Where foot meets floor

Episode 471

Since about two weeks the weather is quite pounding in my area, accompanied by quite some rain. Additionally, our dihswasher is doing a constant rhythm one could dance to. Clearly, two forcing signs to have some more beats on the show. And here we go with danceable tracks that may as well be played in a disco or party. It's been a while to visit these more popular region of electronic music, but nevertheless a very interesting one when listening to the details. Have some time off and enjoy the tracks by RCDO (Dawnlights), Lampé (Between the Worlds), Hardcore Buddhist (Altered Perceptions Vol. 1), Sebon (Featuring the Advocates), Fluffy Inside (Fluffy Inside), Kalumet (Kahnua).

Silence to be heard

Episode 470

And here I have a new ambient edition! Very interesting new artists on this one, again, serving various flavours of this musical genre. Interesting enough that it somewhat started out as environmental music (actually called "furniture music" in its very early days). And despite many rumors, it's not only meant to run in the background but may be listened to consciously. Well, in the end it's up to you whether you like to have it accompany you or take your full attention. Have your choice with the tracks by Luis Mielich (Koyomi Outtakes), Carbon Entity (Within the Cosmic Void), Forrest Fang (The Fata Morgana Dream), Julien Ross (Retrospective), and Troy Ramos (Sound Space).

With warmest strains

Episode 469

Well, I think this was the warmest end of February week I've ever had in my life. I know, it may be ludicrus for southern hemisphere people, but 21C is not normal for this time of year where I live. And even hotter is the music that comes in these days. Excellent and outstanding electronic music being published, some of which is on tonight's show. And this is kind of the best thing in my view running this podcast: getting to hear this great music and being able to share it with you. Well, before I babble to much, better to tune into the show and listen to the fantastic tracks by d'Voxx (Télégraphe), Stefan Erbe (Reflect+), Soundstrokes (Soundstrokes), Harald Nies (Fractal), Pan Electric (Step Out), and Kevin Keller (Ice Worlds).

Find your balance

Episode 468

There we are, another week has taken it's way to the past. And what a week it was starting with a brand new challenge at work and some cool musical stuff as well. Which makes me aware it is good time to find a counterpoint in compiling tracks for this edition. And while life turns out to be quite progressive lately, we go back to the future with some traditional EM inspired modern pieces. And of course, you will get them in quite some extensive lengths, if available. So best to tune in right now to have a wonderful evening with Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen (Toward the Horizon), Arpegiator (Finding Balance), TM Solver (Delay Line), and Ebia (Transmission).

Phase out activity

Episode 467

Relaxed but not too quiet, that's the motto for tonight. This was one exciting week, and for the weekend, I need to gear down a bit. Not too much, of course, not to oversleep all days to monday. It's about the right mix of hot and cool, of speed and serenity, and I think this one will do very well. How do you quieten after a busy week? Music? Walking? Reading? Let me know by mail, as comment on facebook or on mixcloud. To me, these tracks do the trick tonight Barby (Anaconda), The Dream Makers (Vanishing Waves), Jason Rice (Escapism), Spatialize (Beyond the Radar), Pandacetamol vs 4T Thieves (Dot), Easily Embarrassed (Cosmic Duality).

Dilating the comfort zone

Episode 466

The nice thing about running a podcast on your own is that it's me alone deciding upon what tracks to play on the show. And I am quite sure you listeners like to check out about boundaries, not so common music, sometimes not even pleasant to listen to in the first moment. Well, tonight's such a night, although i can assure you no being to harsh in my choices. Actually, I quite liked all the albums you will hear about. They broaden my listening habits, may put me out of my comfort zone for a moment, but on the other hand surprise me with new details in sounds. I hope you will enjoy the music as well having tracks by Massimo Discepoli (The Right Place on the Wrong Map), DDO (Sins, Prays & Self-Punishment), Sami Konzo (Kitchen), Tacit Blue (Abandon), aAirial (Wanderings), and TT-ram & Lutz Thuns (Delusion).

Flakes of music

Episode 465

More snow! And this tie it was my wife and I who had to do the shovelling. It was by far not as bad as in the US, neither in amount nor temperature, but cold enough to make you shovel faster. Worse than handling the shovel is the public service being late, so one has to slide the roads instead of driving. And, of course, it's all the other drivers who can't drive a car in such weather, he he. These are the days one is really happy coming to a warm and pleasant home. And I hope you will feel the same with tonight's episode, featuring hoely tracks by Cat Friendly (Mirrors of the Sun), Solace Road (Solace Road), Mark Dorricott & Stan Dart (Seaside), Psyonysus (Interbeing), Andy Pickford (Objects & Expressions 3), and Spatialize (Beyond the Radar).

It's snowing sequences

Episode 464

Snow! Well, kind of. Actually, not really, maybe less then 1 cm of white powder that covered the area this week. But, of course, people were eager to shovel it away. Ugh, how could this happen? Snow. In winter! Lucky me for having a garage. No need to scratch the windows. It's still cold and the air-conditioner needs its time. And a weather to drive carefully. Not because of the itsy bitsy layer of snow, but because of the overy careful drivers on the road. Good to have some nice music in the player, like tracks by Alphaform (Escapism), Menzman & Friends (Insights), Arpegiator (The Polar Response), and MTA Lab (Autumn).

Take a deep breath

Episode 463

Something I really did not miss during vacation is the ride to and from work. It's nothing spectacular, really, but I am always amazed how people seem so in a hurry. Changing lanes like chords in a rock song, speeding and taking over to gain another four metres to the "combatant" drivers. Only to later meet up at the next traffic light. With all this hectic world outside, time and again it is nice to dive into something peaceful. Like the ambient tracks which are on tonight's playlist by Seifert & Steinbüchel (Abandoned Places), NoizeFilter (Absolute Zero), Erik Wøllo (Infinite Moments), DesuExSounds (Soundsphere 9 / Compilation), Adeptus Mechanicus (In an Open Field), and Kryshe (Hauch).
