Sounds LikeAlthough influenced by many of the above artists, John tries to create a magical and unique sound that transcends description. He provides a masterful collection of eclectic influences, all woven together into a compelling tapestry of lush soundscapes. Jazz, ambient and progressive elements are frequently anchored by a danceable rhythm section. Diverse ethnic percussion on many tracks, provides for a memorable multicultural experience. GROOVIDI

Now look at those pics.. I would love to be chillin out in Paradise.. however, I am stuck in Toronto!

It has been a glorious day though, so have been enjoying sitting on the patio, bees buzzing, birds chirping and generally thinking life is pretty good right now, despite all that is going on!

Have a fab weekend

hi mista pedersen,

how re u doing? hope u re having a good weekend so far?

just realized that u have uploaded a few new song, which we re checkin right now;

it's still sounding really peaceful and relaxed...it could be really a soundtrack for the travel agencies, or it could be used on the plane before the plane takes off....respect to ur chords once again....*slippery_slide* is our fav., diggin that beatwork there, which is quite into dnb and of course ur nice synthsoundz....nice tune....

have u already checked our latest addition *rising rhythm*? it would be nice to know what u reckon about that one...

cheers & have a good week

ez mista there

how is ya goin? hope u had a nice start into the new week...

just wanted to inform u that we have uploaded a new tune *RISING_RHYTHM* which is definitely a wicked one - you simply have to check 'em out...

you gonna hear fat basslines, different from both techno and jungle, wicked & heavy breakbeats & of course some fat synth's...

it relies heavily on samples and loops, mixed with pumping repetitive rhythms and melodies...

hopefully, u like that one & it would be nice to know what u reckon about it...

have a good one & all the best to ya

cheers out of Switzerland
