Only one week after the great Schallwelle event, here comes a new episode of syndae Podcast. It was really cool in Bochum, and many friends and artists met up in the Planetarium to celebrate artsits and albums of 2011. But back to 2012. We're only one week ahead of the next EM festival: Satzvey Castle by SynGate. Berlin School style music at it's best. And of course I'll give a little teaser in form of tracks, which are by one half of Rainbow Serpent, also known as Der Laborant, and by ebia. But there is more fresh music on this show in form of tracks by MigloJE, Robert Schroeder, Sinestesia, and Tornfly.

Now, this will be a qite "loud" weekend. It's Schallwelle event time and lots of nice people to meet and greet and celebrate the best of EM. I'm really looking forward to the nice concerts, as well. But afterwards, I will definitely enjoy some silence. And what better to support this than by having really cool ambient music around. So has tonight's episode, featuring brand new albums and upcoming releases from masters of quiet music. Take some time out and be delighted by tracks by Altus, Deaf Center, Janne Hanhisuanto, litmus0001, Rafael Anton Irisarri, The Next Commmuter, We are Creosote, and Winterberg.

Finally the Northern Hemisphere is walking towards Spring, and we already had temperatures of 10 degrees. Time to do a show that has some light and fresh music. Not only that, we have quite a bunch of new releases to present. And moreover, the next electronic music event is coming up: Satzvey Castle, the event on Berlin School music. Well, I hope you will have fun with tonight's episode, serving tracks by BatteryDead, Grauglanz, moonbooter, Tangram, and Vate.

Last week, I presented some of the artists nominated for Schallwelle awards. Of course, there are more. And tonight we have some really big names. Concert appearances and releases made them go for the awards, and many followers took the chance to cast their vote. So here we are with tracks by nominated artists and from nominated albums, on tonight's playlist are Eric van der Heijden, Glenn Main Henriksen, Johannes Schmoelling, Loom, Picture Palace music, Ron Boots, and Tangerine Dream.

The year 2011 was quite a good one wrt. electronic music. Lots of great festivals, concerts and album releases to celebrate. And that's exactly the purpose of the Schallwelle Awards being held in March in Bochum. On tonight's edition, some of the artists nominated will give their reprise. Including the brand new album by F.D.Project and some of the best of last year, like those by Matzumi, Pyramid Peak, Synth.nl, and Uwe Reckzeh.

Charming music on tonight's show, just in between being nice and being chilling. It of course is beautiful soundscaping and slightly driving rhythm giving that will make you feel comfortable with the world. Let me take you on a calm and easing ride with tracks by Bernd Scholl, Claudio Merlini, Crystal Dreams, Phillip Wilkerson, Radium88, and The Pels Syndicate.
