Astronauts of Antiquity’s Rocket Science for Dummies is a solid downtempo/pop/jazz album with inspired songwriting, mellow vibes and good musicianship. Think of Morcheeba’s first 2-3 albums or Zero 7’s debut, Lamb or Thievery Corporation and you’ll be prepared for what the Astronauts are gonna bring to the table.

Check the links below while you’re enjoying the songs..

Musetta’s new album titled “Mice to Meet You!” is out on the fabulous Irma Records who’s single handedly shaped the Italian lounge scene for decades. Seductive jazz noir vocals from Marinella and nu-jazzish beats from Matteo make this a versatile album covering genres like downtempo/triphop/lounge and deep house.

One of Austria’s finest nujazz/downtempo artists and a member of the original Vienna sound alongside Kruder & Dorfmeister. Klaus Waldeck has released a new album after 2001’s The Night Garden. The opener track “Make my day” was released last year as a single and was drafted for a Mercedes ad, so it might be familiar to you.

#21 is done by error101 but she hasn’t got the time to type anything up right now. It’s a mellow show like her previous ones, lots of downbeat & nujazz stuff, some jazzy hiphop, roots & afrobeat and jazz. Enjoy!
