Having a cold isn't really too bad. But the downsize for me: it stole my voice. Well, instead of dropping this weeks edition, I employed a guest host for you. So you will meet George. Not a real person though, but a computer generated speaker. I remember back in the days, when computer voices sounded really bad, somewhat worse than mine at the moment. But nowadays, high-end generators can do wonders. Not that I could employ one. But free speakers are quite good today as well. And George was free, so thank you, George, for taking over for tonight. Not the longest speaking time though, as we only have three tracks on the show tonight, which are by Pollard, Daniel, Booth (Eight), Wolfgang Nachahmer (Eiszeit), and Kellerkind Berlin (Spinning Around Bits and Bytes).

After the festival is before the festival? Well, there are a bunch of concerts coming up, like BKS in Bad Sulza next weekend and Sound of Sky as well as Johannes Schmoelling the weekend after. But the next bigger station is on December 1st with the B-Wave festival. Where I also will be and have a combined stall with erbemusic. Well, time to give you some teasers for the event in form of tracks by Erik Wøllo (Threshold Point) and Pyramaxx (Distance) tonight. But, of course, there is more fresh music on this edtion. Fantastic music to be heard by Progeny -1 (Ancient Artisans), David Wright (Stranger Days), and Colisseum (Adventus).

What an exciting time. Tomorrow is the third event to visit and present the Sound of Syndae CD. I've been to Oirschot before, several times, but it was never like this. And more than that there will be really cool acts on stage the whole day. I really hope to meet quite a lot of you guys to talk music. Ron Boots is doing a great job there over the past 20 or so years, with E-Live and E-Day being a beacon of the EM world. But let's check on tonight's edition of syndae, which will present some amazing music as well. And brand new stuff as well that just reached my hands. It's kind of action packed but far from technoid. Just get the volume right and have a joyful listen to Time Away & Myth (Dreaming of Other Worlds), Weldroid (End of Mission), Parallel Worlds & Dave Bessell (Dystopia), Aevin (The Aftermath), Red Plane (Mask), and Audio Cephlon (Oumuamua).

So after the Electronic Circus, with all their stunning acts live on stage, I finally am back. Well, yes, I tuned out for some days vacating in beautiful Italy for a change. Mille grazie, Italia. It was great to have a short break, after finishing the CD and doing the Circus. Next up is E-Live in Oirschot, which already is next week on October 20th. Still time to book your trip and get tickets for the event. And therefore I have some news, too. First, P'Faun will bring their new album, live to stage and physical at Groove. And as a teaser a track on this edition of syndae. Several new releases have been announced to appear on the day of E-Live. One of them is the new album by Syndromeda, another by E-Tiefengrund, and there will be more. So while waiting for the big festival coming up, enjoy listening to P'Faun (Golden Peacock), Syndromeda (Eternal Destination), amd Picnicboy (Echoes).
