FAITHLESS - Sunday 8pm

My favourite from Faithless, and I wager a lot of other folks' favourite from Faithless too. Even if they don't realize it.

Transatlantik Lounging 3 (Exotic Vibes, Mystic & Caribbean Cool), released on Life Enchancing Audio in 2000.

Compilation of downtempo grooves released in Belgium from 2000. Kind of thing I used to play in bars around then, albeit not in Belgium.

Archive – Londinium (1996)
Один из ключевых альбомов в истории трип-хопа — мрачный, нервный и невероятно кинематографичный. Londinium сформировал звучание конца 90-х и до сих пор остаётся мощным ориентиром жанра.

CIRCULAR - Substans

One of those records that has a lot of good ideas, but isn't good for those with bouts of ADHD.

2015 UPDATE!
emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/11/

Talk about timing. One of the original artists involved in this recently reached out to me regarding my, erm, not-so flattering thoughts about this release. Can't say I wasn't sincere, even if my early prose was still wallowing in Web 1.5 Era snark.

This transmission's coming to you from beyond the reality realm.

It maybe an unpleasant November out there - but what about some warm coziness from the inside?

I know something that may spark all that:

RADIO IRRTUM!
(on air from Berlin)

↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓

Da next issue of
#RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/11/22, 8:00pm UTC+1, Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

Wuzit then?

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planet's genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's all about the #music!
A lot of it - this time with a bit of focus on Spoken Words!

Covering stuff like

- lightweight musical poems
- voice heavy
#organPoint Pop
- dreamy Bulgarian
#Triphop
- a
#Fediverse dream cooperation of #Bonkwave artists doing classic #DnB
- playful
#indietronic
- #140
#Bass full of dancy-pancy energy
-
#IBM (the term Radio-Irrtum! uses for Intellectual Bass Music) including Spoken Words
- Experimental
#SpokenWords
- less
#experimental SpokenWords
- dark Riot Grrrl
#Postpunk
- dreamy
#Downtempo #Lofi for making you smile

Lots of
#CreativeCommons music is included and there are super cool artists from the Fediverse. Like @axwax@chaos.social + @ahihi@anticapitalist.party + @animaexanimata@norden.social + @poemproducer@systerserver.town . Lots of strong women in music too. Lots wont be found on Spotify while it's all here!

Also (mostly for the German listeners I'm afraid) I will explain the organ point composition technique which is featured even in modern music (and without an organ if you are lucky).
And I will merge Johann Sebastian Bach's name into "Johannes Bach" by misstake at one point. I honestly know better! I can say this because the show is preproduced (and still I didn't catch this before uploading it to the radio station; this is bad!).

Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual
#music, tune in! 📻

Got questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask here!
Playlist + manuscript after the show also here.
CU all (?) on Saturday.

Thievery Corporation — Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi (1996)
A defining early downtempo record that shaped the vibe of the late ‘90s: warm bass, global influences, vinyl textures and that unmistakable cinematic flow.

New review is up on All Trip Hop.

Album cover: Thievery Corporation – “Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi” (1996). A collage-style design with retro colors, abstract shapes and a vintage, cinematic aesthetic.

Its "Un beau rêve" releaseday

song.link/unbeaureve

get my new song at the streaming services or song you are.

#lofi #chill #downtempo #electronic #releaseday #bandcamp #soundcloud

you see my actual cover from "un beau rêve" which is based on a picture from the artist Pamela Colman Smith (1878-1951). The illustration shows a female figure balancing on a fish-like creature and reaching for a large green ball. It is a well-known work of art that allows for various interpretations, often in the context of spirituality, balance or the pursuit of something higher.
