Sunday Music
Sometimes on Sundays I would like to treat you to my favourite music to be played on a Sunday afternoon, usually chilled and relaxed and not necessarily electronica. Most of this music has been very inspirational to me and it’s my pleasure to share this with you. Discover my musical taste beyond the beat. This is what the web is for, right?
Sunday Music: Round about Midnight
Just before this Christmas Sunday ends: some midnight vibes from Inge Brandenburg, a true German Jazz Diva from the 60s.Up there with the best! Unfortunately there is not much information on this amazing singer in English language. Here's the German Wikipedia page and...
a glow – perfect – The Video
Strange and mysterious things happen in the autumn-coloured forests of Oberhavel in the far north of Brandenburg. Problems shrink and people get lost. Like in this wonderful video that Gernoto shot for perfect, the first single of my new duo a...
Sunday Music: Tranceformed From Beyond
Yesterday night I played once again together with my friend Harald BlĂĽchel aka Cosmic Baby at the Liquid Sky Berlin Ambient Underwater Candlelight Jam at Maze in Berlin. In 1992 we conceived together an early milestone in electronic music history: the compilation...
Sunday Music: Krautrock
Yesterday night's session at LSB_tv was quite amazing: the whole scale was larger, wider, bigger. We recorded in the big studio at Alex-TV and had an impressive video installation. Several acts from the Liquid Sky universe would meet and play. I had just returned from...
Sunday Music: Snarky Puppy
While I was sitting with my Liquid Sky Berlin mate Omsk Information for dinner at Rootz in Kreuzberg the other day (we had those delicious Santa FĂ© wraps, yummy), he mentioned a multi-racial Jazz Fusion band from Brooklyn, NYC called Snarky Puppy. He said that they...
Sunday Music: High On Hope (Long Hot Summer Remix)
Now this was summer 2014. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Especially the last week was a nice payback for some unnecessary cold and rain before. 22 years ago around this time, I was waiting for the release of the Summer Remix EP of my Microglobe track High On...
Sunday Music: Phobia
When I was working with DJ Hell on several common productions in 2007, I suddenly heard bells in my mind. This happens quite often in totally different situations: suddenly a sound or a melody strikes my mind like a comet and I wonder where I know this from. Those...
Sunday Music: Flammende Herzen by Michael Rother
Just recently I received a promo of a new compilation called "ELECTRI_CITY - ELEKTRONISCHE_MUSIK_AUS_DÜSSELDORF" full of old gems by Düsseldorf based bands from the 70s and 80s like Der Plan, La Düsseldorf, Harmonia, DAF, NEU!, Die Krupps, Liasons Dangereuses and...
Sunday Music: My Life In The Sunshine
Message from the waterfront: don't hang around in the shade. Enjoy your life in the sunshine. Coz like Roy Ayers knows: Everybody Loves The Sunshine. Need I say more? Well, maybe I should tell you a bit about my connection to that song. Back in 88, when the music was...
Sunday Music: Long Hot Summer
Pfhhhh, such a hot day today in Berlin. And here's my perfect soundtrack for a lazy hot sunday afternoon: The Style Council's Long Hot Summer with it's super-elegant bass line and floating arpeggios and of course the golden voice of Paul Weller. In the 80s I was a...
Sunday Music: We Are The Champions
Sunday Music on a Tuesday? Yes, please excuse me, but yours truly was busy watching the Football World Cup Final last Sunday and to jump for joy after the match. I already told you a bit or two about my passion for football and my hope, that the German team might face...
Sunday Music: ADSX, Sense & Dr. Walker – The MK Naomi Sessions
As most of you might or should know I am part of the Liquid Sky Berlin collective and good friends with LSB head honcho Dr. Walker of Air Liquide fame. Liquid Sky Berlin is the home for all kinds of disturbing and distorted electronica, but also has a beautiful...
Sunday Music: Jan Akkerman & Claus Ogerman ‎– Aranjuez
As the nightwings come down slowly upon this Sunday, I am being reminded of an exceptional album by Dutch Jazzrock guitarist Jan Akkerman in conjunction with German musical arranger, orchestrator, conductor & composer  Claus Ogerman from the year of 1978. This is...
Sunday Music: Stan Getz / João Gilberto ‎/ Astrud Gilberto
Yes, it's the World Cup 2014 in Brazil and could I not treat you with some Brazilian flavour in my Sunday Music column? Of course no official World Cup songs or Samba EDM remakes, but some really lovely 60's Bossanova from the original masters. Although I have some...
Sunday Music: Basic Channel
Moritz von Oswald aka Maurizio and Mark Ernestus, founder of the legendary Hardwax store are no less than true inventors. With their project and imprint Basic Channel, they single (or double-) handedly created Dub Techno as we know it today. Think Phylyps Trak, ...
Sunday Music: Brian Eno – Dune OST
Oh look, it's Special Agent Dale Cooper. Well, of course this is Kyle MacLachlan in the leading role of the movie Dune directed by David Lynch in 1984. While most of the soundtrack of this really nice science fiction movie (also starring Sting of The Police) had been...
Sunday Music: Jean Michel Jarre – Waiting For Cousteau
I still remember very well, where I heard Waiting For Cousteau by Jean Michel Jarre for the time. On one of my first tours with MFS Records we were driving through the scenic mountainside between Austria and Munich. It was September 19th 1992 - a Sunday. The night...
Sunday Music: Projekt Erde
Today I'd like to introduce you to Projekt Erde, a very unknown ambient act from Germany. I discovered their double-album Mysterious Vibration/ 11:11Â in 1992, mainly due to the nicely looking CD box. Turn this music loud and let it swell and drift like a warm and...
Sunday Music: Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works Volume II
When I bought this double vinyl in 1994, I was totally shocked by the stunning beauty of Aphex Twin's music. Sure, sometimes he drops disturbing industrial hardcore beats. But the Ambient pieces on this album belong to the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Music...
