One of the most famous compilation series in Japan returns with a slick collection of Balearic lounge and deep house tunes. These are the kind of tunes you listen to chillout, and that’s exactly the genre they’re within.  As you look down the track list of this compilation there are 10 different artists; each of whose style could be filed into a number of different categories. Down-Tempo, Chilled Trance, Deep House, Electro House. Atmospheric, Mellow - the list goes on. There is 2 cover versions.  First, there is AMBROZIA's orchestral version of "Arthur's Theme"(Original by CHRISTOPHER CROSS, Ranked at No.1 in USA in 1981), and VALID EVIDENCE 's "I Like Chopin - Japanese Edition".  The original tune was by GAZEBO, but a Japanese cover version by ASAMI KOBAYASHI was bigger in Japan than original so VALID EVIDENCE have covered the cover version.
Unique collaborations abound. DJ 19 has teamed up with JORGE GRACIA from CLUBBERVISION under the guise of JAPAIN – fusing the two countries together in this musical excursion.  Netherland's BLUESPARKLE also teams up with DJ 19.  He is known as a production partner of fellow Dutch DJ/producer C-JAY. Together DJ 19 and BLUESPARKLE form the guise of DEFINITION OF AFFRANCHISE.
Besides more known artists within the electronic music world, you will find undiscovered artists like HIDEOUT and GENUINE FAKES. Hideout is one half of HOT STATION , while GENUINE FAKES is a pseudonym of a Japanese house producer who will release "Okinawa Lounge Sessions" on 19Box Recordings soon.
Sit back, relax and grab an "Essence" of your favorite resort by the sea...

Verborgen in de heuvels, in de Gouden Driehoek van Thailand, ligt de ‘Golden Horse Temple’. Met gevaar voor eigen leven voert de boeddhistische monnik Khru Bah samen met de jonge novicen strijd tegen drugsmisbruik in de omliggende bergdorpen.  

Na het verterende en intigrerende "Buddha's Lost Children" keerde regisseur Mark Verkerk op veler verzoek terug om te kijken hoe het Suk, Pan Saen en de kleine maar altijd vrolijke Boontam is vergaan.
