Had enough of the worldly turmoil? Want to relax and peace out for a while? Welcome to the show! And it is free, too. No costs. No tariffs. Just cool stuff to spend one our of your time on and enjoy. Some people may call it chill out. One could also call it thrill out. Or simply taking a bath in the wonderful world of electronic sounds. Yeah. I might sound a bit crazy tonight, but the world outside does take its toll. My mind would go havoc, if it weren't for my wife and great music. Join me, won't you? Let's relish the excellent works by Thomas Lemmer & Oine & Electrix (Berlin), Stan Dart (Murinsel 7 - Travel Stories), Star Maze and Deor (Echoes of the Grid), Dieter Spears (The Signal), Howler (Breenj), Steve Joy (Hatchback), Ndorfik (Solos), ADJ (Compilation 2025 - Nenormalizm + NOIR), No Landscape Survives (Ten Banners of Defeat).

While there are storms happening in the economic world, we gear down a lot and go for some serenity in this edition. Wouldn't it be nice to have humans be united and care for their kind and each other instead of looking for one's own advantage? Well, maybe not for some people. I don't know. Maybe life would be boring that way. I like boring, though. Na, not really. I prefer challenging sounds and musical journeys, for example. That's why there are no drones on syndae. To me, music has to have some kind of structure to it. Something that tickles my ears and my brain. Join me, won't you? For some cool ambient and related music by Erik Wøllo (Where the River Widens), Sine (Impuls), Level Pi (Elektronische Klänge), Cousin Silas & aka:man (Cousin Silas & aka:man), Orchestra Indigo (Hearing Visions), Loneward (Gossamer Wings of Illusion), Blue Is Nine (So Far from Home), Dino Pacifici (Beyond The Solar Influence), sevensy (one2one), Wellengärtner (Movements).

Up next week is April fools' day. Are you in for making fun of people? By definition, it is the day of the year where practical jokes take over and one gets targeted with pranks, which sometimes seem real or get very close to reality. For some country, 2025 may have started as a fool's year, and may stay so for some while (no orange bun intended). But I am not going into politics here. This is a place of joy and fun and should stay so for everyone. So, back to the start. Do you do pranks? Or know of good ones? If so, let me know in the comments. I am always up for a little joke, even I might not look like it. On the other hand, I really like cool and great and modern electronic music. And this is what you will get in tonight's editon with tracks by Urs Fuchs (Wolkenfee), Stefan Erbe (Metamorphosys), AeTopus (iota), Simon Heartfield (The State Of Social Movement), AMPTEK (Pianeta Ephedrina Volume Due), Grosso Gadgetto & Brainquake (Distorted Planet), Feralia Planitia (Hyperphantasmic), niteffect (aztec), Steve Joy (Hatchback), Tonewulf (The Heavy), B. Ashra & Ricky Deadking (Live at U-Site Fusion 99).

It's space time! Well, at least for most of tonight's edition, where we will visit some of the famous space ships produced on earth. Well, in film and literature that is. Are you a science fiction or fantasy fan? It's fascinating that people are so intrigued by the stars and the universe and maybe alien life forms, while we still do not know about many places on earth. And while we definitely are no species, someone would like to meet, are we? Now, before getting to dark or sinister, let's better focus on what we love, which is great ambient and electronic music. Some of those aural wonders you will get with music by Claude9 (Chords of Love). Stan Dart (Murinsel 7 - Travel Stories). Ambient Indigo, Time Away, Wane of Summer. Progeny-1, Ambient Light, Hellweed, Talking to Ghosts, Helsinki Project (Interstellar Engines), Ivan Black (Some Refugees From Suburbia).

Barely a week as gone since the Schallwelle awards were given to the winners in their respective categories. Tonight's edition focuses on the one's awarded. So you will get music by the best discovery for 2024, who is Betageist, the best artist national and international, who are Martin Stürtzer and Kebu, respectively, and the best albums national and international, which are 101, Milky Way by Klaus Schulze and Metamorphic Phases by Colin and Joe Rayment. And finally also the best ambient album voted for, which is Alpha I by State Azure. At the ceremonies, you could meet most of the awarded musicians as well as lots of well known guests, like Chris Bryant (S1gns of L1fe), Thorsten Q Quaeschning (Tangerine Dream), Harald Großkopf, Elektronische Maschine, Olaf Zimmermann (Lifetime award recipient), and many more. So definitely worth a visit. As this show is definitely worth a listen with music by BETAGEIST (Aria), Klaus Schulze (101, MILKY WAY), Kebu (Urban Dreams), State Azure (Alpha I), Colin Rayment with Joe Rayment (Metamorphic Phases), Martin Stürtzer (Phase Transform).

So this is the last show before the Schallwelle awards ceremony, which happens to be tomorrow. So on Sunday we will know who the jury and the audience voted for best of their class in 2024. And while we celebrate all the good moments of the past, we look forward with going back to the future. That is traditional style electronic music being on in this edition, where we find space ambient or Berlin School inspired music par excellence. Join me for a cool and mostly sequential ride with tracks by Thaneco (Cosmic Atlas), Krakenkraft (Suspicious Signals), Matthias Lehmann (Winter Saga), Colin Rayment (Penumbra), Ivan Black (Dancing With The Stars), Levente (The Ray Bradbury Chronicles), Abstract Rituals (II), EL-KA (La Rêve), Hello Mr. Klaus (The Fairy of the Cyclical Journey).

It's end of February, already two months into 2025, time for something compeletely different on syndae: song time. That is, music by ambient and electronic music artists going into lyrics or at least vocals. Yes, one of those rare editions with more than just me mumbling into the mic. The range of styles also is quite wide, some more into electro up to some experimental tracks. And I also use this occasion for some shameless self promotion of remixes done as Talking to Ghosts. Hope you don't mind and will enjoy this unusal treat. So, join me, won't you? For some cool music by Elektronische Maschine (Life goes on), Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate (The Uncertainty Principle), Arctic Sunrise vs Talking to Ghosts (Feelings Changing Hands), Stan Dart ft. Stephen Sherrard (Collaboration), Roberto Sass ft. Sara Brito (Cathedral of Lost Love), Time Away & AthinaNiki (In Between), Feralia Planitia (Hyperphantasmic), Baltes & Zäyn vs Talking to Ghosts (Augenlos, doch alles sehend), Pete International Airport (Sea of Eyes), Bernd Scholl ft. Jennifer Ezzeddine (Ship of Fools), MiDaMi (Longing).

After two rather soft sounding editions, tonight you will get some powerhouse stuff to massage your speaker membranes. Not all full edm, but a good measure of beats to tickle your ear drums. I cannot rule out that it's based to the fact that the current world politics infuse some aggressiveness to my thoughts. But pleasing those feelings by listening to music sounds not so wrong to me. At least it is a non violent treatment. I'd be happy if you join me to listen to still cool music, for any or no reason of course. Tonight's pleasure is brought to us by Cloudwarmer (Nostalgia For a Future That Never Happened), Ivan Black (I've Got Pictures), AutomatA (Bento), Frechbax (Knabaustelmann), Dan-X (Too late), Cixxx J (Hot Trax Vol. 2), Kultur M (Pianeta Ephedrina Volume Due), @beeashra & Ricky Deadking (@Alexander Rues) (Live at U-Site Fusion 99 (Remastered 2025)).
