There are quite some bank holidays in May. Several of them rooting in religious festivities. Well, I don't mind, as they serve quieter times. Less traffic, less people, more time to simply rest and relish Spring time. The downside is that most shops are closed on such days and people tend to run shopping the days before and after the holiday. "And" not "either, or". It's getting quite crowded on those days. The more a reason to calm oneself. And there is a nice aural way to support easing ones mind: listening to great ambient electronic sounds. So, for these or no reason at all, join me for great tracks given by Erik Wøllo (Crossing the Equator), Ambient Indigo (Chasing Shadows), Helsinki Project (Shadowclaw), Ron Shayler (Gravity Vectors), Vamadeva (The Call of Wisdom), Parallel Worlds (Artiphon), Hanetration (Resonator), Eko_Fisk (Strand), Bernhard Wöstheinrich (Live in Beacon 2023, Set 1).

It's usually the night life, when people stream into clubs and go for dancing or what they nowadays call so. Of course, it always depends on the music. I am no fan of dancing and don't do it at all. My wife can tell you stories. No idea, why it is that way. Maybe it was that dancing course I had to participate in at school time. It was terrible to say the least. Well, nevertheless, rhythm in music still gets me now and then. And when it makes me move or at least wobble my head, I know it got to me. So, tonight you will get some wobble moments, I hope. Electronic dancy stuff, for most of the time. Enjoy the beats by Gabriel Le Mar and Flux Natura (LSD Special Selections Vol​.​11: CALAN HAF Vol 2), Martin Stürtzer (Phase Transform), Elysian Underground, Andy Morello (Electrical Emotions), NYORAI (Shinkirō), Plateau Sigma (Feed It), Tonylight (Lumanoide), Particules (Escape Path).

I admit that musically I tend to delve in the past. It's simply so that those days were the days that hooked me to instrumental and electronic music. My first LP, or rather one of my parents, was an album containing instrumental music played using electric guitars. I barely remember the songs on that LP, but loved it. And later loved the electronic ones even more. It is obvious that I am not alone with this love, as there are still artists being inspired by the style and structures of the songs back then. So here we are again with several such artists. And there is no doubt that their interpretation of the style is no copy but inspired by the music of the past, bringing their own take on traditional electronic music. Join me and enjoy great music by Paul Ellis (The Haunted Afternoon), Micado (SculptureS), Tabilonder (Personal Cosmos), REMY & Däcker (Live at BYSS), Kenneth Roberts (Exploration SX-240), Ivan Black (Moving), @Oscar Postma (Timebender).
