Power to the speakers

Episode 755

After two rather soft sounding editions, tonight you will get some powerhouse stuff to massage your speaker membranes. Not all full edm, but a good measure of beats to tickle your ear drums. I cannot rule out that it's based to the fact that the current world politics infuse some aggressiveness to my thoughts. But pleasing those feelings by listening to music sounds not so wrong to me. At least it is a non violent treatment. I'd be happy if you join me to listen to still cool music, for any or no reason of course. Tonight's pleasure is brought to us by Cloudwarmer (Nostalgia For a Future That Never Happened), Ivan Black (I've Got Pictures), AutomatA (Bento), Frechbax (Knabaustelmann), Dan-X (Too late), Cixxx J (Hot Trax Vol. 2), Kultur M (Pianeta Ephedrina Volume Due), @beeashra & Ricky Deadking (@Alexander Rues) (Live at U-Site Fusion 99 (Remastered 2025)).

Episode 754

Some see it as romantic non-official holiday, some as some commercially induced tradition: Valentine's Day. Both may be right, but fact is that millions of people are out there to have a wondeful time with their partner in life. Or maybe with whomever they spend their current section in life with. Of course, on should celebrate relationships each day in life. One never knows, if and how long it lasts. Some people prefer to enjoy themself. Cheers to you as well, there is no friend like oneself. Whatever you feel like doing. And for all those romantic or otherwise happy people, I have some rather heart warming music selection on this edition with tracks by Stefan Erbe (Metamorphosys), Eleon (Love Everlasting), Time Away (Osirian Wave), Phaeleh (Fear of Silence), Christina Tourin (From the Angelic Harp Realm), Greg Maroney, Sherry Finzer, Suzanne Lansford (Frostmelt), Dino Pacifici & Brannan Lane (Imaginary Horizons), David Mauk (Piano With a View), Margo Vrubel ([45E104-2024] 333), Matthew Labarge (Windy Starry Blue), Thaneco (Cosmic Atlas).

 

Imaginary hands carrying you

Episode 753

When I was younger I was a fanatic fan of swimming and diving. It always had a bit of being in space, "hovering" weightlessly over the ground, kind of flying like a bird. Not sure what made this stop when I got older. It is funny to think of water and air as so similar, except for their particle density. So are fish the equivalent of birds in water? Well, one might argue. However, this hovering in some medium or in no medium, when it comes to space, is kind of fascinating, don't you think? And there is the perfect music for reaching a similar state in mind: Ambient. So, my dear friends in sound, let's go hovering in music tonight with cool tracks by Altus (Ultraviolet), Dashmesh (Biomimesis), Byron Metcalf, John Gregorius, Sean O'Bryan Smith (Primordial Awakening), Cass Anawaty (Cascades), Grant Beasley (Radiant Dawn), Deborah Martin & Cheryl Gallagher (Tibet), dominykas niaura (bevietystė), Tony Gerber (Finland), Solitaire (Trance Halcyon Connection).

 

High tech in sound

Episode 752

Have I ever said that the world has become crazy? In this prologue, perhaps? Well, if so or if not: The world has become crazy. Lot's of strange guys (mostly men of course) are going nuts with their ideas of how to treat people. And how to do politics for the people. But, you are not here for reading me ranting. You might have a completely different view on the world entirely. What unites us is the love for electronic based music, and that's what you get in good measure tonight. Incredible tracks by Elektronische Maschine (Life goes on), Faber One & Starlight and BIST & CIXXXJ (Pianeta Ephedrina Vol Uno), Mindheal (Heart and Mind), Simon Heartfield (The State Of Social Movement), Side Liner (Guilty Kitty), Ætheros & city at worlds end and Proton 42 (IDMf Retrospective Vol. 5), Eko_Fisk & Gears in the Rain (Dark Air), Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate (The Uncertainty Principle), Wormhole (Hot Trax Vol. 2), Mitochondrial Sun (Machine Dialectics).
