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).
On we go with brand new material in tonight's episode, presenting the new release by Rene Splinter and the debut album by BatteryDead as mini features. Further on the show, we take a musical sip beyond the rim of our teacup with jazzy influenced Nheap. But with Uwe Reckzeh, of course, we also have modern classic EM on the show.
The end of winter is near, and new releases and events are sprouting in the realm of electronic music, some of which being introduced in tonight's episode 78. Starting of with the remastered debut album of Remy, over the recent and upcoming releases by TM Solver and Von Haulshoven to rather gripping EPs by Mythos and Th.e n.d.
So far, so good ... time for episode 77, and while Schallwelle is still in my head (and on this show), there also is new exciting music inside as well. We start of with a very well known track being the title theme for the famous radio show "Schwingungen" by moderator legend Winfrid Trenkler. The artist is none other than Ashra drummer Harald Grosskopf. Moreover, tracks from brand new albums by the Ambient Circle and Harald Nies as well as magnificient music by Level Pi, Pyramid Peak, and Wim.
Correction to the cast: Satzvey Castle music festival of course takes place on April 10th!
With episode 76 you get a real winners' show. Honoring the winners of the Schallwelle Awards 2010 spiced with a little bit of my personal thanks to all of the artists, labels, media, and fans out there supporting and participating at the awards. Tonight on the playlist are the EM legend Ashra, best artist (online voting) Dithmar, best album artist (online voting) Synth.NL, best newcomer (jury voting) Meesha, and best artist and best album artist (jury voting) Spyra.
Episode 75 with yet again a mini feature. This time it's Nemesis and their just officially released new album, Gigaherz. Very recommended for when you want to really listen to music with all senses. And, of course, there is more music on this show, fresh tracks by David Clavijo and Xerxes as well as a classic Berlin School sequencer highlight given by Gert Emmens and Ruud Heij.
