Back from Belgium with a bag full of CDs and a brain full of nice experiences, meeting up with friends and artists of the electronic music scene. It was a wonderful festival with cool and fresh music, and my last music event for quite some time. Winter is up in the northern hemisphere. And also some festive days with lots of delicious treats. Well, if you are not into candy bars and chocolate santa, maybe you like the treats I have on this show. Very traditional tonight with brand new music by Michael Brückner (During a Lull and Other Tales), Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder (Live @ B-Wave), Bernhard Wöstheinrich (Elsewhere), and Anantakara (Momentum Lapses).

Tomorrow I'll be on the road to Belgium, looking forward to great musical acts on stage and to meeting lots of electronic music fans. If you are there, don't forget to say Hi. Of course, I'll be there with Stefan Erbe joining his stall for presenting The Sound of Syndae, and Stefan will do some interviews for empulsiv, too. There is plenty to see and hear at the festival, the B-Wave organizers did a great job on that. But before I jump the road, with tonight's edition we celebrate the beauty in electronic music. Easy going and relaxing music before the heat goes on. With wonderful and brand new music, brought to us by Chronotope Project (Lotus Rising), Steve Orchard (Skyway), Sylvain Carel (Talisman), alucidnation (Paracosmic), Gavino Morreti (The Corn Mother), and Reskimus.

Is it the time of evolution? At least for some artists it seems to be. They slough their skin and appear in new garb, adding new and fascinating aspects and style elements to their music. Hence, you will hear cool and new music tonight, which might need some time to recognized the artist behind. And this is one of the reasons why I love this electronic music genre, it's so awesomely diverse, it never stands still in time, and still remains timeless when listening to tracks from earlier in history. You will geet all of this with the tracks by Stefan Erbe (Reflect), Progeny -1 (Ellipse), moonbooter (Groundcontrol), Pan Electric (Step Out), Rudolf Heimann (Trancefusion), Chris Gate (The Sound of Syndae).

So I sat on my couch looking outside, where the moon lit the neighbourhood, standing bright and full at the sky. This seems the best time to actually watch the stars above, with a clear sky and only a few lights soiling it. Great not to live in a big city, where even at night the air is glimmering of street and car lights. Might be even better futher in the fields. Do you like watching the stars? Thinking about it, they make one feel really small, tiny even. There is such a vast space out there, and we on earth are such an unimportant atomic piece to the universe. And being on this tiny little planet, people have nothing better to do than to fight each other for even less important things. With his edtion, let's take a little breath and rest from all this madness. Ambient is calling with tracks by HuuHaa (Frostient), Madhavi Devi (The Truth of Being), Jarguna and Friends (Trapped Vol. 2), Casimir Corona (An Occurrence in the Inverse Universe), and Fiona Joy Hawkins (Piano Peace).
