You're a Star You're a Star
A midtempo track with a digital sound and a long ambient intro.
System Shock System Shock
Started out as a remix for a track on Boltfish Recordings. I decided to make it into my own track. It has a tribal'ish beat and lots of filtered synth lines.
Firenze Firenze
Inspired by the magnificent and imposing Duomo Cathedral in the center of Florence. Closing my eyes and losing myself in the lush drones coming from the cathedral organ.
Palma Palma
A long and moody intro with dark sweeps opens this down tempo track.Rip with swirls & swishes, bells & whistles. Like the sea it flows & grows in stature.

Jonathan Heslop (Planet Bliss) has been producing Electronic music since the mid 90s having been influenced by up-tempo artists like Orbital, The Chemical Brothers and down-tempo/Ambient artist like Edge of Motion, Brian Eno, Fila Brazillia. His music combines intricate, powerful beats with multi-layered and evolving synth soundscapes.
From 1996 to 1998 Jonathan studied Popular Music at the "Carlisle Collage of Art and Design". Over the 2 year course he learned how to work in a live and studio environment. Learning some key skills in stage setup, live recording and mastering/production. It was during, but outside this course that Jonathan progressed his skills at using Synthesizers, Samplers, Computers and his composition skills.
In 2001 Jonathan's track "Falling Down" was used in the short, independent film "Rope" directed by Seth Hardwick:
"... desire, despair and date rape. A blind date goes blindingly wrong when Alan and Heather decide to take matters into their own hands ..."
In 2003 Jonathan was contacted by the U.S. Air Force. They wanted to use his track "Spacewave" in one of their training programs. All other information is classified . . .
In 2004 three of Jonathan's tracks were used in "The Ultimate Matrix Collection".
Ever Since he first plugged in a sound module Jonathan has been fascinated with creating "synthetic" sounds. From lush, dreamy pads to euphoric leads. Jonathan has gone through many synthesizers creating sounds for his music and for other like mided musicians.
