Audio Interview with BT (Brian Transeau). He is certainly one of the most influential and groundbreaking figures in the electronic dance music scene. Not only composing music with instruments or software that other people have conceived but mainly by inventing and creating new software himself to manipulate sound and human voice and bring out to the open something that the listener is invited to experience for the first time. From  his first album at Paul’s Oakenfold  Perfecto  label in UK called IMA  released in October 1995,. It included his  collaboration with singer and songwriter, Tori Amos on "Blue Skies and  the 42 minute epic tune "Sasha's Voyage of Ima,  through his inspirational and very personal  “This Binary Universe”  that music critics and fans appraised , to his last double CD “These Hopeful Machines”. BT always manages to bring to his fans worldwide, music compositions,that are unique, very  personal and intimate,  but which anyone can identify, with and see in the lyrics,  parts of himself.

Interview with Pedro del Mar about his lounge/chill out mixed CD “Playa Del Lounge” which is out now via “Black Hole recordings”  Its summer and you are back where you belong. You are so angry with your government, the mayor of your city, who never repairs the damaged city streets, and there is no safe parking for your car. You are angry with your neighbour who constantly throws his rubbish in your garden; you are disappointed with your girlfriend/boyfriend because she/he promised to call you but he/she never did. You feel that the word is grey after returning from your crazy nights out in your favourite holiday resort, and you wish something would change your situation at least for some minutes.
