Time and again I go back to the style and sound that sparked my love for electronic music; that is back in the 1970s/1980s, the so called golden age for traditional EM. Back then, it was the greats like Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, Software, and others who gave me the thrills. I still enjoy their music, also the current songs they produce. But mostly it's the "younger" generation, I enjoy to have on the show nowadays. This edition is a mixture of both with older and newer blood in a mix. Join me for wonderful timeless sounds by F.D.Project (Look in the sky), Michael Stearns & Robert Rich (Reunion of Breath & Waves), Adam Filip (The Returning Circle), Peter Mergener (Keep on Dreaming), Michael Whalen (Standing Near Infinity), Deus Astra vs Time Away (Wheel of Time), Brainwork (Hypnos). @petermergener @deusastra-music @timeaway

The nice thing about recent hot weather is that undressing at the doctors gets easier. On the other hand, it's not so comfortable wearing soaking wet shirts and pants. Well, one should not complain, other endure worse. Still, extreme warmth is no fun for your body and brain, especially, if you are not used to it. Therefore, I took the opportunity to fetch some longer tracks for this edition, so I did not have to talk that much. Hehehe. But you are getting great music, if you join me, by the greats of Erik Wøllo (Snow Tides), Wahn vs Cognition Delay (Re: Echo Mist Light), Lambert (Keep on Dreaming), Carbonates On Mars (The Four States Of Matter: Liquid Volume 1), SoulSonic (IDM Selection volume 1), Harald Grosskopf (Glitches Brew), Martin Stürtzer (Starfields). @wahn @carbonates-on-mars @soulsonic @haraldgrosskopf @martinstuertzer

It's deep into summer, and we are out for the happy and exciting things in life. Well, speaking northern hemisphere. One of my favourite is being curious about new sounds and ways for aural journeys. For once, how regular guests are developing in their style and composition. And to discover new musicians, of course. Both to be found on this edition with the wonderful contributions by Parallel Worlds (Explorer), Andrew Schoen & Dieter Spears (Spitfire), Green Isac (Groundrush), Thaneco (Tau Zero), Stefan Erbe (Selectronisch Vol 4), Toffee Nut Orion (Dust Over Kora), Scintalekt (Retropolis), Slowblaster and Pink Your Planet (Durchströmungen 5 - Stromschnellen), Cinnabar Club (Alberich), execunit (Humanicide), Simon Heartfield (The End Of Science) @thaneco @scintalekt @cinnabarclub @execunit @simon-heartfield

Heat off, beat on! That's the general motto of this edition, where we come back to some more "robust" electronic music. Well, not the hardest version, but still. And it feels good to finally breathe normally and getting back to some movement. Some of the tracks on this show are waiting for a while, so great timing to have them finally on. Join in and enjoy some body work with beats by Jessie Marcella (11:11), Projekt Ich ft. Stian Shiver vs FragileChild (In the Fire), Wippe Roma vs Marc Henry (Saga), Alonique (AY AY AY), Jhãna (Rãga), Strange Fruit vs Jonathan Kusuma (Drips), Aus.Gleich vs Lunar Sunset Industries (Durchströmungen 5 - Stromschnellen), Lunar Sunset Industries (Durchströmungen 5 - Stromschnellen), Phil Rodriguez (Into the Sky), ASKARI (Lost), Blake Dailey (Penumbra), Steam Lizard (Love is the Cure). @jessiemarcella @stianshiver @projektich @fragilechild @marc-henry @alona-elichai @jhana-802040590 @jonathan-kusuma @ausgleich-sc @official_askari @blake_dailey

This is definitely too hot for my Chinchilla, to quote some greats in electronic music. I'm currently melting away in my studio, and if you were to put some cheese onto me, I would make a good bacon al forno. Hopefully Sunday will bring a change, as otherwise I cannot think straight anymore. Thus, we are not going too hot with this edition, where I have some easy listening and new agy stuff for you on the playlist. Have some relaxing moments with the music of Stefan Erbe (Best of - Selectronisch Vol 4), Progeny-1 vs Wane of Summer (Cania Remix), Michael Whalen (Standing Near Infinity), King Of Twilight (Echoes in Pink), Sundad (Way Station One), Dieter Spears (String Dreams), Marcator (Terra Incognita), Theresa Bentley & Dino Pacifici (Soft Winds), Urs Fuchs (Fly Lounge II), Thomas Lemmer (A Sky of Light, A Symphony Unfolding & Weightless in a Sea of Light), Parallel Worlds (Explorer). @progeny-1-617773258 @wane-of-summer @michael-whalen-997591802 @dieterspears @theresa-bentley-975409988 @ursfuchs @thomas-lemmer @parallel-worlds

There is a heatwave rolling up in Europe, and we can already feel it with nearly 35 C today. Which makes it a jump of about 15 degrees since last Friday. Such changes make me feel tired and worn out, so there is no place for beats on tonight's show to rock my body. We are back in space, with some of the most wonderful soundscapes to please our ears and minds. Join the ship for a spacey journey to places, where the force is still strong and soothing. A path aurally painted by Martin Stürtzer (Starfields), Ótal (Gjóta), Accasari (Crystalline), Andreas Rönnquist & rsn (within remoteness), SoulSonic (Ambient Works), Loneward (Mosaic: Singles Collection Volume 5), jarguna & Chris Russell (Wind of Dissonance), Grant Beasley (Universal Noise Systems). @soulsonic @jarguna @user-898369486-844899066

Whatever you expect, but there is definitively no soccer inside this podcast. Rather, tonight it's all about repeating patterns and sequences and soundscapes that represent the modern state of Berlin School and inspired music. This style always is intreaguing to me, as it is telling an emotional sound-story from start to end, which simply does not need any words spoken or sung. Quite some journey to experience first hand, without physical travel. Always great to relish the ride. So join in and travel with me and Erik Wøllo (Pandrone), Prgm (Raccolta), Steve Roach (LA ROSA - Live in Tucson), Uwe Rechzeh (The Architecture of Dreams), Martha Rabbit (Kosmotron), Ivan Black (Black 8), DASK Music (Quirky Human), Cells Interlinked (Cold Spring Notes). @progra_m @ivan-black @cellsinterlinkedproject

What is it like for you opening a new music album? What are you expecting? Things, you already know? Elements of surprise? Back in my youth it definitely was the latter, buying LPs by the cover and description, not knowing, what discoveries were to be made. It's quite similar still today, as I listen to so many new artists and releases. And I am more than often positively suprised by what I get to hear. As I am with all the music on tonight's edition, of course. Join in and enjoy the music by Madis (Ocean Rain), Michael Whalen (Standing Near Infinity), Harald Nies (Strange Matter), Dieter Spears (String Dreams), Conny Olivetti (Rhythm Machine), Rodrigo Passannanti (Timeless Conceptions), Kothyus (Parajes), Stephenson (Once Upon a Time), Simon Heartfield (Light Fades and Light Returns), Time Away vs Talking to Ghosts (Our Steps in the Dance). @rodrigopassannanti @kothyus @simon-heartfield @timeaway @talkingtoghosts

I need a chill! It's only May, but temperature's are reaching 30 C and above already. I hope you are with me on this chillout ride. I'd guess, several of those political jerks out there could need a chill and stop being jerks. Not going to happen? You might be right about that. So for the sake of my mind not boiling over and myself to calm down, there will be some cool and relaxing music on this edition with great sounds by ELEON (Artists Sampler Vol. 2), Polished Chrome (Music for Headphones), MubisMusic (HARSH YOGA), Tony Sieber (Tides of stillness), Martin Stürtzer (Closer to Home), Strange Fruit (Drips), David Wright (Invocations (live 2024)), Thomas Lemmer & Sinatic (Infinity), Generaction X (Buzz Cuts Vol. 2), Aaron Smith ft. IndiBlu (Higher). @eleonsound @bsibum @polishedchrome @strangefruit75159 @user-192177581 @thomas-lemmer @sinatic @aaron-smith-official

If there is one instrument for electronic music that is cult, this is it: The Roland TR-808. The percussive foundation for many styles, starting with Electro, Hip-Hop, House, and also diving hard into popular music as well. So, here is an hommage to the legend in drum sounds with show number 808. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions on songs, especially via social channels. I cannot guarantee, all the tracks use the original TR-808, but its the spirit, right? Well, join in for some really cool tracks from, I think, artists never heard on syndae before. Cool sounds you get by Aphex Twin (Selected Ambient Works 85-92), Ryuichi Sakamoto (B-2 Unit), Underground Resistance vs Nomadico (The Final Frontier (Remix)), Professor X (StatiX), Drexciya (Neptune's Lair), Hashim (Electro Compiled by Joey Negro), Cybotron (Clear), The Egyptian Lover (1983-1988), Dynamik Bass System (The Mighty Machine), New Order (Confusion). @richarddjames @n0madic0 @cybotron-official @dynamikbasssystem @neworderofficial
