If there is one instrument for electronic music that is cult, this is it: The Roland TR-808. The percussive foundation for many styles, starting with Electro, Hip-Hop, House, and also diving hard into popular music as well. So, here is an hommage to the legend in drum sounds with show number 808. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions on songs, especially via social channels. I cannot guarantee, all the tracks use the original TR-808, but its the spirit, right? Well, join in for some really cool tracks from, I think, artists never heard on syndae before. Cool sounds you get by Aphex Twin (Selected Ambient Works 85-92), Ryuichi Sakamoto (B-2 Unit), Underground Resistance vs Nomadico (The Final Frontier (Remix)), Professor X (StatiX), Drexciya (Neptune's Lair), Hashim (Electro Compiled by Joey Negro), Cybotron (Clear), The Egyptian Lover (1983-1988), Dynamik Bass System (The Mighty Machine), New Order (Confusion).

Sometimes, plans change. As did the one for tonight, as of some sad news coming in this week, which is the passing of Ronald Schmidt aka Faber. Such news do not pass one without passion, and the mood of the show did not match my own at all. But it is still a phenomenal show at that, having many great artsts and beautiful sounds to relish. Join in for some treats by Faux Tales (Ripples), Uwe Rechzeh (The Architecture of Dreams), Harald Nies (Strange Matter), Planet Boelex (Twenty), Tim Stebbing (Voyage of the Beagle), David A Jaycock (Children of The Cold War: Phase 7), Samplequence (Shatter Marbles), NoLosaï (Flying), Conny Olivetti (Dusting of the Past), Faber (Sequentium).

We are back in the world of glamour with this edition, where we have quite a number of film music, that is the sound of movies and tv series, which I love so much. And I hope you will, too.

So, whether it is real film being put to aural pleasure or some mind movie, here you get marvellous music by Daniel Pemberton (Project Hail Mary), Evan Call (Frieren. Beyond Journey's End Season 2), Tetsuya Takahashi (Rooster Fighter Vol. 1), Peter Peter (Heated Rivalry), Achillea ft.

So, we've been to a nice littel ice cream parlour today and enjoyed the food, sitting in and relishing the summerly weather. Besides ice cream, they also serve several variations on filled doughnuts. The ones with the hole in the middle (just to not confuse them with "Berliner" pancakes, which are also filled, but have no hole). The really looked like tiny cakes rather than doughnuts. And, of course, we could not resist to fetch some with cream and fruits and chocolate bits. And if you like sweet and lovely sounding bits, join in for some spacy Berlin School tunes by Oscar Postma (Dutch Electronic Masters VII), Conny Olivetti (Grenzwellen Für Immer), TaboTago (The Neukölln Concert), Mario Schönwälder (Solotrip), Flavour Sperimentale (Voyager 13), Ogle & Mugwood (Eskypism), Dream Sequence (The Euclidean Sea)

Now, what is it that made me feel a little bit easier this week? Maybe it's the Spring-view with all its green and yellow colours. And it is slightly getting warmer and sunnier over here. I am feeling quite positive these days, except for that screaming pink car outside, which blinds my eyes. Being in such a mood, of course the selection of music for tonight's edition follows the lighter weight of life. Join me for some easy and beautiful songs by Mativetsky, Amiri & Pagé (Metamorphose), Andrew Schoen & Joe Nutter (Live & Otherwise), Bernd Scholl (Seasons Will Change), Dino Pacifici (Future Noir), Ambient Ballroom (Between the Cakes), Cass Anawaty (Continuance), Projekt Ich vs Talking to Ghosts (In the Fire), Øystein Q. Jørgensen (The March equinox 2026), Vin Downes & Tom Eaton (Until the Light Was Gone), Steve Orchard (A Sudden Rush of Calm), Glint (Hope), yttriphie (Solipsis).

We are close to episode 808 of the show. What about a special containing music using the famous TR-808? What tracks would be suitable? Any suggestion is welcome.

When I was young, it was quite difficult to get hold of instrumental music by itself, well, maybe except for classical music. The electronic music albums were sparsely sold and, of course, I did not have the money back then. What was great, though, that most of the singles one could purchase in those days contained the instrumental version of the song on its B-sides. Escpeially great with maxi singles, which were the 45 rpm long-player-sized singles with extras. Weird days, looking back from the current view on always available streamable music. Well, I stuck with the instrumental music, and tonight there are great new ones by TOKEE (Путешествие Remixes), weldroid (The Peripheral (2026)), Man as island vs Morakh & Man as island vs Ambidextrous (AN), Roberto Sass (The Road 2 Nowhere), Factsimile (Signal 25), Polished Chrome (Music for Headphones), Projekt Ich ft. Stian Shiver vs Tonschleifer (In The Fire: Instrumental Remix Edition), Krzysztof Kurkowski (Motus Pulsans), Side Liner (Cosmicleaf Mixtape 007 (Psychill)), Z.A.G.Z. (Z.A.G.Z.), NDORFIK (Binary Echo)

So humans are back to the moon, or at least "going around" the moon. Is this the start of space businesses? Will we soon see adventures to colonize the moon or finally go for Mars (to save Mark Watney, of course)? Who knows? But the vast and mostly empty universe always is a fascinating place to dream about. So much so, that I will start a new chapter for syndae having some really ambient ambient on the show. Not quite drone like, but close. There are some cool artists out there providing music to discover sounds so dense and wide in conjunction, which makes you feel wonders. Join for entring space with music by Cosmic Cadence (Color Pools 1), Progeny -1 (Color Pools 2), Interstellar Data Unit (Wayfarer Records Sample Volume 2), Loneward (Paradox of Silken Stars), Steve Roach & Serena Gabriel (Entering Elysium), CIRC (fading), Jake Soffer & Brent Carmer View (Imaginary Rooms), NGC 224 (Into The Void).

What a tiring week this was. I had to travel to doctor appointments a number of times, which, especially with buses, seem to take ages. Not to mention the long waiting times at the doctor's. Well, at least I am lucky to have some healthcare at my living space, while some places do not or gete stripped of the ability to afford it. Some small issues with my vision and my voice, which you might probably hear in this edition, added to it. And what better to enjoy, when being worn off from a busy week, than groovy and chilly music. Hence, tonight you will get a one hour dosis of great beats and sounds by Dee-Key (Wild Flowers), Enigmatic Obsession (The Byzantine Empire), Supercozi (Dome Edits), Tectonia (Luna (The Moon)), Thomas Lemmer & Thomas Foster (Deep inside the Blue), OHM-G (Beautiful You), Faestos (Heavy Dub Vol. 11), Alan Elettronico (Odyssey), Vixyr's Paradox (TABLA ON TABLA), C37 (The reality is...), Joao Ceser (Brianza), Johannson (De Mi Corazon).

This is an excerptional show you will find tonight, as it is edition 80-0 of syndae, which will feature a look back at the beginnings of electronic music as we share our love in. Right, back in those golden ages for EM some ingenious people started experimenting with electronic equipment and the like to invent a new style in sound and music, and lay the foundation for many more and, admittedly, more popular styles we (in parts have to) listen to these modern days. There might be an alternative universe out there not having these geniuses at work, well, they would miss out on great stuff. Join me for a tiny celebration and time travel with the music by Klaus Schulze (Timewind), Jean-Michel Jarre (Les Chants Magnétiques), Kraftwerk (Minimum - Maximum), Tangerine Dream (Ricochet (Live)), Manuel Göttsching (E2-E4).
