Ikarus a.k.a. Wolfgang Stindl started to work on the Ikarus project back in 1995, after years of studying music, making first experiences in performing & producing. Inspired by vast journeys and all sorts of ethnic music, Ikarus started to combine Electronic Chill Out tracks with sounds & vocals from all over the planet.
With the assistance of MP3.com in 1999, Ikarus got the chance to reach a wider audience, work together with musicians over the internet and to sell his Cd..s worldwide.
Encouraged by the incredible resonance from listeners and excellent chart positions on MP3.com, Ikarus released his official debut album titled "Ikarus-Touch the sun" on Sonic Images Records/Earthtone Records in january 2001, after being discovered by the A&R manager of Sonic Images Records on MP3.com.
Meanwhile Ikarus is featured on various compilations from different record companies and with different artists e.g. Moby, Faithless, Dead can Dance, Govinda, Tosca (Dorfmeister), Celtic Spirit, Miriam Stockley, Natacha Atlas.
On the movie "The Matrix-Revisited" starring Keanu Reeves by Warner Bros, Ikarus is part of the soundtrack.
Ikarus is also featured on the new US/Indian movie Flavours, which has got very nice reviews around the world.

The productive electronic pilot, weird multi-instrumentalist, extraordinary shining performer and magical workaholic. His personal output has already more than 2000 tracks and still counting. This new release "Detimorya" is bursting with beautiful electronic walls of sound and trance inducing rhythms, as you listen disturbing moody soundscapes become uplifting shimmering melodies. Essential.
RNDM5 is an all-round artist who has been a part of many musical genres and has now dedicated himself to sound destruction and mangled synths with respect to glitch, idm, electro and 8 bit. Samples and a wide variety of instruments aid in piecing the natural world to the realm of ones and zeros.
Section 27 present his sonically twisted debut release "Chasing The Wave", available now for free download!
Hello all, this will be our final release of 2009, and a great way to end the year... Pinklogik asked 10 artists and friends to remix her entire "Learning To Trust Higher Frequencies" album and what an eclectic and stunningly produced work this is. Each track has its own feel, thanks to the diverse range of artists involved in the project. A shimmering journey through ambient colours, broken beats, sweet melodies, a little bit of quantum physics, and is one hell of a trip....

[S27-030] MIN-Y-LLAN : Dark Days (Downtempo, Ambient)
We are fast approaching the last days of 2009, so what better way to celebrate than this release from Welshman "Min-Y-Llan" who offers us this collection of atmospheric ambient pieces, the melodies within are dark and cavernous, being the perfect listening for the walk home on a frozen winters evening. Each track has a very melancholic feel as if looking towards a future that isn't as bright as we hope for, but nevertheless are powerless to escape. Free download!
