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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
