Sound's fantastic

Episode 275

I know, I know, it's bits and beats again tonight, but I could not help myself for being on the road tomorrow on my way to E-Live. So no sleepy music, and a bunch of crazyness in there as well. The show goes straight off with trance-ish Vortex Elements presenting a Transmission. We then have Continuity by Cirqut. Of course, having some DaoLogic giving the Groove Command. And then we have the great Plus by Drehton. We surely are up for the lastest Weldroid pleaser with Silicate Garden. Fading out with Part of the Industry by well known Stockman.

Driving the waves

Episode 274

Autumn is Summer! At least, when it comes to events in electronic music. We just had the fantastic Electronic Circus, next week there is E-Live (rumors say, they still have some tickets left, btw.) and in about two weeks, on October 25th, Pyramid Peak and BKS will be on stage in the Dechenhöhle, Iserlohn. Hence, there will be some music by both trios to give tonight's show the right start. That is Pyramid Peak with Anatomy and Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder with The Annazaal Tapes. Well, apart from this plug, more great follows. Like Baskyl and Enter Infinity. A re-release by Peter Mergener of his Passage in Time. The brand new Bochum Sky by Steve Baltes. And a nice reminder of Vanderson's album Another Day in Future. Well spend time tonight.

Turning Tables

Episode 273

Did I ever mention to have grown up in a time where there was no Internet? Well, there wasn't any. I did a podcast back then, though. It wasn't called podcast, of course, it was some kind of radio on tape and had to spin some vinyls for recording it. Now, what the heck are "tapes", you may wonder. Boy, where would I go explaining all this? Ok, simply ignore me jibbering and let's go "spinning" some mp3s which might chill you or fuel you. We literally start off with Mark P. Adler and Let Me Fly. Going over to Antipodes by a wonderful trio named Cirrusaka. The we have Memories by Sub.Made. Right before meeting a track by Gus Till from Ghosts of the Earth. We get some of the best of Colonial Blend Extra Bold by Voodoo Tapes (see, tapes are still known). Then spicing it up with Tangerine Tom and his contribution to the Midnight Radio Compilation 26. Finally, at the late minute we go to The Inhabited Worlds with the herbal mind of Cao Sao Vang. Have a good taste.

Taking all the time in the world

Episode 272

As we learn from physics nowadays, time is relative. And while 30 minutes seem a relatively short amount of time, it may offer a whole universe to you. Like tonight's show, serving about half an hour of gourmet music. It all starts with the upcoming release by Erik Wøllo and Bernhard Wöstheinrich named Weltenuhr. Then we have something you Oughta See from the audio table of General Fuzz. Of course, we have the brand new EP Direction Green by Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder on our playlist. You will get Corel Cave's Panorama tonight. And fade out with a track from the new Midnight Radio Compilation number 26 by Corvus Makuro Project.

Magic clown soon in town

Episode 271

Hope you don't mind me starting with a plug for the Electronic Circus tonight, because these guys are really awesome. And so are the acts, not at all categorizable as traditional electronic music only, but being a junction of synth-pop, progressive rock and electronica, and more. So, best join in at October 4th in Gütersloh for great modern music in an exclusive environment. Check out this episode to find samples of three participating acts: Vile Electrodes, Alerick Project, and Jerome Froese. Will be great to see you at the event.
Of course, tonight's show is not restricted to Circus music. After the plug, you will find more very cool music. Like Mozee und SundB's Idoka. Music from the upcoming Moodwheel EP. And a fine track from Asylum Sneaker by Room of Wires.

Getting smooth into the night

Episode 270

The issue with playing ambient tracks on a not so long podcast is, well, it is not so long. It's difficult to keep the beauty of those tracks with the need to shorten to reasonable air-time length. But on the other side, I do not want to give away the whole tracks either. If you enjoy and like the music, the best is to get hold of the according album as linked in the playlist below. And some of those are for free, too. So take a listen and do not hesitate to fetch your copy. Like one of the Ambient Music Facebook Group Compilation of September 2014, represented by Infinite Third tonight. Then there is Nyul with his album When the Path Fades. A new Dirk Serries coming up named The Original Reversal. You get to hear from Aloft by the Nirgoona Project. And a double feature from Meditaions Vol. 1 by Salt of the Sound follows next. A new EP named Murmurist is on by UK artist Hanetration. And finally, brand new stuff by Shane Morris and Mystified from Evolution. Dive deep into emotions.

Freshly painted

Episode 269

Plenty of new and coming releases to make an edition of, so here it is. A nice mix of decent electronic music to be heard, so simply put on your headphones and lean back. On this show, the new album by Erren, Fleissig, Schöttler, and Steffen named Night on Ouddorp. We have Beyond the Airwaves Volume 1, the freshly released album by David Wright. One of the many tracks of the new Schallwende compilation Schallplatte 16, with music by Thomas Jung. Also new, Songs from the Deep Field by Darshan Ambient. Not stopping here, giving a track by Iotronica and her new album Of Moons and Stars. Closing with another sampler, Core of Pleasure with the contribution by Jakub Fijak.

Bottling the sun

Episode 268

So what is it that makes an event attractive? Is it the big names? Is it the atmosphere? Is it the people? Well, the Electronic Circus has it all and, additionally, always nice surprises. On tonight's playlist, two more tracks teasing for the pleasing. First, by Vile Electrodes from The Future Through a Lens, and second, Bernd Kistenmacher calling for Utopia. And both live on stage at October 4th in Gütersloh. But there is more great music on, like a track by VAD from his latest album. And then we have a goodie from last century, Bronx Shadows by Paul Lawler. And the final magnificent treat comes from Sundown Cafe who just release their second collaboration album Sunset Reverie.

Artistic activities

Episode 267

Must be April again with all the weather going bananas. At least, the real EM fans stay loyal organizing the 7th installment of the Electronic Circus in Gütersloh on October 4. And so we start tonight's edition with two tracks of Circus acts, first by Alerick Project from their album One Way and second Jerome Froese with his friends known as Loom from their album The Tree Hates the Forest. So, yeah, cool stuff coming up in about 6 weeks. Of course, there is more on the roster. Like Elrox with his latest album Lucent Echoes. Then we have a teaser for the upcoming re-release of Shadow of the Wind by Bekki Williams. Also, the new compilation from Midnight Radio number 24 is in with the contribution by Jesper Sorensen. And our closer is an old friend, Mikael Fyrek with A Thousand Years and One.
