airsounds005 chilled: Bali Denpasar - Ngurah Rai DPS

After some upbeat tunes and mixes it's time to get chilled with a warm, positive, yet melodic compilation. I visited Bali last autumn for a holiday and it lived up to my expectations so much. As soon as I stepped out from the plane on Bali's airport in Denpasar I instantly felt relaxed even if it was a 22 hours flight on Cathay Pacific. Bali is the island of gods with rocky mountains, long beaches, unbelivable colors, clear skies and the happiest people on Earth. I never experienced people in any other country with such powerty, but in the meantime, even if the are earning 50 dollars per month they are the happiest persons in the world. What maters to them is the love of family, the religion and music in every possible way. To be honest I've had the best holiday on this little island and felt inner peace somehow while walking on the beach every day. That's why I made this airsound compilation for a chilled one with my favourite down-tempo songs. You can find some little gems in this mix, like Hooverphonic's "Inhaler" (best down-tempo song ever!), Esthero's "Song for Holly", Placebo's Kate Bush remake and Blue Tribe's "Summer's Gone" anthem which was a signature song to my trip. Enjoy Bali.

airsounds004: New York - John F. Kennedy JFK

My experience with New York started in 2000 when I was travelling through on JFK on my way to Miami. I returned to NYC in 2005 and have been there 5 times since. Words really can not describe what I'm feeling towards this city. First I felt it is going to eat me up, because of the huge buildings, streets, cars and the amount of people from all around the world. Couple days later I started to act like a real newyorker and still doing it about 5 minutes later I'm landing on JFK airport. New York is definately not America. New York stands on its own. Home of many cultures, home for rich and poor people and truly the capital of the world. I never felt anywhere on the world like I felt in New York. It was like to be in everywhere on the Earth in the same time. So many things happened to me there and I really don't know what to point out the best. The amazing shops on 5th Avenue? The vibrant nightlife in Chelsea and East Village? Or the beauty of Central Park on a Sunday afternoon? No, New York is more than that. It is a lost haven for people who pushing themselves to the limits in every aspect. My NYC mix about New York's biggest airport JFK is a reflect to the city special hard vibe. Lots of tribal stuff here with highlights from Suzanne Palmer and Holmes Yves. These songs always remind me my glory days in the big apple. JFK airport - I salute you and miss you...

airsounds003: Milan Malpenza MXP

Sorry guys, it took more than I expected to finish my new mixes. I have been working a lot and also travelled a lot recently so it was hard to find a gap in my schedule to put together another mix. This recent mix takes us to Milan biggest airport "Malpenza" which is located around 50 kilometres from the citycenter of Milan. One of the most important hub for Italy's national carrier Alitalia, this airport amazes visitors with high-street brand shopping stores, proper connections and rated as one of the most important airport when it comes to loosing passenger's baggages (they also lost mine a year ago) So be careful.
Anyway, Milan is great, fashion capital for the world, lots of nice hotels, clubs and restaurants, so this mix reflects to my journey into this nice city. The mix currently having funky house, soul and some latin house elements, also features some deep and trance roots as well. My fave songs on it are Gus Gus' "Desire" and Faithless' "Music Matters" which can be heard here in an exclusive remix by Pete Heller. My mixes always try to capture the vibe of the current airport and city, so Milan's mix is also gravitates like a journey into ur ears. Oh and there's always a light after darkness, so this compilation evolves into an euphoric anthem by Nature Wakes (which was one of my biggest fave recently) to keep u in a good mood while leaving Malpenza, the fashion runways, the shops and the precious amount of ur credit card on Via Manzoni...:) Enjoy Milan and la dolce vita!
