To the end of the year in volume 2 we visit the darker and more experimental areas of electronic music. Especially well suited to expand ones own fantastic mental worlds. Therefore, have a wonderful nightly fun with this episode and tracks by Apectee, Bernhard Wöstheinrich, Gliese 614, Martin Lowack, Nunun, and We are Creosote.

It's the time of the year again, where many people celebrate the religious happening named christmas and the step over into another year. As in the past two years, syndae has a special episode on christmas, presenting own compositions and interpretations of seasonal songs by EM artists especially composed or selected for this show. This time, an episode in two editions. Having about one hour music in the family edition, which surely is a nice play for a contemplative time with family and friends. Accompanied by a mature edition of more than 30 minutes, obviously not to be given to those of sensitive nature. Overall, a lot of exceptional tracks kindly contributed by Alien Nature, Brainwork, Erik Seifert, F.D.Project, Gert Emmens & Cadenced Haven, Glenn Main, Guido Negraszus, Intelligentsia, Mari Aura (by Xenoton), Matzumi, moonbooter, Nadim Haque, Paul Nagle, Rüdiger Gleisberg, Synth.nl, The Great Schizm, and TMA.

It's early 2011, and we take a look back at 2010. One of the most successful and impressive EM festivals in Germany has been the Electronic Circus of last year. Great artists, great atmosphere, and lots of fun. This two volume episode gives you excerpts of live recordings as well as of the just released interviews done at the Circus. Of course, lots of music, and in volume one you will get tracks by Computerchemist, Deep Imagination, Harald Grosskopf & Udo Hanten, MorPheuSz, and Nattefrost.

Continuing with re-viewing the Electronic Circus. In volume 2 of this episode we take a listen to the main act of 2010, Spyra & Lang, with two temendous tracks. But also get to know about a label and artists new to the Circus, and new to Germany, with Mirai from England and Glenn from Norway.

There and back again at: http://www.syndae.de/episodes/342-episode-115v2

Fluent grooves in rhythm and bass, unwinding patterns that get you moving. On tonight's episode, you will get a continuous driving atmosphere, hopefully helpful to wind down from the weeks exhaustion. Marvellous dubby tracks on this show by Das Kraftfuttermischwerk, EugeneKha, MetanoiaX, Para, and Taschenrechnermusikant.

Life can be tough sometimes, great if artists like the Ambient Collective care and put out a release for charity. And with some great tracks, too, of course. Three of these you'll get on this show, by Bluejooz, Braindouche!, and Greg Plummer. But there is more to this chill out episode: new faces at syndae with Rieg from Norway and Parseque from Germany. And a wonderful quiet track completing the relaxing moments of tonight's show by René van der Wouden.

What an exhausting week! So many projects, so much work to be done, and soon no time is left in the week's wallet. Time to get some rest and leave it all behind, at least for 30 minutes of joyful and easing sounds that still have some drive to pick one up and take you into some mind opening space. Get caught by tonight's episode presenting contemporary electronic music by Dead Beat Project, Altus & Trx, moonbooter, and G.R.O.K.

We had some nice driving episodes lately, and I thought to give it another go. This time returning to the classic style of electronic music, giving you a hand full of sequencing maniacs. The wonderful thing about sequences in music is that they drive your mind and chill you out equally, so these are 30 minutes to have a great and joyful time. On tonight's show, you will get electronified by ARC, Create, Fanger & Kersten, Gert Emmens, and Paul Ellis.

Remember people often refering to the "good old days"? Well, depending on what you do nowadays, many things have change to better. For example, when connecting to others from all over the world and especially getting to listen to the pearls, the masterly pieces of music in our genre, created so remotely and distributed on earth. And for me, to being able to produce a tiny little show to present this music nearly effortless to you lot via Internet. So on tonight's episode, we'll celebrate this world-wide closeness a little, joined musically wise by David Helpling & Jon Jenkins, Gert Blokzijl, LastEDEN, Moognase, Synth.NL, and You!

Watching the sky at this time of the year, clouds are quite domionant. Sometimes, they look smooth and cosy, sometimes they get dark and rough. For tonight's episode, we stick to their floating. About thirty minutes of ambient style music that has some peaceful and cosy beginning, but turning slightly angular and noisy to the end. A journey with changing weather so to say. Enjoy tonight's fleecy clouds with tracks by Appolonious & 33 Tetragammon, Cousin Silas, Dense Vision Shrine, Javi Canovas, John Daly, and Wounds.

This is the first of a loose series of specials featuring music by selected electronic music labels. With this series I hope to introduce you even more to the wide range of styles and activities in EM, and where to look for what kind of music. The first label we focus on tonight is also a premiere to syndae. It's homebase is Chemnitz and the label is named Raster-Noton. Their releases range from ambient to experimental electronica, and, of course, this episode only presents a small excerpt of their portfolio. Tracks on tonight's show are by Atom TM, Fennesz, Frank Bretschneider, Kangding Ray, Mark Fell, Nibo, and SND.

Music is a difficult business and I think the biggest reward for artists is the acknowledgement of ones work by the audience. Last weekend, the german Schallwelle awards 2011 were presented to the best acts and albums of 2010 in the (traditional) electronic music genre. This genre surely builds the root and base of syndae podcast, looking back to its beginning, hence, who wouldn't expect me to celebrate the award's winners? Well, here it comes with Klaus Schulze, Matzumi, MorPheuSz, and Picture Palace music. Plus the top act of the ceremonies concerts, Robert Schroeder.
