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).
I'm looking at a quite good filled playlist of contemporary electronic music tonight. Some tracks of tonight's show or the according albums need more than one spin to get into them. So listen carefully tonight and enjoy an XL episode with Enso, Mizati, Noston, Pete Farn, Sigmafly, and Transcend with Time.
It's getting colder out here in Europe, although some mild days pleased us lately. Time to put in some hot sounds, sequences, and rhythms from some of the best current electronic musicians. If you like the sounds of the golden age of EM, this show will drive you home. Enjoy intriguing scapes of pleasure with tracks by Picture Palace music, Pyramid Peak, Space Station, and Triple S.
When rhythm and melody embrace each other, some really nice tunes come to live both chilling and moving at the same time. Tonight we have several such pieces from new and recent releases on the menu, pleasing ones audio receptionists to their very best. Join me tonight for tracks by David Wright, Frechbax, Great Skies, Guido Negraszus, Nheap, Patrick Geren, and Patrick O'Hearn.
It's all about easy rhythms and warm soundscapes, spiced with nice and beautiful melodies. Yes, we're going quite relaxed into the night with artists known to and new to the syndae podcast. For a relieving half an hour, go for a nice place and listen to Altus, Darshan Ambient, Dubtrix, Marow, Radio Free Clear Light, and The X-Structure.
Another week bites the dust. Let's praise those who invented the weekend, as it is quite delicious to have one. Tonight's episode will go into the quiet realms, as we did several times before. It's all fresh, recent releases to please your ears with fine sound taking you on a silent journey from your heart to your soul. Take a deep breath of music with tracks by Ken Elkinson, Michael Sandler, Phillip Wilkerson, Sam Rosenthal, and Steve Roach.
