It's been an essential part of the syndae culture to have music from many sources on the show. Especially the rise of the netlabels back in the day gave lots of great material to showcase that music must not be commercial to be good. Since a while, these labels celebrate themselves each year on July 14th having the Netlabel Day. Which, this year, was about a week ago. What better time to pick up the celebration and give you a tiny selection of what to find on their website. Enjoy tracks by Me As In You (Neon), Sensor II (Magnatune Sampler 2023), Lovin (Netlabel Day 2023: True Electronic Underground Music), Cairo Braga (The Front Balcony), OKAM (Dub Noir), Mental Health Consumer (Everything at Once), Guska (5 Years a Goose), H-M O (CC-BY IV), Drehkommando (Mülheimer Nacht 2023), Secret Archives of the Vatican (Herosys Dub), Orgonon Sound Machine (The Ashes), DJ Nightnoise (Netlabel Day 2023 Techno Warriors).

Oh, boy. When compiling tonight's edition, it was so warm and humid over at my place that it deserved nothing much moving. Well, turns out I have just the right music for such cases and here you go. Easy peasy. So, while I like being in my home office, I am definitely fond of visiting the buro these days, because of the wonderful people, of course, but also because of the AC. Hehe. So join me for some not stressing sounds with tracks by Carl Lord (Rest), Cognition Delay (Mostly Dreaming), 4T Thieves (The Shipping Forecast), Beck & Black (I Am The One Who Waits Here), Volker Lankow (Music For Forgotten Places), Allen Pitts (The Four Elements: Water (Volume 1)), Eguana (Cosmos Episode 15).

Are you looking out for something special? Well, much to discover out there, especially with respect to fine electronic music. Here at my place, someone seems playing with the sun-valve. Turning it up and down for fun, it seems, as the next days are said to get hot again, after a short break. The better to have some music that does not heat you up a lot, at least not rhythm wise. So it's the best time to join me for great sounds by Wane of Summer (Ancient Cats of Egypt), WhoKnowsWhoCares (WhoKnowsWhoCares), Dirk Schlömer (Dubby Nocturne), Space Art (Personal Duty), S.A.W. (Hydragate), Michael Whalen (Walk In Beauty, Like The Night), Rick Sparks (Nightsong), Ambiente Solstice feat. Sean O'Bryan Smith & ELEON (Her Beautiful Imperfections), Ranzman and tha Electric Gamelan Dub & Chill Arkestra (Silk Road Sketches), Paul Ellis (Music For The Space Between Atoms), Eagle (Synth. Music) (Daft muzak for Radio stations Vol.2).

Not sure what's wrong with the world these days. So my instagram account was cloned (several times) lately, some of you might have noticed. They copy all the images and the look and stuff, so you might think it's the original one (except for the name being slightly different). Then contacting ones contacts to lure them into some bitcoin scam or the like. Well. Be cautious if you are contacted in a way you don't expect to be. And always make sure, it really is the person you know that is contacting you. And even more so, if that person tries to sell you something. I am not selling anything but great music on my podcast and streams. So join in for some great stuff by Oscar Postma, S.A.W. (Hydragate), KelMen (Results), Joerg Dankert (Strange new worlds), Jarmodular (Sounds from the black machine), Syndromeda ft. Tom Coppens (Inside the Mental Hospital), Malcolm Galloway (Metazoa One).

Are you going on vacations? Well, many of my colleagues are leaving soon for summer to cherish some nice and lovely place out there. My wife and I were gone already and had some relaxing and joyful time at the Baltic Sea. Lovely weather, lovely environment and a lot of fun and peace and ice cream, of course, loads of ice cream. Isn't it fascinating how many ice cream parlours are in places people stay for holidays? Well, not all of them have good stuff, I can tell you that from experience (hahaha). So, what's vacation and ice cream have to do with tonight's music? Actually, nothing. You will get great tracks, though, provided to us by Atom Brigade (Atom Brigade), Collagist (Vjetnam), MigloJE (Elements 2), Genda (INTENT 2023: Kinetikos), Adrian Brewer (INTENT 2023: Eudaimonia), Evidence of a Struggle (Evidence of a Struggle), Conny Olivetti (Never Give Up), Altus (Descender), Firnwald (Black Fortuna), Mitoma | Weldroid (MXW II).

Do you like walking by the sea? I'd say many humans do. Why? Well, let's ask ChatGPT, which says: "Humans are often drawn to walking by the sea due to a combination of factors, including the inherent beauty and tranquility of coastal environments and the numerous physical and psychological benefits associated with being near the ocean." So one main factor also is relaxation and stress relief. Well, do you always have a sea at hand? I definitely do not. But there we have Ambient music. This works for me for sure, maybe for you as well? Take an hour of aural well-being with this edition featuring Germind (Meditation, Vol. 2), Abdicant (I Am Not Sure How This Makes Me Feel), Sonic Bodhi (Future Dreams), Jingoba Electric (Breathe TM), 1414E08 (Synth City), Stratosphere (Cyclus), Aglaia (Along the Vast Ancient River).

Summer is getting closer in the Northern Hemisphere. So hopefully there will be some sunny days, not too hot of course, but quite enough to collect some vitamin D. And it is always a nice view to have those golden sunbeams make the water sparkle and schimmer between the leafs of trees. Similarly, it is nice to take a look back at the golden ages of traditional electronic music and relish the sparkles of soundscaping and sequencing of that time. Well, time to open the jar and let in the experienced and fresh artists of this genre to make us happy with newly discovered and re-imagined past sound treats. Tonight you will get great tunes by Filter-Kaffee (Dziękuję Klaus), Wellengärtner (Preview Güterhallen Sollingen), Fritz Mayr and Mac of BIOnighT (Coordinates Vol. 11), Astralmuse and Philipp Baumann (Misplaced Memories), Ivan Black (A Return To The Berlin School 2023).

Ambient, Chill and now... Dance, of course. We are picking up more speed this week with some beats that may move your legs, if you want it or not. Well, we are not going full techno, but definitely dancable stuff. A quite sad closing though, as we lost one of the fun guys these days with Anfrando Maiola aka Koto. From his music I would conclude he would like you to live happily ever after and dance your name in the sand. Join in for beefier beats by Counterfly ft. Alec Troniq (The Only Land Where), DXN and Toxic Derwish (INTENT 2023: Kinetikos), Adriano Canzian (Aggressiva), Mar io (Choplifter), Tomchilla & mexCalito (The Cave), Patrick 9000 (Endless Journey), Elrox (Selveste Direktøren), Koto (Greatest Hits & Remixes).
