after the liquid lounge debut with the huge success of äliquid
lounge - chilled senses 01ô, the new label now comes up with
another sensational project: planet lounge. planet lounge is a
collaboration of three outstanding international artists, each of
them with a different musical heritage. itÆs a joint venture by
japanese-german electronica genius naoki kenji, german jazz
pioneer christoph spendel and percussionist hakim ludin. the trio
showcases not only its exceptional talent, but also helps defining
liquid lounge as a quality outlet that is always on the hunt for
new sounds and exciting musical projects.
planet loungeÆs äelectric boleroô is an innovative and extremely
deep musical journey, combining different musical genres to create
a very special listening experience. jazz improvisations are fused
with electronic soundscapes and organic percussions meet with
dreamy harmonic textures. smooth strings lay down on finest
downtempo grooves, while warm basslines and house influences
collide with sounds from outer space. these nine astonishing
tracks deliver a modern, contemporary vibe and represent the
lifestyle that liquid lounge stands for.
planet loungeÆs äelectric boleroô will lift the listener higher
above the clouds and will take him on an atmospheric trip to
unexplored electronic jazz territories. mellow, melodious and
melancholic! an album that will go down like a storm both with the
jazz heads as well as the fans of electronic music.
christoph spendel is no stranger on the international jazz
circuit, a prototype crossover musician and multi-talent, whether
as a jazz piano or keyboard player, composer, producer and musical
traveller around the globe. heÆs also known as a teacher for pop
and jazz music on the university and music high school in
frankfurt, germany. live appearances at montreux jazz festival in
1997 or infamous berliner philharmonieÆ in 1987, collaborations
with many of the leading artists on the german jazz scene, as a
support for the likes of jim pepper, jon christensen, airto
moreira and no.1 us drummer omar hakim among others and with
countless releases on labels like mps, mrs, blue flame/bmg and tcb
to name but a few - it is simply not possible to name all the
highlights in christoph spendelÆs great career.
born and raised in afghanistan, hakim ludin is an internationally
reknowned modern jazzÆnÆworld-percussionist, whose magic rhythms
you may have already heard in numerous sessions with some of the
most requested jazz musicians around, as well as on his many
studio works and cd releases. he has worked with luis conte
(yellowjackets) or german legend helge schneider among others and
wrote several books that without a doubt can be seen as essential
for the genre. his individuality and lyrical approach are
constantly in demand for bigger stage performanes as well as for
film and tv-productions.
japanese sound wizard naoki kenji started his career as a keyboard
player in tokio and osaka, deeply influenced by electronica heros
such as yellow magic orchestra und riuchi sakamoto. with countless
releases in japan, europe and the us on labels such as sony or
universal/us , kenji has a great experience as a producer,
composer, dj and remixer (e.g. for al jarreau etc.). with his
forthcoming album to be released as a cd and dvd on leading german
listening label elektrolux, he will prove once again his ambitions
as a video artist, as he already did with his highly acclaimed
works for cult like tv program flowmotionÆ on public german
station hr). the planet loungeÆ concept is a brainchild of kenji,
who had the idea to combine the different musical background of
the three musicians. he also provided the complete drum and
keyboard-arrangement for the project.
the release of planet lounge (liquid lounge/icm media) is
scheduled for march 2002
