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).
Time to close 2010. But before going over to the holy time, we go for some cool new stuff being released in the final month of this year. Volume 1 of tonight's episode starts with rather progressive electronica, enjoy a show with tracks by Axess, Brainwork, Going after Zen, Nattefrost, Projekt Gamma & Erich Schauder, Steen Jorgensen, and Stefan Erbe.
It's always a pleasure to have musical heros on the show, and tonight is one such show. I welcome Erik Seifert as interview guest on this episode, giving you insight information on the man, what drives him, and details about his music.
Back for a new week, and here comes the wake up edition of episode 111. Embrace the power of the beats and refuel your bio-battery to stand whatever the week may bring. Energetic rythmic music in a half hour continuous mix with tracks by the New Age Hippies, David Leckenby, Element 4, 6884, Huunter and Harald Grosskopf.
Weekend is next, great to be there. And happy to present another two volume episode for your pleasure. Tonight, we start off with the "week's end" edition, having music to relax and chill out, to let go the week's tension and enter a state of equilibrium. On the menu tonight, tracks by Alien Nature & TMA, Bekki Williams, Canartic, DarshanAmbient, Food for Fantasy, pattysplanet, and RamsayGee.
Gentle fingers dancing on the keys tonight. Having yet another interview special on syndae, this time with EM grande Bernd Kistenmacher.

Many things are different, and you will get to know Bernd's opinions and impressions on these changes as well as interesting insights and information on his upcoming symposia on November 27 and December 4.
