To celebrate 'Earth Day 2025' the track 'Pale Blue Dot' by Rumpistol is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

Released 22nd April 2025

We are proud to present the third single 'Pale Blue Dot' from Rumpistol's forthcoming Nebula album - which will be released on Earth Day, an annual event on April 22 supporting environmental protection.

The song evolves around a melancholic piano melody, a jazzy double bass and whiskered drums and later gentle woodwinds and a breathtaking string section takes the song into higher altitudes and let us swirl gently in space, before bringing us back to earth again.

The song was inspired by Earthrise - the iconic photograph of Earth taken from lunar orbit by astronaut William Anders in 1968, during the Apollo 8 mission.

The 'Nebula' album

Rumpistol's 9th album Nebula is much more than just an album.

Where his piano trilogy cultivated inner space, Nebula draws inspiration from two fronts: a tribute to the awe of the Space Race and its global impact, and a focus on live performance. It blends jazz, classical, and modern electronic music, using both vintage and contemporary tones to evoke the cosmos’ wonder.

In the encounter between acoustic elements and the more alien sounds of synths and samplers, Rumpistol continues the investigation of the encounter between classical, jazz and electronic music that he began with his critically acclaimed trilogy, this time in a more expressive and at times almost rock-like expression.

Recorded to perfection and designed with a (pardon the pun) “stellar cast” of musicians and visual designers, the album is the next logical step in Rumpistol’s new anchoring in his live ensemble, breaking out of the traditional molds that tend to keep producers narrowed to a single lane.

About Rumpistol

"Rum" is a Danish word for "space", "room" or "reverb". Over the course of 22 years, award-winning Danish producer, film composer, electronic musician and pianist Jens B. Christiansen (aka Rumpistol) has developed into one of the most curious and versatile artists of his generation.

Since 2020, Rumpistol's career has taken new, significant turns, motivated by personal experiences. After suffering from stress in 2018, he created the stripped-down, neoclassical album "After the Flood" (2020), written for piano and strings, as he could not use a computer as a working tool due to his condition. A fruitful method that he elaborated on the sequel "Isola" (2022), where bass and drums came together with more jazzy moods.

He completed this development in 2023 with the final work in the trilogy: "Going Inside", which delved even further into the existential depths of the mind, - an album created for inner journeys and psychedelic therapy and gained musical comparisons to composers such as Nils Frahm and Max Richter.

Over the years Rumpistol has performed in the EU, US, Mexico, China and Brazil, and has been played on the BBC by both Gilles Peterson and the late John Peel.

He has received a Danish Music Award and a Carl Prize with his band Kalaha, and in 2024 he helped win the Carl Prize for Jazz Composer of the Year with the duo KALEIIDO.

He was born in 1978 and currently lives in Copenhagen. Nebula is his ninth album.

Released today, the new track by Lomotor entitled 'Pollen', now playing on M.P.R Chill.

Release date: March 20, 2025

Today, Lomotor, the electronic music project of Josh Rathbun, announces the release of Pollen, a blissful escape into a warm, sunny afternoon. Recorded in his backyard and home studio, the track features analog synths – a Moog Grandmother and Korg Minilogue – to create a lush, dreamy soundscape that captures the feeling of lying in a sun-dappled field as birds float overhead.

“I ran synths through various distortion pedals and tape machines to get a worn-out feel. To deepen the connection with the natural world, I incorporated samples of nature and old VHS nature videos,” says Rathbun.

With its warm, nostalgic tones and serene atmosphere, Pollen invites you to unwind, surrounded by the scent of flowers and the gentle hum of grasshoppers.

Pollen is available on all streaming platforms on March 20, 2025.

Lomotor is the electronic music project of Josh Rathbun, a producer based in Northern Massachusetts. Known for his ability to blend organic elements with electronic sounds, Rathbun creates music that draws from nature and memory. His work has been described as immersive and experimental. His tracks are nostalgic and worn, inspired by the hills and trees of his rural surroundings. It is the music of branches and leaves, forest streams and old farming fields now overgrown.

From the album 'Dreamland' the track entitled 'Moonlight' by Vickram Bhamra is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

Release date: Jul 22, 2024

In Vickram Bhamra's own words, "As a new producer from Leeds, UK. Music has always been a big passion of mine. I enjoyed listening to so many music genres from Hip Hop, Dance, House, Soul, Jazz etc however, I was always drawn more towards chilled out / lounge / Lo-Fi music."

"In late 2022 I decided to start work on my own album called ‘Experimental Sounds’ which released in 2023 and was a mixture of chilled, upbeat and dance music. After the album was released, I started to come up with new ideas for a follow up. I wanted to focus a little more on the chilled / lounge sound, whilst improving on the melodies."

"I started work on my follow up album called ‘Dreamland’, with the aim to take the listener through a journey of different chilled/lounge music themes. Starting the album with ‘Mood Music’ I wanted to ease the listeners in with a slow beat containing a soft melody and a calm saxophone. ‘Mission Discovery’ takes you on a journey beyond the stars. While a slow piano and trumpet over a drums backdrop sets the scene for ‘Jazz Cafe’."

"A particular favourite of mine, ‘Neon City’ was me exploring the mellow Electronic/House sounds that were around in the late 80's early 90's. ‘Mind Games’ begins like a dance song with female vocals only for it to switch midway and return back to the chilled theme of the album."

Dreamland is available now on all streaming platforms and available to buy from ITunes, Amazon, Bandcamp and other digital retailers.

Playing on M.P.R Chill is the latest release by kicktracks entitled 'Jeju's Time'

Release date: Feb 21, 2025

Kicktracks is a music producer and traveler currently based in Mauritius, but his sound knows no borders. Blending hip-hop, lo-fi, and influences from the places he explores, his music creates immersive, cinematic soundscapes that capture the essence of different cultures and experiences.

Travel has always been a huge inspiration for his work, but life threw an unexpected challenge his way - a stage four Burkitt lymphoma diagnosis. After recovering, he was finally able to return to making music and bring it to completion with a renewed creative vision.

"Jeju's Time" was conceived and recorded on Jeju Island, a place that deeply moved him. Struck by its beauty and the sense of freedom that comes with traveling, he knew he had to capture that feeling in this song. To add depth, he incorporated ambient sounds recorded directly on the island, making the track even more immersive.

But this song isn’t just about Jeju - it’s about the feeling of being on a journey, when everything around you is constantly in motion, and you find yourself moving with it. This sense of movement was especially meaningful, as Kicktracks embarked on this trip just a month and a half after undergoing hip replacement surgery - making every step, every moment of travel, even more valuable.
