So I am back from the sea and the world is turning golden. Yes, fall is coming with all its beautiful colors. And so I decided for a little celebration by turning to the musical style of the golden age of electronic music. How fitting. Well, also among the colors tonight are the darker ones, as another musical hero passed away these days with Dominique Perrier, the man behind Space Art. My thoughts are with his family and friends. He spent his live in music, one of the main things that gives us joy and picks up on our emotions. So I hope you still enjoy the music tonight with tracks by Colin Rayment (Time Dilation), Alex Ringess (Sequenced Space), René van der Wouden (Gemstones IV), Gert Emmens (Gemstones IV), Janne Hanhisuanto (Are we there yet?), Plasman (Variable Mira), Space Art (Personal Duty), Däcker (Anthropomorphic Personification).

So, I am at the beach right now enjoying the final strains of sunshine. Actually, it’s the final day of my vacation and the trip back is ahead of me. Still, I like resting at this place, which is the opposite of busy most of the time. And what better to listen to than music that relaxes one’s soul? So tonight we are going to chill. Well, maybe double so, as the temperature outside dropped a bit below 20 Celsius. As long as I have my peace, I don’t mind. And especially tonight, starting off with a plug for my own music. Listen in to some relaxing tunes with Talking to Ghosts (Ironfist), Lars Leonhard (Gemstones IV), ELEON ft David Helpling (Daithi), Maid Dresses and POLUNDRA (The Usual Suspects), Point (100 Diamonds), Re-Drum (The Best Of Torrentech Vol. 5), Dissolved (Island Flux Remixes), moonbooter (Reminiscence).

Do you think of music as medicine? Well, one sometimes could think so. Listening to touching sounds can surely set you out of or into some mood. And if it's the right music, it might help with certain states of your mind. It has to fit though, and not all music is a match for easing one's mind. But from all the styles there are I think the music on tonight's show comes close to it. Now, it definitely is pleasant to listen to, that's for sure. So join me for an hour of pleasantries with music by Erik Wøllo (Cloud of Strings), Brannan Lane, John Gregorius & Sean O'Bryan Smith (Emergence), Rick Sparks (Sea of Serenity), Brian Fechino (Reflection Spaces Vol. 1), David Arkenstone (Winterlüde), Stan Dart (MurInsel, Volume 6), Ashron (Reiki Healing Light), David Stern (Cosmic Starlight), Jong (Venus), ELEON ft John Gregorius & Sean O'Bryan Smith (Daithi), Däcker (Zeitenwende).

What a busy week. So we had the Electronic Circus Feast... or Festival... well, at least very much both with great artists, great audience, and excellent Bratwurst. Good to meet so many musical friends again after a while and enjoying an extraordinary hot day at the venue. And the heat and the busy time went on this week, so tonight's selection somewhat reflects the mix of being to hot too move and enjoying the buzzing time. Join me, if you like, and have fun with music by Stan Dart (MurInsel, Volume 6), Jong (Venus), Infinite Third (Living Moments (Live)), 4T Thieves (Hauntology), Rettward von Doernberg (A Military Base), Virtually J (Reworks), Xingu Hill (Grigri Pavilion), Castle From Indistinct Dreams (Netlabel Day 2023), MoHoK + Tokee (Dark Sun), Sobria Ebrietas & Iliaque (Calluna).

Yes. It's movie time. And while they are down with new films in the US due to their strike, syndae is not and I took the opportunity to pick some nice electronic based cinematic music, which partially actually is from movies. I don't know about you, but to me movies without a good soundtrack lacks a lot of emotional support and feel. And musical wise, soundtracks most often combine the classical way of composition and modern style of sound works. Can you tell I'm a fan? Ok, join me tonight for cool music by Christopher Caouette (Tale Of The Oakenwish), Hans Zimmer, Adam Lukas & James Everingham (Frozen Planet II), The Pull of Autumn (Beautiful Broken World), Edouard Ferlet (PIANOïD²), Potsch Potschka (Fantasia Iberica), Gleisberg (Floating In Your Soul), Time Away (Riven), CIALYN (OMEGA), State Azure (The Terminator), Kebu (Live in Oslo), Gandalf (Eartheana).

Past, present or future? In electronic music this barely is a question, as most of the creations are timeless. Since its discovery in the last century many variations and re-creations saw its light, inspired by the old ones or built on them with new ideas. It is amazing for the communities on ambient and electronic music built over time and how still today people relish the sounds of the past years and enjoy their re-inventions by younger artists, who you could also name to be explorers of timeless arts. This edition has a mix of both brand new and past music, and they are amazing and interesting all at once. Enjoy tracks by Martin Stürtzer (Circular Oscillations), Pabellón Sintético (Mies van der Rohe's dreams), Mario Schönwälder (The Eye Of The Chameleon), Neuronium (Signature), Alex Ringess (Transient Symmetry), Oscar Postma (Moventique Part 2 and 3), Parallel Worlds (Applied Maths), Bernd-Michael Land (Live in Eindhoven).

So I had a very busy week. And I am not even sure I make it in time to promote this show this Friday. But, hey, it's a podcast and you can listen to it whenever you like. For this edition I thought about going a bit more ambient, but not too close. So you will find lots of treats on this show that are in between the worlds, and of course fine electronic music it is, too. Time to discover exciting sounds and uncover the beautiful sound of spacey ambient lifting the aural lids. Enjoy the night with tracks by Bernd-Michael Land (Begegnungen), Jim Ottaway (Infinite Universes), Mike Hans STEFFL (Calaboose Islands), Johan Agebjörn (Subtracted Soundscapes), Sensory++ (Introversum), Solitaire (Plains And Skies), Walter Fini & Shane Beck (The Open Door), M3NASH (Declive).

It's festival time. Well, nearly. less then a month to go before the incredible clown is back. I mean, the Electronic Circus is opening its door again. And you should definitely join the festival to experience a flock of excellent acts on stage. It's been 15 years ago, when I first had the pleasure to announce the Circus Festival for the first time. Actually, one of the reasons this podcast was started at all. And what a nice festival it has become. After Corona hiatus, the Clown is back on stage and with him come excellent musical guests. So, don't hesitate and join the show in Hamm on September 9th. Meet the fans, meet me, meet wonderful musicians. This show starts with most of the live acts from the show, followed by more great and fresh electronic music. Listen to Steve Baltes (Bochum Sky), Wellenfeld (Eiswelten), r.roo (mirroor), Ströme (Nr. 2), Hyperion V (Accretion Disc), Oblique, Distant Worlds (Transient Symmetry), Reticle (Fifteenth Listen), r.roo (shilly-shally).
