hole being 8 meters in diameter (50 feet according to others) At least 53 fragments confirmed to have come from space have been plucked from the ice-covered Chebarkul Lake…..

February 10th 2013 - ‘Under the Stars’ takes you out for a magnificent in-space cinematic experience... music that came to us via e-mail, via postal, fresh new releases, items never to be forgotten anymore.

First of all David Leckenby plays this dreamy and groovy track called ‘Home’; this one really kicks off the starry night you can expect this episode.

The Kahvi label dropped a song in the box that we can’t stop playing here in Rotterdam... ‘When the Sun meets the Moon’ by 4T Thieves is not only a fantastic space track, it’s a song that should be on your iPod forever! Feel the groove, hear the unique chords, enjoy the magical sounds that Nik included in this track and follow the link in the shownotes to download it for free….

The End of the Year podcast by Spacemusic..... the Oliebollenshow 2012 is here! We first started this event during Spacemusic #49 on January 1st 2006 called “ Happy New Music Year “ - the first End of the Year episode by Spacemusic ever released. During the show we played ‘Convalescence’ by Xavier Dang including audio comments by our listeners .... which turned out to become the ‘most wanted’ track and the ‘most discussed’ show in our podcast history! And guess what... the track is simply unavailable/very hard to find at this moment, something we didn’t cause we hope?

January 1st 2007; a Spacemusic Happy New Year video was posted. Still in the feed. Strange codec we used for that one. Everybody’s got to learn...

Tuesday January 1st 2009 : Spacemusic S4.10 GLOBAL FEED, we visited musical friends like I Awake, Jon Jenkins & David Helpling, Off the Sky, an exciting show, once-in-a-lifetime event.

Friday december 31st 2010.... the Oliebollenshow part1-part2-part3 online! Over 3 hours of pure entertainment.... Fireworks almost blew up our place! It’s within the Spacemusic Season 6 RSS feed and in the ‘Best Of’ feed because we think it’s a ‘musthave’ to listen to.

Now, it’s december 31st 2012: a new Oliebollenshow. It comes in two parts and you’re absolutely welcome to download and enjoy this event. It’s about the vibes, good times, music and fireworks...

Tune in for great electronic entertainment from Rotterdam, NL. We do not have any clue how many hours this one took to record.... ENJOY.

We wish you all the best for 2013!!!
Happy New Year.
