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).
Currently, lots of fresh releases pop up, and tonight I have three of those on my show, two of them being published right this weekend when you have the chance to listen to this podcast for the first time. And it's quite terrific material as well. So I invite you to take an electronic and progressive ride on this episode to enjoy tracks by Nattefrost, Picture Palace music, and Weldroid.
New releases everywhere. Tonight, some not-so-traditional electronic music albums, which jumped into my ear and kept stuck long enough to make it on this episode. I'm really sorry to only have 30 minutes for tonight's show, but these are the rules wrt. the licenses I own. It's quite a mix of styles again, and I hope you enjoy the tracks as much as I did and do. On this show, you'll get to hear Antendex, Aruom, Complexystems, Ian Boddy & Parallel Worlds, Jazzcomputer.org and RamsayGee.
When reading about the earthquakes in Japan and the terrible effects, I did not really know what to do wrt. syndae podcast. It's always a bit difficult to handle such situations. Now I have the chance to not only express my sorrows about the incidents and sympathy for all the people in Japan, but make you aware of a project supporting the red cross's work over there. It's a benefit compilation with great music, so it's not only benefitiary for the red cross but also for anybody ordering a copy of this double album. Representatively, I present 8 of 27 tracks of the album "Electronic music for life" by Glenn, Harald Nies, MaEasy, moonbooter, René Splinter, Spyra & Roksana, Uwe Reckzeh, and Visible Breath.

It's great to see that quite some new events in electronic music were or will get born this year, trying not only to give a platform for presenting established artists, but also introducing a spiced mix of styles and sound and visual presentation to span a bridge between our beloved electronic music and the wider scenery. So I am happy to introduce some of these events, which will give us the opportunity to experience more electronic music. Of course, represented by tracks of one or more artists to be heard on these events, which are for tonight's show Bernhard Wöstheinrich, Geigertek, Leander Reinhinghaus, Richard lainhart, Stefan Erbe, and The American Dollar.
Over the years, eventually, from roots have grown stems sometimes ending in leaves. Looking at electronic music, at some places we're surely somewhere in between stems and leaves, like for the broad area of Berlin School style music as offered by the SynGate Records music label. Tonight's show features this label and their forthcoming anniversary festival at Satzvey Castle on May 7th. Get into the mood with some excellent tracks by Detlef Keller, F.D.Project, Pete Farn, Stockman, TMA, and Vanderson.
