The Sun Lounge

The Sun Lounge Ep. 112 Ok, this will take you somewhere else - Adam speaks with Danish Spanish guitarist, Jacob Gurevitsch from Copenhagen. On the release of his new album In Search of Lost Time, we learn about his random collaborations, that his guitar is more than just flamenco and tango, and the magic of an instrument choosing him.  There's so much more with Caro Josee, Chris Rea, Shakatak, and Tok Tok Tok - fascinating summer versions of well known tracks. 

Ep. 111 So, are you an artist, creative, or even have a small jazzy little venture going and want to know how to keep creative while affording to eat? To the backdrop of some of the world's coolest tunes, Adam will shed some light on how you can make it in the arts or small biz world, while keeping that passion alive. Again, most of it is to do with .....  attitude.  Sensational sunny tracks from The Cardigans, Papik, Norah Jones, Yasper, Sugarpie and the Candymen, and Keiko Matsui. 

Ep. 110 So have you ever wondered where the very best places on earth are for food? The places where the chefs are focused, the food is so tasty and yum, but holding to its cultural signature.  On the Sun Lounge this week, Adam talks of the coolest places to hang around the world to get stuffed.  To the soundtrack of sunshine, with all the best - Mario Biondi, Michael Franks, Carla Bruni, Roberta Sa, and even Noah and the Whale, it's going to take you somewhere else. 

Ep. 109 What is the good life? Big homes, travel, extravagant dinners? It's all a bit of an illusion when we think about it, because, well, you already have it. You just need to see it. Adam explores it all this week, while tapping through some of the world's great nu jazz, Bossa, and folk artists to give you that taste of summer, all there to take you somewhere else. 

Ep. 108 Plastics - they are pretty gross. Let's eradicate them from our beaches, our oceans, our lives! And it's not as hard as you think. Adam has a few tips to get you started, in what is all about the simple rules of....economics! Earth, Wind and Fire keeps us smiling, Nicola Conte's back on, Izzy Bizu, a little taste of Caetano Veloso, Freelance Whales, and more more more, to take you somewhere else !!

Adam's just back from Bali, and the blues have hit hard. He gives you his take on how to beat the downs when returning from vacation - it's all about a good attitude, and getting sweaty. Some new discoveries across the sunny spectrum of music around the globe, including a superb track from Portugal's Rodrigo Leao with Ana Viera, Danilo Venturi, Denmark's Nordsø & Theill, and Turkey's Saib. It is of course all there to take you somewhere else.

Ep. 106 Adam is in Nusa Lembongan, the smaller neighbour of Bali, as the last in the Bali Destination series.  With pristine beaches, delectable seafood, and soaring cliffs presenting breathtaking sunsets, Lembongan is still the haven of surfers and intrepid travellers.  With a great list of Puerto Rican, Scottish, and American tunes, it'll take you somewhere else. 

Ep. 105 Adam's in Bali's south.  A sacred, protected place that the surfers have loved for years. With dramatic cliffs, stunning sunsets, and cute little coves, Uluwatu is a great place to venture to if you want to experience the great wave, and Balinese ways.  With Noonday Underground, Madeleine Peyroux, Michael Franks, Anja Garbarek, Walter Wanderley, and more, it's a very surfy, lounge show, to take you somewhere else.

Ep. 104. Adam's coming to you from Canggu in Bali, as scooters rattle above rice paddies, with some of the best surf and coolest cafes on the planet.  Backed by the Sun Lounge soundtrack including tracks from Miami Horror and Kimbra, Shaggy, Olivia Ing, and Madrid de las Austrias, it'll take you, well, here! Listen in for your taste of summer, and Bali. 

Ep. 103 Once upon a time there were music libraries that only music producers and engineers could get their hands on. We hounded down a pretty psychedelic one to get into.   And there's more... sunshine from The Clash's frontman, soothing Valencian guitars, salsa, and of course the class of Henry Mancini.  Don't miss this episode. Good vibes all 'round. 

The Sun Lounge Ep. 102 This week, the show, and Adam, comes to you from the rice paddies of Ubud, in Indonesia's Bali. It's Yellow Day today, a religious festival held twice yearly, and Adam finds out a little bit about the people, with their smiles and love, in an epicentre of health and spirituality.  There's a great line up of artists this week, and Adam sneaks in a track from his forthcoming album just so you know he's still busy writing, and not just blabbering on the Sun Lounge each week. 

Ep. 101 There are some seriously good pop covers done in the show this week dunked in sun, originally by Marvin Gaye, Sade, and others. There's #Natiruts, #Clubdesbelugas, #Smoma, #De-Phazz, #CindyBradley to name a few. Adam talks about the power of music to de-stress, and we take you to festivals in Japan, Mexico, Argentina, Italy, and more. 

Ep. 100 A different, special Sun Lounge this week as Adam pays tribute to Joao Gilberto, the father of Brazil's greatest sound, Bossa Nova.  Joao died on the 5th July in Rio, and left a legacy of Bossa that he created.  Part documentary, part music, full Joao Gilberto, this week on The Sun Lounge. 

As one of the main players of Bossa Nova, Marcos Valle joins Adam on the show from Lisbon, Portugal to chat about his new release, Sempre. Learn a little about the delights of this legendary composer's music, Rio's influence, the essential ingredients in his music, and touring. We also hear a great one from Melbourne's tantalising artist Coda Chroma, festivals, and ofcourse pay tribute to the great Joao Gilberto who the world lost this week. 

Fiesta de la Tirana in Chile, the Nowhere festival in Spain, and Tollwood's Sommer Festival in Munich are just some of the places we take you this week. It's the sundrenched musical journeys of Anna Maria Jopek, Carmen Perez, Batuk, Nicola Conte, Rosie Brown, that will really take you somewhere else. Sunny vibes all around.
