history
Jasmon was founded in 2001 by Roland Voss, aka Lemongrass . The first release was the album Spacecake under the project name Genetic Drugs & Jasmon - a collaboration with the Berlin radio DJ and musician Genetic Drugs . On this album, the numerous sound recordings that Genetic Drugs had collected on his travels to India and Africa were brought into connection with modern electronic music. The Egyptian singer and actor Mohamed Mounir came to Berlin as a star guest and contributed two songs to the album. It was released in 2001 on the Blue Flame label.
In autumn 2003, the Frankfurt label Peacelounge Recordings released their debut album Gentle Flowers , from which several contributions to well-known compilations such as World Lounge ( Putumayo ) or Sahara Lounge - also Putumayo - were taken over. Guest musicians on Gentle Flowers are the singer Mohamed Mounir, Alain Nkossi Konda and the Algerian singer Djamel Laroussi .
In early 2005 Jasmon released their second long player with the album Cosmic Trigger . It was released in the same year on the Japanese market and in Russia on the Landy Star label.
In 2005 Roland Voss and his brother Daniel founded the Lemongrassmusic label in order to be able to produce and market their music projects themselves. The follow-up album Hammock Dreams was released in 2007 on Lemongrassmusic.
