Peter Templar worked on the lounge part of the compilation (Precious DAY) to choose artists and songs, arrange and mix the album dedicated to swiss artists and producers. The release has been presented on September 8, 2009 in the famous Precious Afterwork parties at the Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne (Switzerland).

This fourth album is a tribute to east european immigrants.

Chillout Selection LEVEL 2 marks the beginning of the second chapter of Peter Templar’s opuses. We remain in the musical universe of the artist but discover new horizons. The electro sounds continue to confront acoustic melodies while slavonic voices invite themselves to pay a tribute to east european immigrants.

The majority of tracks on the album are in reference to the aspect of the culture and the life of these millions of immigrants from east europe who left their countries for the eldorados of the twentieth century. Peter Templar wanted to emphasize with sounds the unusual destinies of these men and women who discreetly influenced today’s western culture, often by hard sweat and the force of their muscles.

The Artist wanted to bring to light, without prejudice or complacency, a fascinating yet complex culture that has remained badly known. That is the case of tracks such as Kazakh Street, Ochi’s and Nasta’s. Other tracks express the reality of a Russia in complete mutation where suffering more than often overshadows happiness. It is for instance the case of Russian Soldiers Sometimes Commit Suicide or Kolkos Maternity.

Full of the atmosphere of the little russia in brooklyn (NY) this album remains absolutly electro through its tortured sounds with up to date filters and effects. But it also gives you a gut feeling with spellbinding eastern voices. Whether orthodoxe chants, red army choirs, bulgarian or ukranian voices, they all fuse with electro-vintage atmospheres which Peter Templar has the secret for, delivering powerful tracks and great melodies.
The result is presented in 13 rhythmic tracks taking the listener on a journey from the orient to the west of which he will not return unchanged.

Like in all Peter Templar’s compositions , the choice of the titles, certain sounds and rhythms are not always to be taken at face value for there are many symbolical allusions for the attentive ear. The video clip that comes with the album (Kazakh Street) is also filled with visual references.

JULIAN & Peter Templar have known one another for a long time. But if it’s family ties that brought them together in the 1st place, it’s shared values & music that unite them today.

Following one particular wine fuelled discussion on the banks of Lake of Geneva, inspiration struck and the foundations of “For you” were laid. A few months later and with the help of a handful of return trips between Paris and Switzerland, « For You » is now much more than an idea. It’s a collision of 2 musical worlds, of 2 artists united by a shared musical vision & by their common grounding in the world of the home studio & the live scene.

To be filed under the Electro/Pop banner, 3 versions of the song “For you”
have been produced: The single mix blends acoustic guitar & samples, human & digital. The acoustic mix shows the song stripped to the core. And the remix by Marc Angelil adds a hip hop spin to the whole.

The first opus of this serie is created in continuity with Peter Templar’s first album (ChilloutSelection – Level 1). Lounge Selection – Level 1 contains 8 themes from Chilout Selection – Level 1, remixed in a much more rythmic club version.

But Peter Templar wanted to explore the “other side” of each theme selected. Lounge Selection is not just a club version of Chillout Selection. It is an emotional reengineering of each musical theme. According to this exploration, the cover is a vision of what the original picture of Chillout Selection can become as its other side. The track’s titles are also expressing this exploration, such as “The Sons of light” which become “The Daughters of light” or “Secret eye” which becomes “Public eye”.
