Colour your mind

Episode 198

We're diving into rather calm waters tonight, visiting some recent releases in the domains of ambience or closely related tracks. I always find it fascinating, what these guys make of very few and low volume sounds, always making imgages flash into my mind. Let the music create your own personal short movies, with excellent tracks by B. Ashra, Darwin Raymond, Ice Guild Kaiser, Inference, and Tangram.

Splendid times

Episode 197

Covering some stylistic distance tonight, again a variety in music that is fun to be heard. This also is an opportunity to not only play new releases but also catch up with some great stuff that was waiting on my wait list for quite some time. May the juice be with you getting into tracks by AxBx, Biomass, Hecrom, Kebiin, Klangwald, Masterblaster, and PiXtar.

Aural pick-and-mix

Episode 196

Here comes a binder full of tracks, all from recent releases. Quite a mix of experienced and younger artists, amongs which an interesting sampler comes from the Dhaka Electronic Scene, the show has a mini focus on. Well, come and join me on tonight's show with Alchemy Project, Art of Infinity, CoEx, Faber, Fahad Zaman, Mythos, and The B-Regiment.

All new notes

Episode 195

Happy to have you return to syndae. While I had a wonderful vacation, quite a bunch of new albums piled up, ready to be brought to your ears. On tonight's show, I have the pleasure to introduce five of them, each of which is really magnificent in its own way. Best to pick your phones, lean back, and enjoy 30 minutes of the finest music by David Wright, Darshan Ambient, Schiller, Stefan Erbe, and W.O.S.P.

Decelerating time

Episode 194

 

Music for quieter nights on this episode, just what one needs to leave a busy week behind. Although ambient, the tracks of tonight's show will keep your mind in motion changing between lighter spacy music and darker soundscapes. On the playlist tonight are Alexander Chereshnev, Altus, Bruno Sanfilippo, Craig Padilla and Zero Ohms, Pete Farn, and Phobos.

Reflective waves

Episode 193

The voice is back, at least on the show. Thanks for the feedback, which was quite unanimous. So, more talking, less writing. Tonight's show is a mix of new and recent releases by well known and new artists. No special musical theme, but nevertheless it got a bit reflective in its mood. I hope you will enjoy fantastic tracks by Bernd Kistenmacher, Parallel Worlds & Dave Bessell, Paul Ellis, Remember Green, and Subterrestrial.

Voices inside

Episode 192

Are you missing me moderating the show? Or are you rather enjoying the continuous mix, syndae currently presents? Please, let me know, add a comment to this post or send me an e-mail. I might set up a poll, if that helps decide on the future style of the show.

On tonight's episode, you will get a bunch of music from new releases. Experience your first encounter with Alien Voices in cooperation with Steve Schroyder who recently started distributing their album Qigong Dancing, which gives you a real extra terrestrial feeling with moving beats.

There are re-releases on the grill at SynGate by Syndromeda, like we present one of the track of 2006th Attack! If you need a Stressless Life, this you get by Klangwald.
The duo Northcore, consisting of australian Carl and british Jana, have just released their album Desatero, which is quite some artwork of electronic music. And we've got nice tracks of them. More great news, the brand new moonbooter CD Cosmophonica is out, having the real drive in it.

Finally, there is Glenn Main with tracks from Ripples. And this is to remind you of E-Live, which only is three weeks ahead, featuring not only Glenn Main, but Gert Emmens & Ruud Heij, as well as Bernd Kistenmacher. And some special appearances included, like Space Art. E-Live in Oirschot on October 27th.

Please, enjoy the show and don't forget to get back to me regarding voice over or not. Thanks. Good night. Take care.

Getting happy

Episode 191

After the show is before the show, at least there are more nice shows coming up in October. And, as you know, I love teasing you. But before that, I would like to introduce you to a quartett, one fourth I got to know at the Electronic Circus last weekend. They are Erren, Fleißig, Schöttler and Steffen who took a week off in Ouddorp (NL) to simple record some music. And it got really well. Fine and modern Berlin School on Ouddorp Takes.

For the next event, well, there are a handful of tickets left. So, if you're quick, you get to hear very nice electronic music at the Radio Happy Event on October 6th. For example, by Rainbow Serpent and BatteryDead, where I have tracks from 8th Nerv and Sands of Deception, respectively.

The next major EM event, of course, is E-Live on October 27th in Oirschot. Two of their live acts on tonight's show: Gert Emmens and Ruud Heij, with a track from their album Blind Watchers of a Vanishing Night, and Bernd Kistenmacher, with one song from his Head-Visions. And, btw., Bernd will also be live on stage at November 24th, together with Din-A-Testbild.

Make sure you visit at least on of the coming events, as there is more to electronic music than what you get from your headphones. Enjoy your weekend!

(P.S.: Had to fix the upload, therefore you might have got this announcement before. You've my apologies.)

Darker matters

Episode 190

One day early, as I'll be on the road tomorrow evening, we'll be going into darker material tonight, drifting somewhere in between ambient and industrial electronica. So it is time to let your mind take a grip on softer and harsher waves, floating or backed by creaking sounds and drifting beats.

We start out smoothly with Light and Shadow by Janne Hanhisuanto. Calmly followed by Incentive's Rera pushing us a bit towards the end, which leads right into some more technical world by Rasul Mono from his Silhouettes. Afterwards, The Nikki Grace Experience puts some experimental thrill to it with a()anda partur 2. We'll be cought by the Jarguna and his dark and thriving movements from Waiting for a Call from the Unknown. Just to be challenged by some driving technology from Hanetration's Torn Heat. And it is Ross Baker with his Photografic Reflection soothing us with dark and peaceful soundwaves, seamlessly floating into the Genuit Machina by Ivan Black, which in the end turns out to push us forward. Only, to even out with Bengalfuel's Neely.

Have a great time and take care.
