Next WAVES on 6th April 2025

Waves is always a special occasion for me to calm down, to experiment, to explore different soundscapes. The April episode will be just this: I put in some really experimental tunes like Need by Rzekomo, melodysheep’s The Unbroken Thread or the opener by Moderat: Copy Copy. The more beautiful tracks with melody, piano and warm pads are from the likes of Ginc, Glimpse, Brombaer or Owsey.

The experimental, glitchy sounds are part of a small tribute: In January 2015 Edgar Froese died. He was a pioneer of the electronic movement, always looking for new sounds, trying out new ways of music. Edgar founded the iconic band Tangerine Dream who crafted the sound for the electronic avantgarde. The Berlin school was even named after artists like him working in Berlin on electronic instruments. Thus I also included Ivan Black’s For Edgar and Gravitation’s Wormhole Fx 61 composed in the analogue Berlin school style.

So tune into FriskyRadio CHILL on Sunday, April 6th, 2025, at 7 a.m. ESST / 1 p.m. CEST and enjoy the chillout sounds!

In Between – 13 Years Anniversary on March 28th 2025

It has taken quite some time to realise: In Between is already 13 years old. I’ve been mixing this show with deep house, progressive house and progressive Trance for this long time now – every month with the same joy! I love picking the tunes, putting them together to a full, nice set of fitting melodies and beats, and finally mixing and listening later. It is like working on a piece as a craftsman and later being proud you made it.

So this time I took some of the hottest tunes right now and compiled music by the likes of Emre K, Manu & Bennett, Pouls3n, the new Paul van Dyk, Marcel Vautier and many others. I had to include a classic by Hydroid – The Eternal which probably was one of my go to tunes when it came to progressive Trance back in the days when I started this show.

So tune into FriskyRadio on Friday, March 28th, 2025 at 2 p.m. ESST / 7 p.m. CET – mind the different summer time in Europe and the US!

Waves – 15th Anniversary on 2nd February 2025

Wow, how time flies by! 15 year have gone until I mixed the first Waves show in 2010 and a lot has happened since then. I have played thousands and thousands of tunes, maybe hundreds of artists and several styles.

The show ranges from traditional Chillout from the likes of Conjour One, Reuben Halsey or Vangelis over classical music represented by Afternova, Ludovico Einaudi or Yann Tiersen, also Ambient by Night Note, Ivan Black, Brian Eno or The Oxford Ambient Collective or experimental music by Olafur Arnalds, Ullapul or The Quietist finally to Dubstep from Bonobo, Burial, Massive Attack or Rameses B, Trance Ambient by Above & Beyond, Tenishia or Pedro del Mar and Postrock by Hammock or jazzdefector.

The show has had very different shows with breakbeats, beatless shows, piano only, dubstep and drum & bass, experimental or melodic shows, so I had the task to put together an anniversary representing all this variety! To be fair: You could say I failed. And you could say I prevailed. Considering all the big names and all the styles I couldn’t put everything together in one show. That would have been a 4 hours show at least!

But on the other hand there is music by a lot of very important artists in different styles: Chicane, Magdelayna, MoonRacer, Above & Beyond, The Thrillseekers, Thomas Newman, Classical Glass, BT, Brombaer, Imogen Heap, Vito von Gert and many others. The first hour features some newer sounds from 2024 and 2025, the second hour brings you back with some classical sounds by some of the most influential artists for me in the last 15 years. As stated earlier I couldn’t get everything crammed into this show, but I think some of the best are in there. And maybe some forgotten gems.

Finally I had to put in one of my own productions representing my Ambient style. And there had to be one tune in the show by Ingo Vogelmann. At first he is a big influence in my musical work. Second he brought me to FriskyRadio and gave my career a big push. So he had to be in there!

So don’t miss this special show on February 2nd, 2025, and tune into Frisky CHILL at 7 a.m. EST / 1 p.m. CET!

New „Arrivals“ on 7 February 2025

As you already know from last years dates my good friend Jaded and I have a new show on FriskyRadio. We have been collaborating from 2012 on and so we decided we should team up for an irregular show. And as you all know in the beginning you sometimes get carried away so we already mixed the third installment!

The first two shows have already aired in August and October and were two progressive mixes. Now we thought of something different – movie scores and game scores. Jaded is a big movie score enthusiast and played a great variety, I myself focussed on game scores that have always fascinated me. I especially picked some tunes from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the two Ori games or Arise – A Simple Story.

So tune into FriskyRadio CHILL on February 7th, 2025, at 12 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. CET and enjoy the chillout and orchestral sounds!

Activa – Remember (Addliss Chillout Remix)

A really long time ago Activa was one of the hot producers in Trance and today he is again, after a break of several years. Back in the days he had his breakthrough with Remember which has a simple, but very intense and hooking melody. I always envied him having written this melody and some time ago I had the idea, this should be available in a non-club atmosphere.

So I produced this Ambient remix just representing the melody, altering the piano line and adding some synths.

This is a non-profit upload, so if there’s any problem with it, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Next Waves on 5 January 2025

The New Year has just begun and FriskyRadio is delivering the next Chillout waves for your pleasure! As you know my routine I try to put together some of the best Chillout tunes from the recent year and so you will hear music by Numedian and Nipika, who both released an album. Rzekomo, Roald Velden and Adam Francis are regular guests in my show as well as Chicane. You will also relisten compositions by Brombaer and Classical Glass, both of which I featured with a special show in July and August respectively.

Finally I will present my newest remix project of Remember by Activa back in 2008. I took the club banger and put it into an all beautiful melodic tune without any beats. This track will also be released on Soundcloud on Sunday as a free download!

So don’t miss out and tune into FriskyRadio CHILL on Sunday, January 5th, 2025 at 7 a.m. EST / 1 p.m. EST.
