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).
A "Kraftwerk Tribute" is the motto of this years annual festival at Satzvey Castle, taking place on April 25th. I haven't got permissions to play original Kraftwerk tracks, but no worries, epsiode 32 focuses on kraftwerkish music and artists playing live at the Satzvey Castle festival. Enjoy machine music by Elektronische Maschine, Neon, and Benny Feenell, and music by participating artists ebia, Erik Seifert, and Stefan Erbe.
