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).
Back to some roots, I'd say, with this edition of syndae. Rather traditional electronic music on tonight's menu spanning various styles and in an extra large show, too. This is music that takes its time. Marvellous new and older tracks of highly recommended artists, including some free of charge albums as well. Tracks you will hear in a mix come from 23fish (Javi Canovas & David Paredes), Cyborg, Daniel & Booth, Dieter Werner, Kebu, and mac of BIOnighT.
Not really sure, but seems, I am in a chillout mood recently. Well, as it happens tonight comes another laid back edition, this time in a non-stop mode with not many words from my side. If the weather is fine, take this to a sunny place, and breathe in the tracks by Deto and Gleam, DML, Essáy, Moognase, Sascha Müller, and Wenzel.
Yet another episode stuffed with new recent releases. As always, with high quality music trying to tickle your mind or muscles, making you move either in spirit or by rhythm. On tonight's show, fantastic tracks by Dithmar, Erik Seifert, EugeneKha, Memorygeist, and Praguedren.
An episode I just needed after that week: quiet, relaxing, but not too slow so one falls asleep. And all the tracks come from recent album of 2011, showing again a small excerpt from all the cool new albums released this year. Would be great if you take the time and join me with tracks by Anima Infinity, Desa Systems, Devine Matrix, David Helpling & Jon Jenkins, Johan Agebjörn, and Robert Fox.
I endorse the times, when I come to rest and simply switch my mind into relaxation mode. Of coure, one never is alone and without thoughts, but hey. A nice companion are the sounds of the environment and surely ambient music. Tonight, I am delighted to have some very still tracks, well, occasionally disturbed by my voice, but I hope not too often. So I hope you can rest as well with music Apollonius & 33 Tetragammon, Nadim Haque, Spheruleus, and Stellardrone.
