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.

Track of the Day: Kalandra – Ghosts (30-11-2024)

There are lots of outstanding tunes released every year, every month, even everyday. But sometimes you encounter a song that you instantly know is something really special. I didn’t know Kalandra until yesterday and my friend Ingo Vogelmann recommended their song Ghosts to me. As I listened I immediately felt the special atmosphere.

The topic is very deep, revolving around lost family, the dark season of the year and the soothing effect of music during pensive hours. And while being very simple in the melody it is never boring. That’s why it is my track of the day today!

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!

Ingo Vogelmann – Bereft (Review)

Ingo Vogelmann will release his fourth album in 2023. Being away from music production for quite some time Vogelmann seems to have his most productive year so far. After As Above, So Below, Weigthless, and Elegy for the Living he digs deeper into Ambient soundscapes. Long story short: listen to it and contemplate the reason you exist. It is best suited for very close listening and exploring your mind. It will be released on every platform on November 3rd, 2023 – for example Bandcamp, Spotify or Apple Music. Ingo sent me a review copy upfront so I could give it a listen.

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!
