Join the newsletter mailing list here Greetings friends, listeners and fellow artists! A few months since my last newsletter and as usual there's lots of music happening around me and the artists at the Palace Network. PIXIEGUTS - IMMATERIAL Just released is the third Pixieguts compilation album of tunes produced by electronic producers around the world and featuring my vocals - immaterial. The album moves through an array of alternative electronic moods including trip-hop, ambient, downtempo, experimental, house, techno and more. Hear/download it here. Artists on this album: Dementio13 (UK), Northcape (UK), Mr Collie (USA), Titee (Australia), Iannis Loumakis (Greece), Adrian Carter (UK), Royce Icon (USA), Voide (Sweden), Baxandall IP (Poland), Crimson Death (Canada), Dj Brody (UK), TRavvy (Australia). The links will take you to the artists' solo music projects for your further listening pleasure and discovery. Meanwhile the two previous Pixieguts compilation albums - Walking on Mercury and Pixieguts! - continue to get wonderful reviews in different languages at Jamendo, both albums can also be heard/downloaded at my main site. PIXICAST - EPISODE 002 Journey from smooth chillout, through dub, rap, dnb, minimal, trance, techno, grunge, electro and otherwise hybrid world sounds in this second episode of Pixicast, hosted by Voide and published through the Palace Network.

LITTLE RED COTTAGE - I GO EASY Continuing with the Voide/Pixieguts projects, I am vocalist on the just released new eSingle I Go Easy by Little Red Cottage, Voide's new band with long time collaborator Ulf Johansson (their former band is ULDA). The music is a mix of lounge, house, bar, chillout and is influenced by experimental electronica in various forms. I've been loving Voide's music since he turned up as one of the first Palace members at Ning going on a year ago and highly recommend checking out his solo project too. This is an exciting new collaboration for both of us and we are already doing more. Hear and download what we've been up to with Little Red Cottage here. CWTCH - CWTCH Also recently released is the self-titled album from me and Cardiff-based artist Paul Foster under our new band name Cwtch (formerly Dementio13 Feat Pixieguts). The album was premiered with a feature on Mark Whitby's brilliantly eclectic alternative music show on John Peel inspired netstation Dandelion Radio. The track Fragility also recently hit the home page at the music site The SixtyOne (along with tracks by Mogwai and Jeff Buckley), when a gang of fans threw a listening party to spread the word about it. We love that kinda thing! There's now also a video for the track Fragility, a collaboration with artist menchulica in the Canary Islands. See and hear it all at the Cwtch blog and get the album here. There's always more in the way of music, artists and projects to be explored at the Palace Network and please help me and the Palace artists grow by letting anyone who might appreciate what we do know about it. You will find links and embeddable widgets on most of our sites to help with this. Thanks for sharing the music with us! PixieMarie Music|Blog|Cwtch|Podcast|Network|MySpace|Last.fm
