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).
An episode packed with brand new stuff tonight, so join in for a still quite chilling and relaxing show number 94. On tonight's agenda, listen to beautiful tracks by Alpha Lyra, Bernd Kistenmacher, ebia, Steve Roach, and Wim. Plus, get to know about a special offer on the 10th anniversary of "The Cult of: Bibbiboo" by centrozoon.
When twenty highly talented current electronic music artists join forces, something really amazing can come to existence.
