It was a rainy late night. The wiper smeared the lights of passing cars over my front shield. And the sound of luaghter and cool music still resonated in my brain. Yes. I was on my way home from the impressive Electronic Circus festival this morning. And heaven seemed to know it's gone for this year. Well, no, I'm not sad, it was a great event and I enjoyed it a lot. Not that tonight's show has anything to do with it. Except for it being a short version. But it has magnificent tracks on it, by Dean De Benedictis (Salvaging the Present), Realm (Empyrean), Jim Ottaway (Invisible Vortex), John Novak (Laments of a Chess Automaton), Digital People (Dead Orbit), Glenn Main (Tribute to Jean-Michel Jarre).

These food people like experiments. I was always a fan of asian cuisine, be it sweet-and-sour or sweet-and-hot. Now, some time ago (which may be longer than I remember) I found this chocolate having sweet cherries and hot chilli as flavour. Turns out, it's quite tasty and not as gross at it sounded. Listening to some of the albums of tonight, their music reminds me of this sweet and hot combination, putting in ingredience of quite opposite taste making the overall composition an aural explosion. Yeah, I know, it's always a matter of personal likings, but I hope you will have this experience with any of the tracks by Irresistible Force ft. Nik Turner (Society of Inner Light), Uwe Cremer & Thomas Rydell (Time Trilogy), Jazzcomputer.org (Waters), Tonbieger (Strandgut), Eagle (Midnight Radio Compilation 71), Gert Emmens (The Last Alien), TJ Porter (The Outsider), HyperEx Machina (Dimension Home), and Ivan Black (Unbroken Kite Strings).

It's one of the last warmer and sunny days over here at my place, and thus will be the music of tonight's edition: relaxed and chilling. So I hope you will find some time to lay back and have a joyful moment listening to these fine tracks. Best to visit a peaceul and nice place in your mind palace, sit down and let your soul hang around following the slower and faster beats of the show, while listening to tracks by Vaporgrave (Split 2), Julian Ray (Space Wanderer), The Pels Syndicate (Life Cycle), Stan Dart (Hometown Menories), Kuba (Society of Inner Light), Three Fields (Island Mixes), Who Ha (Retro Promenade 09.16), Max Jahn (Skyrunner), Heavenchord (In Search of a New Dimension), rob-a (Element EP), and B. Toriyama (Episodes).

We just did a full circle. That is, I am happy to announce syndae's 360th edition, one show for every degree of the perfect two dimensional form. Now guess, where the word circus stems from? Right! And all this introduction leads us to the main topic of the show: the Electronic Circus. The festival is right ahead, one month to go, on October 1st. With quite some cool acts and of course all your musical friends are awaiting you. Some teasers, of course, you will find in tonight's edition, as there are Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Ulrich Schnauss, Metroland, BAR*, and Fryderyk Jona. Moreover, I will present fantastic music by Eckul (Codex Internnum), Digital People (Dead Orbit), and Noston (Midnight Radio Compilation 70).
