There is a heatwave rolling up in Europe, and we can already feel it with nearly 35 C today. Which makes it a jump of about 15 degrees since last Friday. Such changes make me feel tired and worn out, so there is no place for beats on tonight's show to rock my body. We are back in space, with some of the most wonderful soundscapes to please our ears and minds. Join the ship for a spacey journey to places, where the force is still strong and soothing. A path aurally painted by Martin Stürtzer (Starfields), Ótal (Gjóta), Accasari (Crystalline), Andreas Rönnquist & rsn (within remoteness), SoulSonic (Ambient Works), Loneward (Mosaic: Singles Collection Volume 5), jarguna & Chris Russell (Wind of Dissonance), Grant Beasley (Universal Noise Systems).

Whatever you expect, but there is definitively no soccer inside this podcast. Rather, tonight it's all about repeating patterns and sequences and soundscapes that represent the modern state of Berlin School and inspired music. This style always is intreaguing to me, as it is telling an emotional sound-story from start to end, which simply does not need any words spoken or sung. Quite some journey to experience first hand, without physical travel. Always great to relish the ride. So join in and travel with me and Erik Wøllo (Pandrone), Prgm (Raccolta), Steve Roach (LA ROSA - Live in Tucson), Uwe Rechzeh (The Architecture of Dreams), Martha Rabbit (Kosmotron), Ivan Black (Black 8), DASK Music (Quirky Human), Cells Interlinked (Cold Spring Notes).

What is it like for you opening a new music album? What are you expecting? Things, you already know? Elements of surprise? Back in my youth it definitely was the latter, buying LPs by the cover and description, not knowing, what discoveries were to be made. It's quite similar still today, as I listen to so many new artists and releases. And I am more than often positively suprised by what I get to hear. As I am with all the music on tonight's edition, of course. Join in and enjoy the music by Madis (Ocean Rain), Michael Whalen (Standing Near Infinity), Harald Nies (Strange Matter), Dieter Spears (String Dreams), Conny Olivetti (Rhythm Machine), Rodrigo Passannanti (Timeless Conceptions), Kothyus (Parajes), Stephenson (Once Upon a Time), Simon Heartfield (Light Fades and Light Returns), Time Away vs Talking to Ghosts (Our Steps in the Dance).

I need a chill! It's only May, but temperature's are reaching 30 C and above already. I hope you are with me on this chillout ride. I'd guess, several of those political jerks out there could need a chill and stop being jerks. Not going to happen? You might be right about that. So for the sake of my mind not boiling over and myself to calm down, there will be some cool and relaxing music on this edition with great sounds by ELEON (Artists Sampler Vol. 2), Polished Chrome (Music for Headphones), MubisMusic (HARSH YOGA), Tony Sieber (Tides of stillness), Martin Stürtzer (Closer to Home), Strange Fruit (Drips), David Wright (Invocations (live 2024)), Thomas Lemmer & Sinatic (Infinity), Generaction X (Buzz Cuts Vol. 2), Aaron Smith ft. IndiBlu (Higher).

If there is one instrument for electronic music that is cult, this is it: The Roland TR-808. The percussive foundation for many styles, starting with Electro, Hip-Hop, House, and also diving hard into popular music as well. So, here is an hommage to the legend in drum sounds with show number 808. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions on songs, especially via social channels. I cannot guarantee, all the tracks use the original TR-808, but its the spirit, right? Well, join in for some really cool tracks from, I think, artists never heard on syndae before. Cool sounds you get by Aphex Twin (Selected Ambient Works 85-92), Ryuichi Sakamoto (B-2 Unit), Underground Resistance vs Nomadico (The Final Frontier (Remix)), Professor X (StatiX), Drexciya (Neptune's Lair), Hashim (Electro Compiled by Joey Negro), Cybotron (Clear), The Egyptian Lover (1983-1988), Dynamik Bass System (The Mighty Machine), New Order (Confusion).
