The Lounge Lovers are dedicated to the sounds & vibes of smooth music of all types. I'm Julian White. Until recently I led the band Private Asylum. With a cult following PA lived in the shadows of Ambient, Chillout & Lounge music. Facing some painful changes in life, it was only fitting to put Private Asylum into the grave. Memories have purpose, but we needed to look forward for survival. The Lounge Lovers represent a new order in music today. We attempt to bridge the divides between different music genres by merging our unique passions into a movement of modernist sounds and vibes based on jazz, electronic and ambient music. We can't promise you that you'll always like the tunes, but we can promise you that the tunes will always come from the heart and make an emotional statement to anyone who takes the time to listen and understand it. Do enjoy the music.

The particular circle of hell in which he found himself he feels was not peculiar to him - rather it expressed an insanity typical of the psychotic organisation of the family in Western society. Instead of "loosing himself to drugs" as he puts it, he resolved to enlisting into the US Marine Corps, to undertake a course of Warriors teachings. After the Warriors discipline of self-development - one might say self-determination - which has radically affected the course of his life, and music. Ever an unusual synthesist even in the earliest days of the Band "My Secret Life", White has developed an increasingly 'oblique' approach in an attempt, often startlingly successful, to find the qualitative 'inside' of music. Such a quality is manifest in his recent contribution to ManNequi.N .detdreame'.Sha eR, his unorthodox solos lurch wildly - yet with perfect precision - from nowhere and then head off into the unexpected. The effect is that of vitalising and expanding the musical context in a continual recreation of surprise, uniting head and heart in an irresistible combination of feeling, thought and expertise.] It seems appropriate then that White's new venture comprising of DreamMaker and Private Asylum should be called "Dream Asylum" - not the creation of subservience by the techniques of dominance but rather as an expression of mutual responsibility on the part of the band and audience for the musical potential available in any event. Encountering White, these musical qualities are expressed in a gentle mindful, self-assurance, a presence rehearsed in the eloquent acrobatics of discourse and a breadth of knowledge that marks him as a Subtle genius- and not, as the some music executives recently implied. Physically a Massive giant' White seemed to devote all his attention to answering and for the most part anticipating our questions - this, despite his assurance that part of his concentration was engaged with a new melody boucing around in his head. For White, music is amongst other things a means of engaging perception in a process that goes beyond the act of listening or playing. If he has been described as an eccentric (and he has) then surely we must question a centrism that elevates the performer to an unreal status whilst the audience is lost in the murky night beyond the spot-lights. To combat this tendency he has often dislocated the conventional concept of performance by playing in unlikely venues for little or no moneyIn the same spirit of generosity, White gave us seven hours of his time and the three pieces of music for The archive. "Dark Net My Private Lives" he described as "a bit terrifying ... a bit disturbing" - but personally I find them a serenity reminiscent of some of his work with "My Secret Life" perhaps because I was born in a time that could appreciate that early 80's beginning of techno as we know it today.White however, issues forth from Oulu in Finland, where we interviewed him at the humourously named "Private Asylum World H.Q." Here we were feasted on coffee and halva whilst the near violent façade of Oulu chilled the smiles on our labours .... Read more on Last.fm.
