A Strangely Isolated Place, a website, label and online community of ambient, chill-out and downtempo music, asked us (Orion & J.Shore) to make a mix for their Isolatedmix series. Isolatedmix is like Global Underground of the chill-out scene: artists like Ulrich Schnauss, Nick Warren, Carbon Based Lifeforms and Helios have contributed their own Isolatedmixes.
The mix is now online and streamable/downloadable on Soundcloud. It includes 18 tracks – mostly Scandinavian chill-out, some unreleased tracks and some tunes made exclusively for this mix only. I’m very happy of the result. I hope you enjoy it too.
Ryan from ASIP wrote a really nice introduction for the mix. You might want to check that out, too:
Like the massive spectrum of music in my head, Finnish brothers Orion and J.Shore usually sit at opposite ends on the music production front. Juska (Orion), grew up on the early 90′s hypnotic trance sound such as Cygnus X’s album “Hypermetrical” and Sven Väth’s “The Harlequin – The Robot And The Ballet-Dancer” and for the past five years has hosted a variety of electronic music on his National Finnish Radio show. In a vein I can very much relate to, these early 90′s records…
Full dancefloor, very nice Tampere vibe, lots of old and new friends and a trancey Saturday atmosphere. Warming up Above & Beyond was a bliss – you could really feel the excitement and anticipation during the last three track as a dancefloor full of clubbers was just waiting for Above&Beyond to step in. And boy, did they deliver… :)

It’s happening!
In early 2011 we made an unofficial remix of London Elektricity’s hit “Just One Second”.In April, Chris Coco supported it on his radio show and a bit later London Elektricity himself gave his approval for the remix. Now, after tons of licensing related emails and great work from our label Silk (thanks Gorm, Jacob and Max!) we finally are signing the contracts with Hospital Records and making it possible to release “Just One Second (Orion & J.Shore remix)” on our debut album, coming out in late 2011.
