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.

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!

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!

Epiphany of Sound – Vol. 162

Epiphany of Sound has another installment in 2023. The year with the least episodes checks out with a bang – some newer tunes, some others from earlier this year. Make sure to listen to some music by Tensteps, Nicholas Gunn, N-sKing or Activa. One of my more recent discoveries is Future Force Recordings who are putting out quality uplifting regularly.

The classic tune is a really epic one. Riva’s Time Is A Healer had a huge impact on building my taste in Trance back in the day and it was the iconic Armin era which I still cherish.

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.
