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).
Touching the area of dubby, experimental, and ambient music on tonight's episode, you're welcome to join me on a journey in the outer regions of electronic based music as you usually hear on syndae. On the playlist tonight, tracks by Ambient Circle, Julian Ray, Marco Havnin, MetanoiaX, Michael Hoffmann, and Mystified.
It was just last year, when a younger electronic musician gained momentum and got known in the EM scene. Meanwhile, he not only had a fabulous gig on the great german Electronic Circus festival, but also won the Schallwelle award as outstanding Newcomer 2009. And, as important, he became a new born daddy recently. As of June, his new album is out, actually the first pressed album of his. All of this seemed amazing enough to get a little more information of this guy, resulting in tonight's special episode having an interview with dutch artist Meesha.

An episode packed with brand new stuff tonight, so join in for a still quite chilling and relaxing show number 94. On tonight's agenda, listen to beautiful tracks by Alpha Lyra, Bernd Kistenmacher, ebia, Steve Roach, and Wim. Plus, get to know about a special offer on the 10th anniversary of "The Cult of: Bibbiboo" by centrozoon.
When twenty highly talented current electronic music artists join forces, something really amazing can come to existence. Last week, it was a collective of ambient musicians, this time, it's members of a portal sharing the very same enthusiasm and passion for the EM genre. And the result became a double album containing exclusive and outstanding tracks, some of which has been presented on syndae already. Tonight, you get an extra large special on the very album, presenting music by AEM, Arróniz, Chromengel, François-Pol Cornec, Mac of BIOnighT, Na-Koja-Abad, Peter Tedstone, Polaris, and Seren Ffordd.
