Jasmon "Shangri-La"
"Great news, Jasmon is back!" Certainly this exclamation will be heard quite often over the upcoming weeks and months. Jasmon lovers are everywhere in the world and quite a few have been desired a new musical output for years. Why is that, what is so special about this project? From the beginning on Jasmon stood for a unique sound, considered as a member of a new generation of modern world music. So far five Jasmon albums came to life. They have been released in Germany, Japan and Russia, which is a clear indication of Jasmon's global recognition and also an expression of the close personal reference to the Asian region. The debut album "Spacecake" (2001) was a collaboration with the artist and producer Genetic Drugs, enriching the Jasmon sound with elements of African rhythms and trance plus specially recorded Indian musicians and field-recordings while travelling through the country. But already the successor called "Gentle flowers" brought the project to the point. The minimal production aptly recalls the clarity and one-pointedness of the Zen culture and was internationally a great success. Suddenly Jasmon was everywhere. Rarely tradition and modernity of electronic music merged so homogeneously in a creative expression. The following releases "Cosmic Trigger" and "Hammock dreams" have been published on their own label platform Lemongrassmusic. With a stronger connection to Lounge Music, Jasmon added fresh stylistic facets to continue exploring their musical path.
