A music band involving Carl Gibbons (producer, composer, performer); Jana Tillotsonnbsp;(composer, performer, lyricist). With contributions and collaborations from a bunch of other talented musicians. For a long time Northcore was just Carl, and most of the stuff he wrote was techno, trance and chillout. Now itrsquo;s a broader mix of styles but it can generally be classified under ldquo;electronicrdquo;, ldquo;chillrdquo;, and ldquo;alternativerdquo;.

On the production side, Northcore music has been featured on websites, documentaries, short films, computer games, fashion shows, and sport videos. The collaborations and remixes which have been most stimulating. Working up full-length albums for the U.S. ambient label Spotted Peccary, and Northcore has also been getting cosy in the London psy-trance scene. Tracks have been released on UK psy-compilation albums, and they have played psy chill gigs at big and small venues, including the Glade Festival, Waveform Festival and Camden's inSpiral Lounge.

Todayrsquo;s track from the Jukebox: Oxygen. Carl about this track: ldquo;We took this vocal line #38; lyrics, which a good friend wrote, to a new place when we recorded and created hospital sounds and composed a new piano part to complement the melody. We recorded that part on the Petrov grand piano at the Czech Embassy in London. In our final mix, Oxygen has become the song of the life-support machine to the patient.rdquo;
