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).
Somehow stranded in between Ambient and Berlin School with tonight's selection from recent and coming releases. Enjoy a relaxing but not really quiet 30 minutes show with Daniel Bloom, Gert Emmens & Cadenced Haven, Phrozenlight, Sample Science, and Tangram.
Beats are by far no foreigners in electronic music. On tonight's show, powerful and in times dancable music to please your ears and legs equally. Enjoy a very rhythmic episode with Andrea Milana, David Leckenby, G.R.O.K., Holle Mangler, Picture Palace music, and Sunya Beat.
Touching the area of dubby, experimental, and ambient music on tonight's episode, you're welcome to join me on a journey in the outer regions of electronic based music as you usually hear on syndae. On the playlist tonight, tracks by Ambient Circle, Julian Ray, Marco Havnin, MetanoiaX, Michael Hoffmann, and Mystified.
It was just last year, when a younger electronic musician gained momentum and got known in the EM scene. Meanwhile, he not only had a fabulous gig on the great german Electronic Circus festival, but also won the Schallwelle award as outstanding Newcomer 2009. And, as important, he became a new born daddy recently. As of June, his new album is out, actually the first pressed album of his. All of this seemed amazing enough to get a little more information of this guy, resulting in tonight's special episode having an interview with dutch artist Meesha.
