VARIOUS ARTISTS - Luftkastellet 1



If you say Copenhagen or if you simply mention Scandinavia with in comes to music, you can't help say cool north. Some of the best club music from Nu Jazz to house, electronica, club house and dance makes it likely that Scandinavia is currently one of the most creative locations in music. And not to mention the light, the blue sky, the beautiful people and the chilled vibes. Many people travel to Ibiza to enjoy sunset- and rise. In Copenhagen we don't fly far, we just go down to Luftkastellet. A chilled bar, restaurant and hotel in the center of Copenhagen, but still as chilled as a beach.

It simply has everything we need and when you sit along the quay with your long drink and the sun goes its way down crossing the roofs of Copenhagen, the blue northern light melt into the red of the sun. It really beats everything. You just have the most fantastic skyline, a cocktail of old 17th century Copenhagen mixed with new futurism from some of the finest architects in contemporary design. And Freetown Christiania is just a roach away with its free hippie spirit.

In the spirit of this beautiful space that Luftkastellet offer Copenhagen, Music for Dreams' originator Kenneth Bager has compiled some of the most compelling, wonderful tunes that very much captures the special atmosphere of Copenhagen chill and the vibe of Luftkastellet. 14 tracks with no less than 7 exclusives are here on this compilation.

People dance, make love and chill to these tunes, no matter if its on Ibiza, in the bedroom or at Luftkastellet. And this is exactly what we want you to do. Enjoy the spirit of good music, no matter where you are. Music for Dreams artists Cantoma, Bliss, Banzai Republic, Visti & Meyland, Grassskirt, Rumklang are featured alongside such fine artists as Flunk, Manuel Gottsching, Kevin Johnson and more.

"Sleep will Come" is the perfect opening track by Bliss. Ennio Morricone strings and sentimentalism, beauty and melancholy, classicism and modernism. Its all there to show that music is one of the most compelling companions in life. Through the next 13 track you are invited to enjoy the balearic travel into feel good-factor music, free of charge, with Cantoma's baleric downtempo "Etoile", Flunks new classic version of "Blue Monday", Grassskirts "Jy´ suis jamais allé" a tribute to the great French movie "Amelie". Jaywalk gives another wonderful remix of Gottschings electronica classic "E2-E4" and Banzai Republic turns you on in "No matter how hard I feel".

Slow Trainsmagnifying "Trail of down" kicks in the smoothe sexy dance vibe. Visti & Meyland have just arrived with "Banjul", giving us the African dub full ondown. Sexy and deep. "Amoureuse" by Rework gives une song romantic le French….qui ???? And when Luke performed "Heavens on fire" earlier this spring at Luftkastellet with candle lights and strings, lead vocalist Tanja proved that she is a coming star. She does not sound like Monica Zetterlund, but she looks much better and she has this discreet blue melancholy that reminds you of Zetterlund.

Via Kevin Johnsons underground ibiza bar vibe hit "Guacacamole" this compilation finishes with even more pure Scandinavian summer vibes from Hesismore, Rumklang and Mind over Midi feat. Bugge Wesseltoft. We stay true to music, and we love you to join us at Luftkastellet next time in Copenhagen!
