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!

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.

Next WAVES on 1 December 2024 – Soluna Music Special

The last Waves of 2024 are just around the corner. So I picked some really sweet tunes to present you the magic of Soluna Music chillout! They have been putting out outstanding melodic Progressive House in the last years and time and time again there are some ambient or chillout tunes. To celebrate their extraordinary taste I played music by Numedian, Cullera, Deidian, Darius, Skyline Project, Lumidelic and many many more!

So tune into FriskyRadio CHILL on Sunday, December 1st, 2024 at 7 p.m. EST / 1 p.m. EST and enjoy the WAVES!

Latest Waves with Special for Brombaer and Chicane

From time to time I love to play specials for music styles or artists, like last month for Classical Glass. This month I stumbled upon one of my favourite artists again: Brombaer. In the 2010s I played a lot of great tunes he produced back then. He released more classically inspired music lately, so I had to dedicate the August show to his music.

While compiling this show I realized I hadn’t played much Chicane songs lately and he released so much great music in the last years. Thus I put his tracks in the second hour and planned some fitting tunes around those.

The third special in this show is an Ambient remix I produced of a classic Trance tune. Activa’s Remember was a banger back in the days and I always wanted it to be playable in Chillout sets. So I had to produce it myself and I will make it available in the next days!

All in all last Sunday there was a show with some high notes and some very very chilled sounds. You can find the stream on demand on Frisky CHILL. Go there, listen and relax!

Next Waves on 7 July 2024 – Classical Glass Special!

The next Waves is just around the corner. Just as you know it, it features relaxing beats as well as captivating melodies. But this time there’s once again more to it: Classical Glass is one of my favourite contemporary composer and he is doing all of his work without any monetary interest. It’s pure art. So I invited him back – after the special I made in 2021 – to be my guest. And I’m still excited to play his pieces that can calm you down instantly.

If you don’t know him, you can get a glance with these words:

Philip Dupuis (Classical Glass) is a multi-instrumentalist and composer from Canada who specializes in melodic minimalist pieces that attempt to tell a musical story within each piece through tonal and dynamic variations. Philip believes that music, at its best, conveys beauty in a way that no other art form can. As such he agrees with the English poet John Keats who proclaimed “Beauty is truth, truth beauty — that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know”.

Philip began his musical life as a percussionist but fell in love with the piano in his late teens. Since then he has worked on embellishing his piano works with other keyboard sounds from a number of different synthesizers to create a unique atmospheric quality to music. 

And you can always hear his atmospheric style desribed here! If you don’t believe, you can listen to some of his tracks on Soundcloud.

So sit back and tune into FriskyRadio CHILL on Sunday, July 7th, 2024 at 7 a.m. ESST / 1 p.m. CEST and enjoy this Ambient/Chillout special on Waves!

Next Waves on 7 April 2024

Waves is one of the best ways to relax on a Sunday. I love to mix it and get the best relaxation and leave you something behind to chill out to. So on Sunday, April 7th, 2024, there will be the next show with some great Ambient and interesting tunes. I put together Blufeld, Nyanara, Moby, Firas Tarhini and new stuff by Grum.

Do you know the Electronic Opus by BT? I also put some of this special electronic-Orchestra collaboration in. And the final is a special chillout remix of an OceanLab tune.

So tune in on April 7th, 2024, at 7 a.m. ESST / 1 p.m. CEST to catch the new Waves on FriskyRadio CHILL.

Waves – 14th Anniversary on 4 February 2024

To be honest, I can’t really believe that Waves will make its 14th birthday on next Sunday! It was my first regular show and still is my love while mixing it every month. I never missed a show in 14 years!

For the anniversary I put together some really nice tunes by the likes of Inon Bramy, Vince Forwards, Alexxon, Fort Road, Alexander Tarasov and many more! Also I had to include what is possibly my album of 2023: BT’s The Secret Language of Trees combines wonderful melodies with interesting beats, some glitches, some drones and long track development, which I really came to love. So in the show there are two of the album tracks.

So don’t miss it and tune into Frisky CHILL on Sunday at 7 a.m. EST / 1 p.m. CET and enjoy the Waves crashing through your speakers!

Next WAVES on 7 January 2024

The new year is beginning with a big Chillout show! I have looked for some of the best Ambient tunes in 2023 and put them together in the new Waves for FriskyRadio CHILL. There are melodies by Random J, Numedian, MLDJ or Cloudcage.

Of course I had to include BT’s July album The Secret Language of Trees, which is nothing groundbreaking new but a great successor for albums like Morceau Subrosa or If The Stars Are Eternal So Are You and I. I love the break beats, the chiming pads or the glitch sounds, which are just as much not to sound like completely experimental.

The second important feature is just one track by my friend Ingo Vogelmann. He has released not less than 3 albums in the past year and he showed why he is one of the leaders for emotional music for me.

Now you know what to expect from the new show. So tune in on Sunday, January 7th, 2024 to FriskyRadio CHILL at 7 a.m. EST / 1 p.m. CET and enjoy the first chilled Waves of the new year!

Next WAVES on 6 August 2023

The second half of the year has begun and every new month means a new WAVES on FriskyRadio! This time I picked some very special pad tunes from Night Note, Adam Francis, Sonic Scope and Numedian.

Having released 3 albums this year, my good friend Ingo Vogelmann is a guest in the playlist again with 3 tunes. Of course you can look forward to hearing some epic orchestra or some chilled beats again, but the piano isn’t as wide spread as usual on the show.

So don’t miss this episode and tune into FriskyRadio CHILL on Sunday, August 6th, 2023 at 7 a.m. ESST / 1 p.m. CEST. Enjoy your Chillout Sunday!
