Oh, boy. These are dark times indeed, looking over the pond. I'm quite sorry for our musical friends overseas, in a country once glorified for its freedom and prosperity. Also for all the people that are living in unsafe spaces these days, where the future is kind of uncertain. So I hope to bring at least a glimmer into everyone's life by having some great electronic music on the show to please one's ears. Have a delightful hour with the music by Menzman & Friends (Insights), Marcator (PanAroma Served Chilled), Greenlab (Beyond Borders), Bluetech (Spacehop Chronicles Vol. 2), Spectral Tune (Painted Waves), Virgo (Novel), Pabellón Sintético (Machine for living), Brainquake + Grosso Gadgetto (Dehumanize the World), Conny Olivetti (Viel Glück beim Überleben (Object Remix)), Dieter Spears, Brian Paris (Speris), IcingWolf (Serpentine)

This week actually started slow and easy, but turned to a turmoil of demands and tasks towards the end. As always is the case. If something becomes urgent, many other issues pile up and burry you with work. So, I am really happy the week came to an end today and the weekend is waiting up with some relaxing electronic circus festival to enjoy and relax. But before I can come to peace, I have to let of some steam. Virtually, of course, and with the right beatful music as companion. Join me, won't you? Let's enjoy the heat of sound with Hyrn (live at Schallwelle 2024), moonbooter (Syncope 2), TNT (The June Solstice 2025), XaVioN (Between Heartbeats), Pudova (Deep Inside), Cognition Delay (Dazzled By The Dark), Noerrf (Tabuguer), El Venado Sound System (Dub Free. Vol. 12), AxelP (NETLABEL DAY 2025), System Error (Beyond), Toxic Derwish + Innocent But Guilty (Making Things Happen: Netlabel Day 10th Anniversary Compilation)

Two interesting events are up soon, teaser for which will also open this edition. One of them in the UK, one in Germany, and both with great music. And if you cannot make it to the one in the UK, the Awakenings, do not hesitate to grab their virtual ticket, which serves one time cool live music from the event. The second is the planetarium show by Stefan Erbe, his kind-of world and space tour with Metamorphosys. But there is more, and all signs are on ambient sounds tonight, more or less one the quiet side. Just what the doctor prescribed my business-busy ears for this weekend. So join in for a great time with music by Axess/Maxxess (Sleep), Stefan Erbe (Metamorphosys), Simon Heartfield (Scenes From Above), Erik Wøllo (Aeris Suite), deepspace (Water Planets), Jim Ottaway (Cosmic Odyssey), Cognition Delay (Dazzled By The Dark), Peltiform (TRIPTYCHS), Christian Fiesel (Full Of Light), TaboTago (Sessions 017: Live in Schwerin)

Do you need some time off? Well, you are in the right place with this edition. In there, you will find no information about politic stunts, nothing on crazy leaders, and definitely no clickbaiting. It would be pure relaxation in a one hour mix, if it wasn't for me throwing in words on the artists and labels involved. Hope you don't mind. In the end, if you like what you hear, you can always go for the music and fetch it for your home theatre and enjoy the whole deal sitting on the sofa. Now, you may do so as well while listening to the show, with excellent chillout music by Greenlab ft. Backstage Gurus (Beyond Borders), Enigmatic Obsession (Secrets of Seduction), Encounters Stars (Veil of Echoes), Eleon (Freedom), Sine (Under the Sky), Thomas Lemmer & Thomas Foster (In the Sky), Tawdry Otter & Captive Portal ft. Toryn (Making Things Happen: Netlabel Day 10th Anniversary Compilation), Xipe Totec Dub (Dub Free. Vol. 12), SOUND2次元 (Imaginary Sequences), Sferix (Moments), Tony Sieber & Thomas Lemmer (Moments Between), David Bach (The David Bach Collection), Claude9 (Chords of Love).

As you may know by now, besides being a great fan of electronic-based music I am also a serials junkie. Recently, I watched quite a number of Anime. Because they are short (about 20 minutes per show) and sometimes really fun. Of course, I am also a fan of Scifi shows. But sometimes, it just does not work out. Being a fan of Star Trek, I tried watching the latest season of Discovery. Currently I am stuck on episode 3, I think, as it is simply too soapy to me. Then I started with Strange New Worlds, and I am hooked again. What a difference in style and making. Well, I am living to early in history to go for some star travel, at least in person. But there is always a great aural trip around the corner, like with the music you get tonight by DASK Music (Rosetta), DTime (Shadows of Time), Eleon (The Darkside of Far), Progeny-1 and Cosmic Cadence (Mystical Cities), Paul Ellis (Here is Where), Cousin Silas & Maximum Movement Theatre (Transmission From an Unknown Source), Ivan Black (Distant Dreams Part 2).

Exciting times ahead with the season of electronic music events in late summer and fall in Germany and the Netherlands. Three of them being featured in this edition showcasing some of the acts. First up being a new one (to me at least) named "Molk-e-tronica" with two days of cool artists. Second the Dutch Electronic Masters series being continued for 2025 with 6 acts on stage. And finally the well known and loved Electronic Circus with some great legends of EM and of course one guest from another world. Join in for some cool hour with music by Gate Eleven (First Contact), o.s.cillator (Dali‘s Dub Machine), Elektronische Maschine (Life goes on), Arjen Schat (Propagations Through Time And Space: Prequel), Marius Nitzbon (Birds are my Friends), Harald Grosskopf (Strom), Stan Dart (Space Race), Proqnostiq and Turius Mansi (Netlabel Day 2025), Mitoma & Abdicant and Brainquake & XOTOX (Making Things Happen: Netlabel Day 10th Anniversary Compilation), Conny Olivetti (Fish do not shout!).

So, recently I mentioned that show, which definitely was sci-fi. Last week I watched another TV show, that started out as kind of film noir, but then surprisingly turned into sci-fi as well. Completely unnecessary in my opinion, as I liked the show up to this twist. A similar experience sometimes occurs with a song. It starts out great as space ambient, but then unexpectedly turns, for example, into some soapy pop, completely throwing me off and makes it vanish from my playlist. Luckily for us, all tracks of this edition "behave well". Some definitely have twists, but well made and for the better. So, please, join me for some ambient greatness by moonbooter (Syncope 2), Jaffe (Depth), Ambient Indigo and Time Away (Mystical Cities), Bernd-Michael Land (Schwer-Metall: Klang aus Erde), Anantakara (Glimpse Of Changes), Cousin Silas & Mr Z (The Cardinal Points: East Part 2), Markus Reuter & Stephan Thelen (Promise of a Better World).

Once a year, the vast amount of netlabels out there join in for a special day: the netlabel day. Same so in 2025, where they put out once again such a massive amount of releases that it is difficult to listen to them all in a week. I tried my best to select some of the cool releases fitting the style of syndae as close as possible. Tonight is the first bunch of songs from that occasion, and there may be more to come. For tonight, enjoy with me the sounds of Tim Koch + Waldgrenze (Making Things Happen: Netlabel Day 10th Anniversary Compilation), BTB (The Strongest Friend in the Universe), Particle of Soul (Particle of soul), Mas&Delayer (Heroes in my bed), Pasquale Maassen vs Peter Mummert (Netlabel Day 2025 Techno Warriors), Pablo Javier Piacente (El Antiguo Dolor De La Selva), Anderdog (Netlabel Day 2025), Soft and Furious (The Flood), Eko_Fisk & Gears in the Rain (Zenapolae 25), C da 76er (Anime Christrumentals), Potenciómetro (Crema), Space Ark Slum Lord (clay makes no protest), Isien (Kanashibari World), Plateau Sigma (The Great Reset).
