It's summer vacation time over here in Germany. Many people left for nicer places to visit and to relax from work. My wife and I do so before and after summer usually, when those nice places are a bit quieter and less overrun. So I am at home most of the time (except on next weekend, when there will also be no new syndae show). With all the warmth at this time, all in all it makes totally sense to go a bit quieter on music this week. Yes, it's getting into the easy listening realm of sound this time. And really cool ones at this. So join in with contributions by Jim Ottaway (A Promise Of Eternity), Todd Mosby (Land of Enchantment), Michael Whalen (Watercolor Sky), Elsehow (Live Underwater), Masako (Lost there Found here), Ambiente Solstice feat. John Gregorius & Sean O'Bryan Smith (Short Stories), Monster Taxi (Field of Dreams), Rick Sparks (Belleza Isle), Paul Mallatratt (Let's 'Talk' About The Beat In Ambient (And Beyond) Volume 1), Sverre Knut Johansen (Still Time), Urs Fuchs feat. dankbar.club (The Legend of Fotheringhay).

One of the pillars of syndae has always been the vast world of netlabels. They curate many unknown to known artists, so we can have a nice collection of fresh music not following mainstream. And it is astonishing how many of those labels last over years. Of course, some of the good ones stopped operating over time. Some new were founded. But there is still a massive number of them out there. Especially caring music in the ambient and electronic realm, but not just. Tonight you will get an excerpt taken from the big amount of releases in the netlabel bag. Enjoy the diversity of styles with Captive Portal ft. Dmitriy Krotevich (Own The Night: The Remixes), Beth Quist (Aegean Dreams), Bleak House (Observation Notes), VEDSKY (Monument Records Netlabel Day), Bunshi (Zurvan), 4T Thieves (Tone), Cairo Braga (Blurred Time: Netlabel Day 2024), Gaucho Viento (The Organic Sound of Patagonia), jlmxv (Omnia Bene), Computer 4000 (Netlabel Day 2024 Techno Warriors), Mental Health Consumer (Recovery).

Sleep. Work. Eat. Repeat. This was somewhat the most routine past week I had. And that's fine with me. Easy going is nice. No stress. No pressure. I would assume this is good for health as well. And, thus, we are dwelling into the modern takes of the past again tonight. Music inspired by the golden age of electronic music. Nowadays also put under the umbrella name of Space Ambient, I'd say. Could be Berlin School, could be Krautrock. Anything, really, that feels good and steady. Join me for cool stuff in sounds by Colin Rayment with Joe Rayment (Metamorphic Phases), DTime (Within The Waves), Andy Kittner (Sands of Time), Cousin Silas & Michael Brückner (Passages and Spheres), OBUKHOVAUDIO (Kosmische Wellen), s475e (Sn°1), Kosmische Clutharachán Center (Barbe à Papa), DASK (Time and Burden).

We're going into dungeons and dragons and other fantasy realms tonight, on the hunt for hidden castles and maybe fight a dragon? Well. At least half the show will be. And then I have related, cinematic style music for you. Well, I do like fantasy in books and movies, although I am not deep into it. I know many friends and colleagues are or were into D&D gaming. In the past, I did enjoy simpler adventure games as well, but mostly passed for role playing. What about you? Leave a comment and tell me. And meanwhile, enjoy listening to great music by Talking to Ghosts & AndAWan (Convergence of Soul), Sonic Bodhi & Progeny -1 (Winged Memories), K37 (Fearless), Dirk Schlömer (Travels to the Untold II), Sverre Knut Johansen (Still Time), Grosso Gadgetto (Hidden Children of the Vatican), @erwilian (Cascadia).

So here comes a rather sad edition, or is it? During my vacation I learned that Norbert Kutz aka Eisenlager passed away earlier this year. His Midnightradio Compilation was a constant and great source for new music of any kind and has been part of many of syndae's shows. So tonight I'll give you a tribute edition with music by himself and from more or less randomly chosen issues of the compilation that I saw fit. This is only a very small fraction of the kind of music from the series, which fits within the sound of syndae. So join me for a goodbye to a wonderful mind, supporting and promoting music with no hidden agenda. This one is to you, Mr. Midnightradio. With music by Eisenlager (Atombomben Musik), All the Morphic Oceans (Midnightradio Compilation 114), Jesper Sørensen (Midnightradio Compilation), musicformessier & An Astromo (Midnightradio Compilation 31), Eisenlager and Midnightradio11 (Midnightradio Compilation Beautiful Julia Edition 2015), ambientium (Midnightradio Compilation 25), Reskimus & Ambient Mann (Midnightradio Compilation 22), Eisenlager (Rück Werk).

So I am enjoying the final hours of my vacation. It's kind of a hybrid state, where I feel as much relaxed as energized for a busy summer ahead. Well, difficult to decide upon the path for this edition, hence it is somewhat ambient, but on the more progressive edge with twists and rhythms. What do you think makes ambient music ambient? Do all the tracks from tonight's edition qualify? I do think so, but that may be only me. Best to join me for this hour and listen to great sounds by Byron Metcalf & Ari Urban ft. Dashmesh (Rituals of Passion), Fusion of Elements (Bigger than Us), _Imnot_here (Outside), Paul Ellis (The Haunted Afternoon), Peltiform (Like Phantoms), Cousin Silas & Øystein Q Jørgensen (Bemerkelsesverdig Morgen).

After all the chilling in the last edition, it is time to get a bit beefier tonight. All the energy collected the past days has to go somewhere. And it has become a quite diverse show this time, with calmer and more aggressive sounds and beats. No EDM though. That's in queue for another time. Also, I picked up some of the artists from last week to showcase their variability. Well, I am picking up some energy these days, which also changes my mood and need for music. It's great material I have for you tonight, so join me for a cool right, won't you? Have some great 60 minutes with music by Firnwald ft. D-Fried (Gadgetbag 2), Conny Olivetti (Future Europe), Stefan Erbe (Retrologica 2024), Roberto Sass (Transit), PLESS (Midnight Buffet), Ivan Black (Isms), Cousin Silas & Øystein Q Jørgensen (Bemerkelsesverdig Morgen), Kellerkind Berlin (Das Graublaue Album), NYORAI (Shinkirō), Hyrn (live at endlos elektro sounds).

So this was a busy week at work and at home, time to relax. So I will be a couch potatoe for a while, well, kind of at least. But I know I won't last very long at doing few to nothing. How about you? How do you relax and chill after some busy days, weeks, or month? One of my favourite side-activities of course is to listen to the fitting music for this occasion. This also works when reading a book, as there is no distracting vocal in electronic candy. So, join me, will you? For some great music on this edition brought to us by Anna B May & Wane of Summer (Leaving Home), Stefan Erbe (Retrologica 2024), Jazzyspoon (IDMf Retrospective Vol. 2), Roberto Sass (Transit), Firnwald (Veelargo Remix) (Gadgetbag 1), Globular (Lifts The Curse Of The Grey Goo Assimilators), Martin Stürtzer (Phase Transform), Stan Dart (Collaboration), Morpion (IDMf Retrospective Vol. 2), Youth & Gaudi (LSD Special Selections Vol. 11: CALAN HAF Vol. 2).

Back to school? Well, definitely always an option when talking about Berlin School. And this school is not over yet. Time and again old and new artists are being inspired by the works of the artists of that golden era of electronic music. And rightly so, as those were days of fresh sounds and inspiration, which hooked many of us to this timeless and impressive music style. And current takes on those teachings for once let us all delve in that wonderful past and also experience something new with what they make of it. Join me for great stuff by Erez Yaary (Everything Will Dissolve), D*Time (Inner Demons), Grant Beasley (Sands of Time), Walter Holland (The Sketchbook of Max Ernst), Stan Dart and @ColinRayment.music (Collaboration), Callisto (Either Side of Reality).

So, I am at the beach right now enjoying the final strains of sunshine. Actually, it’s the final day of my vacation and the trip back is ahead of me. Still, I like resting at this place, which is the opposite of busy most of the time. And what better to listen to than music that relaxes one’s soul? So tonight we are going to chill. Well, maybe double so, as the temperature outside dropped a bit below 20 Celsius. As long as I have my peace, I don’t mind. And especially tonight, starting off with a plug for my own music. Listen in to some relaxing tunes with Talking to Ghosts (Ironfist), Lars Leonhard (Gemstones IV), ELEON ft David Helpling (Daithi), Maid Dresses and POLUNDRA (The Usual Suspects), Point (100 Diamonds), Re-Drum (The Best Of Torrentech Vol. 5), Dissolved (Island Flux Remixes), moonbooter (Reminiscence).

So I had a very busy week. And I am not even sure I make it in time to promote this show this Friday. But, hey, it's a podcast and you can listen to it whenever you like. For this edition I thought about going a bit more ambient, but not too close. So you will find lots of treats on this show that are in between the worlds, and of course fine electronic music it is, too. Time to discover exciting sounds and uncover the beautiful sound of spacey ambient lifting the aural lids. Enjoy the night with tracks by Bernd-Michael Land (Begegnungen), Jim Ottaway (Infinite Universes), Mike Hans STEFFL (Calaboose Islands), Johan Agebjörn (Subtracted Soundscapes), Sensory++ (Introversum), Solitaire (Plains And Skies), Walter Fini & Shane Beck (The Open Door), M3NASH (Declive).
