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!
