Episode 479
Talking with each other is key. Just learned that again at work, but it's also true in everyday's life. If there are issues to be solved, talking to people helps as it helps to understand each other and each other's motives. Sometimes it's just tiny things that can make a big difference. And, of course, all parties get more forward when going in the same direction instead of pulling crosswise at the same rope. Yeah, I know, this sounds quite vague. But I am certain you can match this to several situations you personally experienced. And my wish is to have this understanding within the whole community supporting electronic music. Like back in the days, when everyone only had one goal: to make EM a musical home to the people. So tonight comes some music honoring the very golden times given to us by Otarion (Extensive), Thaneco (The Cretan Tapes), Ivan Black (Digitus), Steve Roach (Projekt - Spring 2019), Wolfgang Nachahmer (Synchromystik).
Playlist:
Otarion - Unpredictable (Extensive)
Thaneco - Ariadne's Thread (The Cretan Tapes)
Ivan Black - Entropy of Information (Digitus)
Steve Roach - Empath Current (Projekt - Spring 2019 / Compilation)
Wolfgang Nachahmer - Fabrik der Träume (Synchromystik)

Episode 478
We are closing in on summer, and quite a bunch of events start to queue up hopefully not only bringing the light to the stage but also warmer and sunny weather to the northern hemisphere. So this edition will surely raise your hopes for a cracking time, at least musical wise. One month ahead is the next installment of the E-Scape festival in the UK, which is run by AD music (the event, not the UK). It has quite a list of artists to see and hear, like Glenn Main, Axxent Opaque, Nik Owen Jones, and David Wright, all of whom you will get a track of as teaser. Moreover, there are two additional tracks provided by General Fuzz (Study Music) and Oleg Sirenko (Tunguska Chillout Grooves Vol. 2). Please your ears, listen in.

Join tonight's stream to pick up some speed compared to last week, still downtempo for your ears with melodic focus. As with many streams, it will still be a changeful ride of high quality music. Not a stream but a good run have Baltes and Erbe with their music. Both will be recording the first take on their new album tomorrow in Hagen. The event is sold out, but there will be more concerts this summer, like in Essen two weeks later for the second recording session. And in July in Bochum, premiering their final takes on the album named A-11. It's always thrilling to be part of this process. So don't hesitate to join, whenever you can. Ok, back to tonight's show, where I am sure you will enjoy your musical flow with tracks by Thomas Lemmer & Christoph Sebastian Pabst (Meerblick), Stefan Erbe (The Sound of Syndae), Time Away & Myth (Anemoi), Ivan Black (Modern Wonders), Otarion (Extensive), Lastelle (Flying over Shanghai).
Episode 476
I hope you had a nice time the past weekend and week. Here, school vacation time ends which means that everything will become busier from Monday on: trains, roads, walkways... Before throwing oneself back into the daily busy business tonight's edition will serve as an island of tranquility. It is kind of ambient, but not the most quiet kind. And featuring quite a bunch of melodic elements as well. To me, these 30 minutes serve really impressive and serene music taken from recent and upcoming releases by Tom Eaton (How It Happened), Ian Boddy (Altair), Mathias Grassow & Michael Brückner (Polar Vortex), Jim Ottaway (Beyond the Purple Sun), Janne Hanhisuanto (Serenitas).
Episode 475
It's easter time. And while I am not sure whether any of you celebrate it for religious reasons, to me, like christmas, it's a more quiet time to spend with the ones you love and care for. So, not too hard tunes tonight, not too seren, therefore I picked tracks to serve you a fine mix to chill and have fun. On tonight's playlist you will find Planet of the Arps (Planet of the Arps), Klangzaun, Audiokonstrukte (Heavy Dub Vol. 4), Haelium (Rising Tides 013), Santah (Tunguska Chillout Grooves Vol. 2), Diskret (Diskret).
Episode 474
We're in April, and syndae is back on. I've had a bit of a car trouble last week, which made me wonder about Murphy's law on that "things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance". Well, I constantly give things such chances, and so I had to head over to the car registrations office once more to fix things. Nothing complicated, just a typo, but still. And, surely, counting for double the traveling time paid off as well, as I immediately stranded in heavy traffic. Got in still five minutes ahead of the appointment. Which someone contradicts Murphy's law. Well, so are laws. With all this and other troubles in mind, tonight I will celebrate with music that is easy on you. So have a great time with tracks by Gunnar Spardel (Simplicity in a Complex World), Massergy (Fire Opal), Fiona Joy Hawkins (Signature Deluxe Editon), Auditive Escape (Polychorme), Gary Farr (An Angel on Earth), and Streamline (Touch the Clouds).
Episode 473
So they recently presented a really big drone that is meant to become a flying taxi. Four giant rotors and a wagon below. Drones seem to be quite popular these days, hovering in the air with a camera attached to record videos or take photos. Or for current thriller movies as surveillance and weapon systems. Well, back to the taxi thingy, the drawback of this drone was that it couldn't actually fly. And the presenters said that it didn't matter. Well, I wonder what else matters for a drone if it is not flying? But maybe the music of tonight's edition will make you fly or at least lift off. It comes with fabuloues tracks by Baaden & Cremer (Aufbruch), Schiller (Morgenstund), Ebia (Transmission), Colin Rayment (FRB), and Computerchemist (Volcan Dreams).
Episode 472
There are quite some interesting topics in European politics, be it whether or how or not Great Britain leaves the EU, about young people going on the streets for better climate treatment, and about changes in copyright regulations. All quite heavy topics and sometimes it feels overwhelming to try to follow all the pro and contra and propaganda that tries to worsen the situation for common poeple. If you need a short rest to center yourself, tonight's tracks might help. It's a nice and chilly playlist with Time Away (Modern Wonders / Compilation), Stefan Erbe (Reflect+), Schiller (Morgenstund), Zoungla (There Will Be Dub), Biodiode (Cosmic Voyager Vol. 1), Advanced Suite (Cosmic Duality / Compilation).
Episode 471
Since about two weeks the weather is quite pounding in my area, accompanied by quite some rain. Additionally, our dihswasher is doing a constant rhythm one could dance to. Clearly, two forcing signs to have some more beats on the show. And here we go with danceable tracks that may as well be played in a disco or party. It's been a while to visit these more popular region of electronic music, but nevertheless a very interesting one when listening to the details. Have some time off and enjoy the tracks by RCDO (Dawnlights), Lampé (Between the Worlds), Hardcore Buddhist (Altered Perceptions Vol. 1), Sebon (Featuring the Advocates), Fluffy Inside (Fluffy Inside), Kalumet (Kahnua).
