Lightweight listening

Episode 746

Yes, it's this time of the year, where big chunks of chocolate is formed into strange and hollow figurines and such. Like it or not, in many regions of the world, people may follow their believes (generally) freely. For others, it serves as some welcome time out to spend with your family or friends. A common theme of these festive days is the kind of music you hear. And while radio stations tend to play the same plunder each year, welcome to syndae. You do get some nice tunes tonight, as a precognition for the coming days, but it's new, at least to the show. Feeling joyful? Then join in for beauties in sound by Gandalf (A Light from Afar), David Lindsay (With You), Jim Ottaway (Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying), Steen Chorchendorff Jorgensen (Floating out of Thin Air), Kori Linae Carothers (On A Cold Frosty Morning), Fiona Joy Hawkins (Music For Study And Relaxation), Joe Weineck (Earthlings), Lynn Tredeau & Sherry Finzer (Snowfall), Christina Tourin & Peter Sprague (Imaginings (DuoVersion)), Brian Mulder (Cygnus), Ambient Ballroom (ja ohne geht), Ryan Michael Richards (That Trip to Bethlehem), Rick Sparks (Winter Dream), Dan Kennedy (Ascend to Adonleigh).

 

Off the beats

Episode 745

Not long before the festive season, time to look back at 2024 and all the music that wasn't featured on syndae yet. Well, mainly because it did not fit to the theme of a show. I receive quite a lot of submissions that does sound great, but is stilistically a bit off to the sound you are used to. It's still worth listening to, as I think there are so many interesting musical discoveries to make, so many new sensations to feel. So join in tonight for a very cool edition of the show with music by Halogen feat. Synaecide (Retrospective Vol. 4), illocanblo (Various Artists Compilation 2024), Undsidedly (Seventeenth Listen), Dirk Schlömer (Dancin' Shoes), Mad-Tek feat. Gella (Algorhythmic Bias 3.0), Djane Ki feat. M.Nomized (DARK METERS #2), dominykas niaura (bevietystė), Lifting Gear Engineer (Recovery), Kilmarth (Radical Entropy), Džiunglių Dvasios feat. Paulius Soham (Space and Bass), TOKEE (ЛЕЯ), PearFinch (BC Catalogue II (2022-2024)).

 

Cinamon paved sounds

Episode 744

It's the time of the year where the "good old" Christmas songs tend to be played all over the radio stations. Luckily, I rarely listen to radio. But I already have been whammed. Well, at least they don't start playing them by the time they start selling Christmas chocolate. And there are people who like to listen to these songs, for example my wife. Well, there will be no such music on syndae. At least not for tonight. But I chose to have some chilling tunes, so your ears can rest from all the bells and whistles. Join in for cool stuff by Obituary (始まり), Synth replicants (Dreams Of Paradise), Remote Guest List (An Abyss Of My Own Making). Zero Cult and Goasia (Chill On Ice), Bluetech ft. BISHØP (Spacehop Chronicles 2: Limonchik), 4T Thieves (Fragment (Special Edition)), Steen Chorchendorff Jorgensen (Floating out of Thin Air), Sonic Research Society (Observers), developingrhythm (filtered lounge), Globular (Very Nested Recurrences).

 

Raising the fun bars

Episode 743

We are going to have fun tonight with some modern electronic music. We're rapidly speeding towards the end of the year, I think there are three more shows to come before we increment the annual counter once again. Btw., the Schallwelle award voting will start soon, so it's definitely time to revisit many of the new releases by checking out this year's editions of syndae. I'm quite sure, you will find some favorable albums on the show. The catalogue of releases for 2024 is vast, as usual. Don't forget or miss to support your favourite artists. Maybe there is one among those of tonight, where you will get fine treatments by Axess/@maxxessmusic (Sleep), WEGA (Echoes From A Gentle Past), Vortex Elements (Wavement), Paul Ellis & Pabellón Sintético (Veiled Portraits), F.D.Project (The Last Curtain), Spectral Tune (Schallplatte 27), Ivan Black (Define and Refine), Stefan Erbe (Light of Sirius), Synth replicants (Dreams Of Paradise).

 

Celebrating sound trek

Episode 742

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of a gentle podcast. Its continuing mission: to explore wonderful new sounds; to seek out new vibes and new aural experiences; to boldly play what no one has heard before. Well, quite so. Because you might have heard similar tunes before. And our voyage does explore material highly inspired by others. Like for tonight, where the notes take us back to the golden age of electronic music, where Space Ambient and Berlin School meet up to celebrate excellent endeavours. Join in for fantastic treats by F.D.Project (The Last Curtain), Cello (Modular Timelapse), Vanderson (2055), Vortex Elements (Wavement), Erik Wøllo (Solastalgia), The Fourth Dimension Project (Colours of the Universe), Fratoroler (L.I.K.E.S.)
