Nature is a great invention. Well, not really an invention. But it's great. Especially in autumn, when the forests turn so colourful, all the mushrooms sprouting, everything living in harmony. Ok, nearly everything. But humans. Be it crazy election campaigns. Be it trashing trust in Open Source. Be it fighting and killing others. Now, maybe those things are not really comparable, but they all showcase the stupidity of human kind. And now think about our so called intelligent race being on earth for several thousand years. If you were an alien from outer space, would you be eager to show up and befriend us? Hum, do I sound erratic? Well, let's turn to something more comfy and beautiful: new age and electronic music. A real feast for one's ears I have for you with music by Max Schiefele (Waldgeist), Larkenlyre (Dragonfly Halfdreams), Bernd Scholl (An Evening in The Cave Live), Rodrigo Passannanti (Forgotten Worlds), Suriya (Schallplatte 27: Mythologie), Sam Wilkes (iiyo iiyo iiyo), John Gregorius (Communion), Rena Jones & KiloWatts (Caesura), Holland Phillips (A Sense of Distance), Wane of Summer (Spine of Destiny), Ivan Black (I Can See Another Time).

Since several years now I purchase energy from a supplier of ecological renewable sources. Those are windmills (which,some strange guy claims, kill whales), solar plants, hydropower stations, and so forth. It's a funny thought that they direct electrons from only those sources to my home, which, of course, they don't. It's only they add energy from those sources to the pool and I pick any energy from that pool. If you ask me what's my point on telling you this, the answer is I don't have a point. I just found it curious. And especially, that some people think, over here in Germany we are re-empowering fossil fuels and nuclear power. Plain rubbish. Well, ok, as I said no point. At least none other than on this edition you will find great music full of sequential energy served by Time Away (Chasing Angels), Erik Wøllo (Solastalgia), Paul Ellis & Per Thomhav (Orpheus), Gandalf (A Light from Afar), Gunnar Spardel and Jim Ottaway (Schallplatte 27 - Mythologie), Caught In Joy (Gemstones V), Michael Brückner (The Android Tales (Volume 1)).

Why do people tend to put their power and energy into making the world a worse place for others and nature then before? Is it a tendency for self destruction of humanity or simple stupidity? I prefer to put forward with positive motions. Supportive behaviour and making others feel better seems much more beneficial than blaming others for one's unfortunate situation. Stumping on the weak, because it is so easy, does not help yourself in any way but making you seemingly look strong. You are not! So I only hope I can make someone's day a bit brighter with the music I present on this podcast. And I have great music on tonight with new and upcoming sounds by Axess/Maxxess (SLEEP), AE van Elst Projects (TWO), Gabriel Le Mar (Light of Unity), Paul Ellis & Per Thomhav (Orpheus), Rena Jones & KiloWatts (Caesura), Pete International Airport (Sea of Eyes), snurretop (Mizzt), Cartas de Japón (Gemstones V), Max Schiefele (Waldgeist).

Well, here I am again relishing the final days of my vacation, it's the final one for this year. So I thought what better to have than some ambient and relaxing sounds to accompany my fleeting thoughts on the rest I got these days. It's amazing what sitting there and watching the timeless sea pounding softly at the beach does to your mind. It actually raises your senses to relish and experience the environment more strongly. So tonight we will hear music that goes very well with such occasions of solitude and serenity. Or, well, sometimes it will also push your mind to other states. Join in for some great music by TOKEE (Альбатрос Remixes), Craig Padilla & Zero Ohms (To Sleep On Stellar Winds), Sonic Bodhi (Chasing Angels), Carl Lord (Weightless), Ian Craig (Quadrants 2 - Part 1), City of Dawn & Ross Christopher (Empty Rooms), Time Being (Hidden Structures), René van der Wouden (The Magnetic Reconnection).

So we had some great time last weekend at the Electronic Circus festival. Many cool artists and more cool guests and friends to meet. Lemgo is a lovely little town, btw. So all in all a fantastic event. Now, there are more concerts and festivals coming up, so look out for your chance to listen to live electronic music. Meanwhile, after such an exhausting weekend and week, it is time for some relax session. So this edition is packed with more chill out and related sounds to ease one's mind and get lost in rhythmic dreams. Join in for some really cool sounds by Bluetech (Spacehop Chronicles 2: The Black Sky), Gerry Joe Weise (Walk Around the Beat: A Blues Breaking Records Sampler), PearFinch (BC Catalogue II (2022-2024)), 鈍打uncertified -(大阪小旅行), midnight première (Private Passion), Pabellón Sintético & Lucas Tripaldi (Last Call), Cousin Silas & Øystein Q Jørgensen (From Another Place), Fascinating Earthbound Objects (Netlabel Day 2023), Džiunglių Dvasios (Cyber Jazz), db-maui (Die Sterne und das Unicorn).

Late summer and early autumn are definitely a gift for fans in electronic music. So many concerts and events to choose from, or maybe visit all of them? Well, my timely resources are limited, so I'll be at the Electronic Circus tomorrow. More, I don't know yet. But it's definitely great to have cool live electronic music available and, of course, meet lots of fans and artists on that occasion. For two more such events you will get teasers in this edition. One for the big and well known E-Live in October. And another one for a smaller but great event at the Planetarium Bochum end of this month. Not only teasers, but also fresh and newly released sounds are up. So best to join me for music by Bernd Scholl (Clear Night), Orghanon (Future in Motion), Frank Van Bogaert (One Out Of Five), Sonic Transients (The Rhoen Tapes), David Wright (Fade), Ivan Black (Slow Burning Stars), DF Tram & Future BC (Future Horizons: Harmonic Reflections), Baltes & Erbe (Four Stories).

Do you suffer from massive amounts of roadwork as well? It's amazing what is happening on the streets recently. Even a major highway is closed for month due to necessary works on roads and bridges. And it's hot, too. The weather I mean. Which surely gives road workers quite some stress. Aside from the annoyed and swearing drivers passing by. So, for no good reason we well do some body work as well on tonight's edition of syndae. Of course, always trying to hit the sweet spot somehow. What's not to like about good beats with interesting sounds? Join in for cool examples by AKUSMATiC (Angular Momentum), Backstage Gurus (Future Horizons), Firnwald ft. Thomas Kraus (Gadgetbag 2 [Refill + Remix]), Nicorus (Yuna), Rayo Hunters (Peyote (Remix)), Bjar (Nieuwe Electronische Waar 17), Mental Health Consumer & Justin Credible (This is Not That Universe), TieFenRauSch (Netlabel Day 2024 Techno Warriors), Elysian Underground (Love Only), Six Umbrellas (Metropolis).

So, last week I teased about the upcoming Electronic Circus festival, which surely is quite a happening over here in Germany. On the other hand, I nearly forgot about the also cool, maybe smaller festival in the Netherlands next weekend, August 31st. It's the Dutch Electronic Masters happening in Best. Thus, tonight you will get some teasers for this fine event, and maybe, if you live nearby, you will be abler to attend it as well. But there is more music on this show, of course, which comes from new and recent releases. Electronic music is still very much alive, as you will hear. And these releases never cease to amaze with new ideas and takes on this wonderful kind of music. Join me for some exciting 60 minutes of goodness brought to you by René van der Wouden (The Magnetic Reconnection), Skoulaman (Mundus in Motu), Tectonia (Anatomy of The Positronic Brain), Divine Matrix (Dark Machine), Ian Boddy (25 Years of DiN), Point Surrender (Mark II), Udo Hanten & Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock (Live in Belgium)
