Happy New Something, welcome to an increased year counter, and welcome to the first edition of syndae for 2016. After the unusual warm season time, colder weather is announce for this Hemisphere so I will rather stay with warmer and relaxing music for a smooth restart. And we have some really nice new releases on the show as well, quite mixing past, present and future tonight with tracks by Craig Padilla (Heaven Condensed), Steve Roach (Emotions Revealed), Remy (Fears), Rainbow Serpent (Pulse), 4T Thieves (Fulcrum), and Tim Kays (Phenomena).

Happy holidays, everyone. Time for the final show of syndae for 2015. After some harddrive trouble, finally prepared for more great electronic music. And this episode conains a full hour of great material, new and noteworthy, of course. Enjoy the show with tracks by Deep Imagination (Dancing With Ghosts), Michael Allison (Remember the Sultana), Cousin Silas & Kevin Lyons (Interplanetary Blues), Celtic Vedic & GhostLiner (Dakini Mother Tongue), Tetarise (Stop this Moment), Sun of Arqa (All is Not Lost, All is Dub), moonbooter vs. Wellenfeld (Live Münster 2015), The Tower Tree (Transposing), Risssing (Alley), Dimitris Palikaris (Stargate), and TM Solver (Maroc).

Quiet please. Come and listen to the illustrious silence presented in colorful sounds. It's time to heal your mental wounds, torn open from the weekly noise of daylife. Immerse into the ambience of tonight's show and get drunk of its sheer beauty. Have a great evening with tracks by Salt of the Sound (Echoes of Wonder), Ivan Black (The Image has Cracked), Fringo Chills (...the First Time), Altus (Komorebi), eisenlager (Not Ambient), and Jan Grünfeld (Music for Plants).

Some call this the peaceful time of the year. Unfortunately, for quite a lot of us it is not. Some of us are lucky to live in a quieter region of this world, many not so. Wherever you are, tonight's show may bring you some peace of mind. I believe that music can do that, take some worries and give hope, help one believe that there is beauty in this world, so not all is lost. Have a pacific time with Green Isac Orchestra (Green Isac Orchestra), Steve Orchard (Still the River Flows), Andy Pickford (Vanguard 1), Alien Nature & Stan Dart (Accelerator), Faber (Dark Sun), Robert Scott Thompson (Midnight Radio Compilation 52).

Anyone in the mood for the festive season? I am not, so on this edition of syndae you will get quite some noisemakers, all of them part of the fascinating species of electronic musicians. One never knows, what is behind a new name, until the sound hits your ear and ensnares you. And these are the artists you will get to hear tonight: Dirk Rohde as Xeniaturaba (Midnight Radio Compilation 52), Anders Jørgenson (Greatest Hits), Möbius (Tempus Fugit), AeTopus (When), Betzler & Brückner (Two), and Claudio Casanueva.

It could have been such a nice and quiet evening, if you weren't going for this podcast episode. Simply let me know, if you dared to sit silently while listening to tonight's guitarish artists, presenting a colorful basket filled with progressive and rocking tracks. Let us enjoy this 30 minutes together with Pyramaxx (Distance), TrucitatE and Flares (Post Rock Germany), Modern Crusader (Long Way Home 1), and Lunar Dawn (Kolovrat).

Days are still getting shorter for some weeks, building a perfect scenery for rather ambient electronica, even with some tickle to it, that is not straight forward background music but that slight experimental touch making the sound so special. While one can listen to ambient music in the background most of the times, you really shouldn't do with tonight's show. Listen closely and discover all the fine details presented within. So, I'd recommend you take a deep dive into the music by Denzel & Huhn (Brom), Elrox Ambient Session (Tralfamadore), Pete Farn (Blow My Tears), Solitaire (Altered States), Sean D. Cooper Marquardt & Lutz Thhuns (Friends of Ambient), El Prêtro Maniaco (Midnight Radio), and Palancar (Shani).

Three, two, one, aural fun. And if you join me and others next Saturday in Dortmund, you will get visual fun as well at the Raumzeit Festival. And if you are in Belgium at B-Wave, I wish you lots of fun, too. So many events to choose from at the moment, one could wish to have a split personality visiting each and all of them. Well, I cannot split, so I'll be in Dortmund that day. And, of course, some more teasing music tonight, where I tried to pick some quieter tracks for exciting your finer senses. On the menu tonight, Frank Tischer, Baltes & Erbe (S-thetic²), Rike Casper, Bouvetøya (Timeslip), All Our Fears and Love (Midnight Radio 51), and Realm (Distance).
