Going to catch up with one of the biggest German EM events coming up in about two weeks: the Ricochet Gathering. Four days of electronic music starting around noon and ending late at night each day, having improvisation sessions as well as regular concerts and, moreover, featuring a press session with Johannes Schmölling on Saturday. Sounds like a real feast, and what's more to know about the Gathering and the man behind you will get to know on tonight's special, featuring an interview with Vic Rek of Ricochet Dream, including some musical excerpts by Paul Lawler, Jerome Froese, and from the 2003 edition of the Gathering. And don't miss volume 2, having more music by artists playing live in Berlin at the Ricochet Gathering.

Diving deep into ambient on tonight's volume 2 of episode 103. Give your body a rest and inhale the dark and often unusual atmospheres of the tracks by Craig Vear, Creosote, Human Metronome, Nadim Haque, and Rudy Adrian.

Another two volume episode to please you all. Tomorrow, we dive into the depth of the deepest ambient music. But for tonight, there's more festival music on the show, making you hungry for E-Live 2010 and the Ricochet Gathering. You can barely get more electronic music these days, which of we have a very tiny selection with tracks by AirSculpture, EL-KA, Polaris, Sunya Beat, and the "Muflon Sorcerers" a.k.a. Paul Lawler, Dave Brewer, Conrad Gibbons and Yarek.

Great choice to stay with me tonight on volume 2 of episode 102, having only three tracks to do a long play show tonight. Amazing audible pictures by masters of synth. Enjoy tonight: Crystal Dreams, Spyra & Chris Lang, and Steve Gane.

Big festivals to come in Autumn, more visiting artists of the Electronic Circus and some ideas on what the Ricochet Gathering might sound like. Enough stuff to put into two volumes, so this is volume 1 of episode 102 giving you jaunty insights into the music by AntiMatterMan, Arcane, Glenn Henriksen, Ideation, and Intelligentsia.

120 freebees and many visiting artists, things to expect when going to the Electronic Circus festival in Bielefeld on September 25th. A nice chance to meet and greet and have funny or deep chats with fans, artists, and labels face to face, sound to sound. The freebee comes from the DIN label: Conundrum by Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock and Bernhard Wöstheinrich. And more music by artists, who will be in the Movie at the festival: Computerchemist, Intelligentsia, Matzumi, and Picture Palace music.

The grande finale? Rather the last orders for episode 100 with volume 4. Starting off very quiet but turning the volume on for before the end. But the end only is the start to year 3 of syndae. Enjoy an evening with Craig Padilla, Markus Reuter & Robert Rich, Marsen Jules, Neoklast, and Somnarium.

Are you up for another round? Here comes volume three of episode 100. This time a bit more chill-out style contemporary electronica with a wake-up dancable track as tonight's finish. Take your seats, loosen seatbells, and relax with Bluejooz, Das Kraftfuttermischwerk, Evan Bluetech, Mikael Fyrek, moonbooter, and Planet Boelex.
