DJ Jondal, who was popular with his daily show "Klassik Lounge" at Klassik Radio, presented for the two CDs together 26 laid-flowing and rhythmic throbbing tracks, which can be regarded as an ideal complement to the "Space Night" images. Besides well-known names like Blank & Jones or Vargo here find various Acts that to know is always worth.
