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).
On tonight's show I welcome Norways very own master of Synthesizers, Glenn Main Henriksen, simplier known as Glenn. An artist and interview special giving you some nice background information on Glenn and his musical career, as well as very nice tracks of his.
New and revisited albums on tonight's show, fulfilling secret dreams and offering melanphoric voyages to electronic places in space. Sounds weird? No, sounds good! Let me seduce you for another time to a joyful ride of melodic electronica on tonight's episode. With marvellous tracks by Blackberry, electron7, Implexy, and Michael Shipway.
It's time for some new albums and EPs to be released and heard. As always spiced, with cool tracks to be found on the world wide net, and tonight with quite some "easter eggs" of the wishful kind. Enjoy tonight's show with tracks by Curious Egg, Landosonic, Livingstone, M. Peck, Michael Brückner, and Paul Ellis.
Space and time are quite two common topic in electronic music. In a few weeks, a new festival will take place, that makes space-time the theme of the day. Consequently, the event is called "Raumzeit". On tonight's show you'll get the impression of four of the artists playing live at the festival, namely BatteryDead, MaEasy, Matzumi, and Stefan Erbe. It's still enough time (sic!) to make plans to visit the event, its entry is free of charge! And to round off this episode, we have some very nice tracks from 2011 releases by Visible Breath and Weldroid.
More information about the Raumzeit Festival at empulsiv magazine (German).
So summer in Europe was reduced to one day this year. Well, saves quite some money and energy for all the ventilation systems. Maybe, syndae has helped as well by producing so many relaxing shows lately. Tonight's edition is no big excempt, as we're onto some more traditional and slightly progessive sounds. Nice stuff all over the show, at least so it is to me. Let me know what you think about it, give comments ... if you like, of course. But first, get some wonderful tracks by Harald Nies, Kikai, Ringhausen, Ensamble Circular, Xenoton, Sotra, and Sternenspringer.
