Anyone in the mood for the festive season? I am not, so on this edition of syndae you will get quite some noisemakers, all of them part of the fascinating species of electronic musicians. One never knows, what is behind a new name, until the sound hits your ear and ensnares you. And these are the artists you will get to hear tonight: Dirk Rohde as Xeniaturaba (Midnight Radio Compilation 52), Anders Jørgenson (Greatest Hits), Möbius (Tempus Fugit), AeTopus (When), Betzler & Brückner (Two), and Claudio Casanueva.

It could have been such a nice and quiet evening, if you weren't going for this podcast episode. Simply let me know, if you dared to sit silently while listening to tonight's guitarish artists, presenting a colorful basket filled with progressive and rocking tracks. Let us enjoy this 30 minutes together with Pyramaxx (Distance), TrucitatE and Flares (Post Rock Germany), Modern Crusader (Long Way Home 1), and Lunar Dawn (Kolovrat).

Days are still getting shorter for some weeks, building a perfect scenery for rather ambient electronica, even with some tickle to it, that is not straight forward background music but that slight experimental touch making the sound so special. While one can listen to ambient music in the background most of the times, you really shouldn't do with tonight's show. Listen closely and discover all the fine details presented within. So, I'd recommend you take a deep dive into the music by Denzel & Huhn (Brom), Elrox Ambient Session (Tralfamadore), Pete Farn (Blow My Tears), Solitaire (Altered States), Sean D. Cooper Marquardt & Lutz Thhuns (Friends of Ambient), El Prêtro Maniaco (Midnight Radio), and Palancar (Shani).

Three, two, one, aural fun. And if you join me and others next Saturday in Dortmund, you will get visual fun as well at the Raumzeit Festival. And if you are in Belgium at B-Wave, I wish you lots of fun, too. So many events to choose from at the moment, one could wish to have a split personality visiting each and all of them. Well, I cannot split, so I'll be in Dortmund that day. And, of course, some more teasing music tonight, where I tried to pick some quieter tracks for exciting your finer senses. On the menu tonight, Frank Tischer, Baltes & Erbe (S-thetic²), Rike Casper, Bouvetøya (Timeslip), All Our Fears and Love (Midnight Radio 51), and Realm (Distance).
