There we go. Lots of events still ahead this year, and you are invited to pick one or more locations to visit and enjoy the music. In several cases, the locations are unique as well, may it be a cave an exhibistion hall, or a cafe. The best is to be able to experience live electronic music and meet the artists. And with that, of course, supporting them by buying tickets or CDs. Because, as you will have heard, streaming does not pay a dish. Too many listens are necessary to earn a buck. And I am sure you would like to hear from the artists more cool music in the future. Tonight I will tease a selection of upcoming events in Europe, but there are surely more and some abroad. For now, enjoy the wonderful music of Pyramid Peak (Kontinuum), Ron Boots (Alone on Stage), REMY & Däcker (Live at BYSS), TaboTago (Sessions 009 - 20211217 Corroding Modernism), Cestrian (Gradients), Feralia Planitia (Feralia Planitia), Frank Tischer (Impulse), Tangerine Dream (Phaedra).

Quite a week this was, especially job wise packed with tasks. Also, the coming weekends are packed with nice music events, while the bigger ones seem to have run well in the past weeks. Some of you might know that I curate a list of coming events in the European area over at empulsiv.de, just in case you are interested. One bigger one is ahead tomorrow with Awakenings all dayer, but then some fine ones are up as well, like Bernd Scholl, featured tonight, Pyramid Peak with Ron Boots, Der Spyra and TaboTago on Flux and Pulse, Frank Tischer, and a hot one with Tangerine Dream. But for tonight, it's relaxation time with some ambient and related love spread by Parallel Worlds (Impressions), Sophos (Sending Signals), Bernd Scholl (An Evening in The Cave Live), Peter Phippen & Ivar Lunde, Jr. (Earthly), Blue Is Nine (Life in Motion), Andy Pickford (Something Wonked This Way Comes).

Did I ever mention being a fan of Snooker? Well, I am. And there is one reason in particular, why I do: It's the kindness and sportsmanship of the players. I cannot remember any other sport where the opponent applaud each other for great shots and celebrate for reaching 100 points or even 147 (the maximum number of points, very rare). My wife usually says that Snooker is great for bed time, as it supports falling asleep. I strongly disagree. It's full of suspense, tragedy, and fun. However, I wish all people would be that kind and supportive to one another like these players are. And in the end, I agree that the sport can be helpful to come down and chill. Like the music on tonight's edition. So join in and enjoy the cool sounds and beats by Das Kraftfuttermischwerk (Im Garten der Schneekugel), Young Ruji and ЭЮЯ (Various Artist Compilation 2024), Gabriel Le Mar (Light of Unity), HYRN (Schallplatte 27: Mythologie), Rayo Hunters (Anima Blanca), Pope John Paul Van Damme (Disinfamy), HATCH (Electrode),Theo Falcon (Season Zero), Cousin Silas & Glove Of Bones (Spirits of Afrodubism (Extended Reissue)).

Nature is a great invention. Well, not really an invention. But it's great. Especially in autumn, when the forests turn so colourful, all the mushrooms sprouting, everything living in harmony. Ok, nearly everything. But humans. Be it crazy election campaigns. Be it trashing trust in Open Source. Be it fighting and killing others. Now, maybe those things are not really comparable, but they all showcase the stupidity of human kind. And now think about our so called intelligent race being on earth for several thousand years. If you were an alien from outer space, would you be eager to show up and befriend us? Hum, do I sound erratic? Well, let's turn to something more comfy and beautiful: new age and electronic music. A real feast for one's ears I have for you with music by Max Schiefele (Waldgeist), Larkenlyre (Dragonfly Halfdreams), Bernd Scholl (An Evening in The Cave Live), Rodrigo Passannanti (Forgotten Worlds), Suriya (Schallplatte 27: Mythologie), Sam Wilkes (iiyo iiyo iiyo), John Gregorius (Communion), Rena Jones & KiloWatts (Caesura), Holland Phillips (A Sense of Distance), Wane of Summer (Spine of Destiny), Ivan Black (I Can See Another Time).
