A Strangely Isolated Place
ASIP brings many great ambient, electronic, dub-techno, chillout tracks and mixes including works from known names.
http://astrangelyisolatedplace.com/
"A Strangely Isolated Place is a music community and label, dedicated to bringing you inspirational electronica and ambient music. Created in 2008, the name of the site wasn’t picked on the brilliance of Ulrich Schnauss’ album alone, but also because of the belief that everyone is inspired by their own strangely isolated place. From big to small, from the surreal to the real, from the instantaneous moments to the epic journeys; the music that’s posted here is what I deem to be the perfect spark, partner or prelude to defining a strangely isolated place."
