syndae - podcast on fine electronic music

[treibklang]

I have fresh and upcoming music and a joyful look back on tonight's playlist, all in all quite easy going this time. We start with a preview on Cantarella, the upcoming album by Z. Then we have a new compilation by the Tunguska Electronic Music Society named Craters: Cheko, where we have contributions from Radiotuman, Al K, and AoL. Then a short backflash to some Rainbow Serpent treat from Stranger. And closing up with Liplug's Blinker.

Oh boy, I am melting away. Yeah, I may be a mollycoddle whining at 30C, but this warmth simply does not fit with my body's desires. Nevertheless, hot music on tonight's show with a certain beat. Maybe a little track to recover in the middle. Starting Environmental with Stefan Erbe. Going beyond the Listening Booth with City at Worlds End and Ætheros later on. Having some fun with Opaeq in between. We then Push Against New Fakes when playing from Any Color You Can't See. And closing up with Lucent Echoes by Elrox.

Thankfully, the short heat wave is over for now and not only I but also my computer has no need for heavy breathing anymore. So what is best than having some music going easy on one's mind? Well, this show has the right music for this mood. And it lifts off with Kikai's contribution to the sampler Sehnsucht. We the experience Forever Changes, the new album by Claudio Merlini. Which is followed by Erik Wøllo's new EP Tundra. A look back to the 90s is brought to us by Wayne Gratz and his Blue Ridge. Then having again brand new stuff, which is Compuctio by Johan Tronestam. And also the closer is newer than new, with the upcoming album Herrscher im Orbit by ebia.

Bumming around in a sun-lounger, watching the few clouds in the sky that dare to fight the sun but with no earthly chance to win. Fitting to this mood, a nice bunch of electronic tracks to set the scene to music. And as we go mellow tonight, best to start with some music from MellowJet, where we have Ähnlich Sein by Elektrohandle. Best matching, as well, Stefan Erbe's Legacies. A bit more abstract then, with Fey by Opaeq. Pacing up a bit with Magickal Era's Evolution and Autism by The Depose. Another laid-back tune from AD music's new sampler, where we have The Kobolt Projekt in the show. And finally something a bit unexpected, Midnight Tracks by Walter Roos.

Yes, we're going folk tonight! Well, not really, but on this episode you will get some really nice tracks in the traditional electronic music style. But remember, it's the style not the sound, its children so to say, not its clones. And off we start with two Fellowes, F/R-F and their Structures of Paradise. We have a teaser on soon to come new music on Interstellarponic by Bouvetøya. Followed by a reminder on the Midnight Radio Compilation 22 with Joost Egelie. More teasing, this time for a live event on August 30th with TMA and friends, having a track from RAL 5002. And finally, another new album release by Realtime named Live in Cologne.

Life is fast, faster than ever. Sometimes it feels like gusts sweeping the hours away. Great to have some place to find cover, to hide from time storming over your head. So wonderful to have sounds of serenity to ease ones mind. Like the tracks in tonight's edition, where we start with North Hive and their album Immersion. Then we have Alobar's In a Snowbound Land. From the Ambient Music Facebook compilation we have Rob Cosh's contribution. A bit surprising comes a track ba Jerome Froese from his Cases of Recurrence. Not so surprising a wonderful piece by Steve Roach and his new album The Delicate Forever. And closing with a real treat from Blau by Lutz Thuns.

Must be April again with all the weather going bananas. At least, the real EM fans stay loyal organizing the 7th installment of the Electronic Circus in Gütersloh on October 4. And so we start tonight's edition with two tracks of Circus acts, first by Alerick Project from their album One Way and second Jerome Froese with his friends known as Loom from their album The Tree Hates the Forest. So, yeah, cool stuff coming up in about 6 weeks. Of course, there is more on the roster. Like Elrox with his latest album Lucent Echoes. Then we have a teaser for the upcoming re-release of Shadow of the Wind by Bekki Williams. Also, the new compilation from Midnight Radio number 24 is in with the contribution by Jesper Sorensen. And our closer is an old friend, Mikael Fyrek with A Thousand Years and One.

So what is it that makes an event attractive? Is it the big names? Is it the atmosphere? Is it the people? Well, the Electronic Circus has it all and, additionally, always nice surprises. On tonight's playlist, two more tracks teasing for the pleasing. First, by Vile Electrodes from The Future Through a Lens, and second, Bernd Kistenmacher calling for Utopia. And both live on stage at October 4th in Gütersloh. But there is more great music on, like a track by VAD from his latest album. And then we have a goodie from last century, Bronx Shadows by Paul Lawler. And the final magnificent treat comes from Sundown Cafe who just release their second collaboration album Sunset Reverie.

Plenty of new and coming releases to make an edition of, so here it is. A nice mix of decent electronic music to be heard, so simply put on your headphones and lean back. On this show, the new album by Erren, Fleissig, Schöttler, and Steffen named Night on Ouddorp. We have Beyond the Airwaves Volume 1, the freshly released album by David Wright. One of the many tracks of the new Schallwende compilation Schallplatte 16, with music by Thomas Jung. Also new, Songs from the Deep Field by Darshan Ambient. Not stopping here, giving a track by Iotronica and her new album Of Moons and Stars. Closing with another sampler, Core of Pleasure with the contribution by Jakub Fijak.

The issue with playing ambient tracks on a not so long podcast is, well, it is not so long. It's difficult to keep the beauty of those tracks with the need to shorten to reasonable air-time length. But on the other side, I do not want to give away the whole tracks either. If you enjoy and like the music, the best is to get hold of the according album as linked in the playlist below. And some of those are for free, too. So take a listen and do not hesitate to fetch your copy. Like one of the Ambient Music Facebook Group Compilation of September 2014, represented by Infinite Third tonight. Then there is Nyul with his album When the Path Fades. A new Dirk Serries coming up named The Original Reversal. You get to hear from Aloft by the Nirgoona Project. And a double feature from Meditaions Vol. 1 by Salt of the Sound follows next. A new EP named Murmurist is on by UK artist Hanetration. And finally, brand new stuff by Shane Morris and Mystified from Evolution. Dive deep into emotions.

Hope you don't mind me starting with a plug for the Electronic Circus tonight, because these guys are really awesome. And so are the acts, not at all categorizable as traditional electronic music only, but being a junction of synth-pop, progressive rock and electronica, and more. So, best join in at October 4th in Gütersloh for great modern music in an exclusive environment. Check out this episode to find samples of three participating acts: Vile Electrodes, Alerick Project, and Jerome Froese. Will be great to see you at the event.
Of course, tonight's show is not restricted to Circus music. After the plug, you will find more very cool music. Like Mozee und SundB's Idoka. Music from the upcoming Moodwheel EP. And a fine track from Asylum Sneaker by Room of Wires.

As we learn from physics nowadays, time is relative. And while 30 minutes seem a relatively short amount of time, it may offer a whole universe to you. Like tonight's show, serving about half an hour of gourmet music. It all starts with the upcoming release by Erik Wøllo and Bernhard Wöstheinrich named Weltenuhr. Then we have something you Oughta See from the audio table of General Fuzz. Of course, we have the brand new EP Direction Green by Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder on our playlist. You will get Corel Cave's Panorama tonight. And fade out with a track from the new Midnight Radio Compilation number 26 by Corvus Makuro Project.

Did I ever mention to have grown up in a time where there was no Internet? Well, there wasn't any. I did a podcast back then, though. It wasn't called podcast, of course, it was some kind of radio on tape and had to spin some vinyls for recording it. Now, what the heck are "tapes", you may wonder. Boy, where would I go explaining all this? Ok, simply ignore me jibbering and let's go "spinning" some mp3s which might chill you or fuel you. We literally start off with Mark P. Adler and Let Me Fly. Going over to Antipodes by a wonderful trio named Cirrusaka. The we have Memories by Sub.Made. Right before meeting a track by Gus Till from Ghosts of the Earth. We get some of the best of Colonial Blend Extra Bold by Voodoo Tapes (see, tapes are still known). Then spicing it up with Tangerine Tom and his contribution to the Midnight Radio Compilation 26. Finally, at the late minute we go to The Inhabited Worlds with the herbal mind of Cao Sao Vang. Have a good taste.

Autumn is Summer! At least, when it comes to events in electronic music. We just had the fantastic Electronic Circus, next week there is E-Live (rumors say, they still have some tickets left, btw.) and in about two weeks, on October 25th, Pyramid Peak and BKS will be on stage in the Dechenhöhle, Iserlohn. Hence, there will be some music by both trios to give tonight's show the right start. That is Pyramid Peak with Anatomy and Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder with The Annazaal Tapes. Well, apart from this plug, more great follows. Like Baskyl and Enter Infinity. A re-release by Peter Mergener of his Passage in Time. The brand new Bochum Sky by Steve Baltes. And a nice reminder of Vanderson's album Another Day in Future. Well spend time tonight.

I know, I know, it's bits and beats again tonight, but I could not help myself for being on the road tomorrow on my way to E-Live. So no sleepy music, and a bunch of crazyness in there as well. The show goes straight off with trance-ish Vortex Elements presenting a Transmission. We then have Continuity by Cirqut. Of course, having some DaoLogic giving the Groove Command. And then we have the great Plus by Drehton. We surely are up for the lastest Weldroid pleaser with Silicate Garden. Fading out with Part of the Industry by well known Stockman.

Sound's fantastic on: http://www.syndae.de/episodes/631-episode-275
