• Holy sequencing

    It's been more than 20 years ago now that I've been living in Berlin. And while I seldom look or go back physically, maybe for a short visit now and then, I often do so in my mind. Especially, when listening to music from the Golden Age of EM, where many of the artists being in synthesized sounds "went" to its School. There are still several artists from the old guard out there, some still producing new music. But many of the space ambient style music nowadays comes from a younger folks. And their take on Berlin style sounds, while surely referencing the ideas of the past, are fresh and current and also timeless. Join me for a mental visit to Berlin with great music by NGC 224 (Mystic Forests), Novaexperiment (Quantum Pulse), Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen (Unfolding Skies), Joerg Dankert (Back to Berlin), Paul Ellis (Room Of The Lost One), IcingWolf (Crossroads), Ivan Black (Black 3), Small Chief (Zero Movement).

     

Sounds to the board

Episode 757

So this is the last show before the Schallwelle awards ceremony, which happens to be tomorrow. So on Sunday we will know who the jury and the audience voted for best of their class in 2024. And while we celebrate all the good moments of the past, we look forward with going back to the future. That is traditional style electronic music being on in this edition, where we find space ambient or Berlin School inspired music par excellence. Join me for a cool and mostly sequential ride with tracks by Thaneco (Cosmic Atlas), Krakenkraft (Suspicious Signals), Matthias Lehmann (Winter Saga), Colin Rayment (Penumbra), Ivan Black (Dancing With The Stars), Levente (The Ray Bradbury Chronicles), Abstract Rituals (II), EL-KA (La Rêve), Hello Mr. Klaus (The Fairy of the Cyclical Journey).
