• 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).

     

Embracing the future

Episode 243

From what I can tell, 2014 will be another year with a lot of great new releases in electronic music. But, of course, we don't want to miss out recent releases over what's coming up. So we start with a piece of Utopia, the letest album by Bernd Kistenmacher. Like last year, Denovali will organize some festivals again, and to get a taste of what's up at Denovali, we have two tracks of their free Nordic Lake Sounds Vol. V compilation by Talvihorros and Origamibiro. A really cool release is due in a few weeks and we have a teaser on the show: Node 2 is announced and nearly ready to be shipped. More new stuff, the EP Pictures of an Indian Summer by Rewo, which unfortunatly is no longer available (you should ask Rene for it though). And we close the show with two more tracks from the Radio Happy Music compilation, go get it if you don't have it, which are by John Christian and Magnetron. Both also musical acts on the upcoming Radio Happy Event edition 2 this summer. Have a good ride.
