• 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).

Episode 150 EC

Looking back at the Electronic Circus festival, which I and hundereds more were visiting on October 15th to enjoy a fabulous day in Die Weberei. A perfect location, and a perfect line up that turned out to be even better than expected. Glenn made a wonderful opener to the Circus, taking us back to the best years of Jarre transposed into the future. A total surprise to me, and actually my winner of that day, were Schroyder,Skrzek, and Alien Voices, who left me totally stunned wrt. their performance and musical greatness. Unfortunately, no recordings available yet, but I will surely see to put my hands on it. Wave world and Picture Palace music both did very fine performances, overall a magnificent mix of music from traditional to post-rock, spanning from relaxing music and totally getting pushed to ones electronic limits.

The Circus also was the birthplace for at least 17 new releases, some of which I will present on tonight's episode. Amongst these releases were albums by Alien Nature, F.D.Project, Kikai, Matzumi, René vd. Wouden, Synth.nl, Uwe Reckzeh, and Wellenfeld. Furthermore, we take an ear on the upcoming release by moonbooter and close with Stefan Erbe, introducing a soon to come event surely also top notch and available tickets.
