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).
Life can be tough sometimes, great if artists like the Ambient Collective care and put out a release for charity. And with some great tracks, too, of course. Three of these you'll get on this show, by Bluejooz, Braindouche!, and Greg Plummer. But there is more to this chill out episode: new faces at syndae with Rieg from Norway and Parseque from Germany. And a wonderful quiet track completing the relaxing moments of tonight's show by René van der Wouden.
Fluent grooves in rhythm and bass, unwinding patterns that get you moving. On tonight's episode, you will get a continuous driving atmosphere, hopefully helpful to wind down from the weeks exhaustion. Marvellous dubby tracks on this show by Das Kraftfuttermischwerk, EugeneKha, MetanoiaX, Para, and Taschenrechnermusikant.
Continuing with re-viewing the Electronic Circus. In volume 2 of this episode we take a listen to the main act of 2010, Spyra & Lang, with two temendous tracks. But also get to know about a label and artists new to the Circus, and new to Germany, with Mirai from England and Glenn from Norway.
It's early 2011, and we take a look back at 2010. One of the most successful and impressive EM festivals in Germany has been the Electronic Circus of last year. Great artists, great atmosphere, and lots of fun. This two volume episode gives you excerpts of live recordings as well as of the just released interviews done at the Circus. Of course, lots of music, and in volume one you will get tracks by Computerchemist, Deep Imagination, Harald Grosskopf & Udo Hanten, MorPheuSz, and Nattefrost.
Happy 2011 everybody! As a startup to this year, a tiny focus on the upcoming Schallwelle awards and this year's winner of the lifework's prize, Klaus Schulze. The Schallwelle is the German award for electronic music and will be given in 6 categories. Moreover, it's open for voting to the public, so cast your votes now. Complementary to Klaus, two tracks by admirers of the 70s close tonight's show, composed and produced one by Arroniz and Joost Egelie each.
