5 hours of ambient, electronica and berlin school favourites from 5 decades

April 18, 2017

sunday’s ambient marathon at spiritland is now online – have a listen if you have some spare time to drop out… 😉
didn’t use any fx for this set, so some of the transitions are a bit sketchy – maybe just look at it as a selection of some of my favourite music rather than an actual ‘dj set’. hope you’ll enjoy…

sonic realities 7

January 18, 2017

The first Sonic Realities of 2017 is available to listen to NOW!
A musical duvet – courtesy of Nathaniel Cramp/Sonic Cathedral and Ulrich Schnauss – to pull up over your head as the world is brought to an end by a man who refers to himself in the third person.
Only Jerry Lee Lewis should be allowed to do that (refer to himself in the third person, not end the world) and that’s why we closed the show with his version of ‘Over The Rainbow’.
Also featured on this month’s show: Charlie Louvin covering Sandy Denny, Kevin O’Neill, David Pajo / Papa M, Franco Leprino, John Cale, Brian Eno, Hiroki Okano, Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk, Spectres, Frédéric Würtz / AEM, James Brewster (featuring the late, great Gravenhurst), the first new Slowdive song in 22 years, Wolfgang Voigt and Grouper.
Plus, not forgetting our regular guest/only friend Mark Peters of Engineers.

December 15, 2016
