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!

In Between – 12 Years Anniversary on 22 March 2024

It feels like yesterday when I first started In Between. It is a show I put all my heart into playing progressive sounds – some deep, some more melodic, but always soulful music. In a few days this show turns 12 and I put together some representative tunes to celebrate this. Beginning with deep, rolling stuff by Roald Velden, Aurum or Baud Rate I turned it to melodic uplifting by Nipika, Cosmaks or Terry Gaters. It is full of small elements which you will appreciate, I am sure of that!

So tune into FriskyRadio on Friday, March 22nd, 2024 at 2 p.m. EST / 8 p.m. CET and enjoy this anniversary with me!

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!

Activa – Remember (Addliss Chillout Remix) [Sample]

Back in 2008 Activa was on his first high to present his iconic track Remember which maybe every Trance DJ played. It was one of the biggest tracks in the 2000s for me and still is one of my favourites of all time. Just sitting at home diseased I remembered the tune and had to try out the melody. So I thought of a Chillout remake which would suit the melody really well!

Not wasting any time I made it and, of course, there’s still a lot to finish like EQing, effects, maybe some percussions (?), I don’t know yet. But you can hear a short sneak preview on my Soundcloud:

If you like it, tell me! I will do my best to finish it in the near future!

Next „In Between“ on 26 January 2024

The first month of 2024 has almost passed and it’s time for your monthly injection of melodic progressive on In Between again! This time I have put together a mix of very melodic and chilled tunes in the beginning, featuring a new release coming on Minded Music again – Roald Velden’s label of organic and soulful music.

Also I have discovered the new producer Pouls3n who is really killing it with his atmospheric and emotional style. Prepare for his music! The rest is nothing less than you are used to by my show: great stuff by Lesh, Cosmaks, Lumidelic, Skyhunter and many more!

So get ready for In Between on FriskyRadio on Friday, January 26th, 2024 at 2 p.m. EST / 8 p.m. CET!

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!
