In today's program I’ve got a special treat in store for you in addition to the two fantastic artists that we’ll be featuring on the program, both of which have created absolutely gorgeous music in the ambient genre. My first featured artist KapTep has a brand new release on Chitra Records that makes for an impressive listening experience; and Italian ambient artist Morning Haze has a new independently released EP that explores the liminal space between the waking world and our dreams. Also, later on in the program — a ten-song set from artists with tracks exceeding ten minutes in length — that’s right, we’re doubling the length of today’s program, including some great long-form pieces from the likes of Taylor Deupree, AITIA, Henrik Meierkord, and other amazing artists. Plus new ambient music from Paul Beadoin, Alexis Delozanne, Tamer Elshabrawy, Chris Cox and many, many more....
Strap in and make yourself comfortable, join us for the next two hours for global ambient music, on The Stolace Relay Station.

Featured album /// “Exhale” by KapTep
New from Chitra Records comes a new full-length, eleven-song release from electronic artist Derek Carter who operates under the project name KapTep. Like most ambient music that keeps me engaged and actively listening, “Exhale” by KapTep is rich with intrigue and mystique through its alluring textures and soundscapes, its tasteful levels of dissonance and musical tension and release, and the album’s mesmerizing musical layers that set the stage for your imagination. I found the album to have a natural sense of balance between suspense and tranquility — like the natural ebb and flow of the tide. There’s a beautiful story to be told here, and it’s up to you — the listener — to fill in the blanks for yourself! I highly recommend this album for your ambient playlist! "Exhale" by KapTep is available now on most streaming music services as well as on limited edition cassette and CD at https://chitrarecords.bandcamp.com.
Featured album /// "Between Wake and Sleep" by Morning Haze
Italian electronic artist Raffaele Monego, who operates under the name Morning Haze has a new EP that explores the mysterious spaces between the waking world and our dreams. “Between Wake and Sleep” by Morning Haze is a solid EP through and through — there are definite retro synthesizer vibes that harken back to 80s electronic music, delicate ornamentals and textures to add interest, and patterns and motifs that have a hook-like quality and draw you in deeper into the compositions. I particularly enjoyed the contrasting melodic motifs juxtaposition to the countering rhythmic elements and ARP sequences, which help keep the album moving along… and before you know it, it’s all over and time to hit play again, and again, and again. “Between Wake and Sleep” by Morning Haze is available now on most streaming music services as well as at https://morninghaze.bandcamp.com.
