New Music Release Uzun Havalar by Anadol Anadol's third album, Uzun Havalar, recorded on tape by Kinship Records, is now available online and cassette format.  Uzun Havalar by Anadol Recorded and mixed in 2015 the album is built around three long synth tracks referring to the improvised unmetric folk songs “ uzun hava ” in middle eastern music.  You can hear drummers laughing and playing guitars, composers howling, screaming, record collectors playing synths, actors mumbling and tuning in to the geography of Anadol's synth compositions.  Anadol is a traditional continuation of lone synth experimentalists like Bruce Haack and The Space Lady with their childlike curiosity for electronic sounds, pushing the boundaries of minimal equipment. Composed, performed, recorded, produced and mixed by Anadol at Tempelhof Studios 2015. Mastering by Martin Bartscher.  Görünmez Hava  Voice: Suphi Sökücü  Additional Synthesizers: Emir Özer...

ANNÆLIX is a Copenhagen based techno&house DJ and musicproducer, home-made creator and event organiser. Her DJ sets are rhythmic, tribal and bass-filled combined with some punching and playful surprises.

Her own productions are mainly house inspired, including elements of sub-genres of house, deep house and electronica - a journey through lighty-pumped synthesizer and bass-filled universes.

Omerar Nanda - Huma Kusu (Ipek Ipekcioglu Remix) Omerar Nanda - Huma Kusu by KYBELE A mythical creature of Iranian legends and fables, the Huma bird is also a common motif in Sufi and Diwan poetry. Although there are many legends about this bird, common to all is that the Huma is said never to land on the ground, and instead lives its entire life flying invisibly high above the earth.  Omerar Nanda's "Huma Kusu" takes its inspiration from an old Anatolian folk song. Once upon a time in Turkey, there were two passionate lovers: Mustafa and Gülbahar. The day after their wedding, the state called all young men of the country to the military. Mustafa left home, knowing that maybe he would never see Gülbahar again. Years passed, no news of Mustafa arrived. His family lost all hope. Gülbahar went out to the garden every morning and waited for his return. With each passing day, she cried and cried, until her tears dried up. Heartbroken by this loss, Mustafa’s father...

NMR Artist Spotlight: Electronica Artist Dmitriy Nelepin Album Planet X ABOUT DMITRIY NELEPIN When he was young he was very fond of the Rockets band and it inspired him to start making music. In his music, he uses synthesizers but dose not just take templates and makes his own sound. Therefore his music is different from the others and makes his music extraordinary. Dmitriy plans to release another music album next year. I will attach his photos. If you have any questions feel free to ask them.   The album will be called "The Universe". Most of the songs will be about the cosmos. The fact that the Cosmos is very majestic and beautiful. And we humans are part of this universe but we forgot about it. 

READ THE FULL ARTICLE:  Open Your Ears to Electronic Dance Music (EDM) The EDM Family Tree It is not surprising that we find the beginnings of dance music in the tripping 1970s  disco  halls. The genre, long associated with drug culture, provided the soundtrack to a generation that was fresh out of the political turmoil of the sixties and was now deeply embedded in drinking, recreational drug use, and all-night dancing. Although disco’s popularity died by the 1980s, some of its musical innovations – like the use of synthesizers –  formed the pulse of later genres like  house ,  electro , and  techno . Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” was heavy on the synthesizers and strong beat:

Electronica Master Michael Klug Talks About his  Music and Inspiration:  What Inspires Your Music? What inspired this album was I went through a break up with my longtime girlfriend that completely devastated me. She cheated and lied and then cut me out of her life out the blue. I had moved to be closer to her and I didn't have any friends in the city where I lived so after we split I was completely alone. On top of marijuana induced delusions and paranoia, I was suicidal, alone and heart broken. I've always had a passion for electronic music so I decided to make some myself as a means of catharsis.   I don't know if I'd say my music is extraordinary but I would definitely say it's different. I aimed to put all of my pain and personality into these songs but at the same time maintain listenability. The album doesn't take itself very seriously as I tried to have an air of playfulness. The listener can choose not to take the music seriously and leave i...

NMR Artist Spotlight: The Blue Hour  The Blue Hour blends dream pop, synth wave, and industrial with hints of psychedelia, folk, and electronica to create hauntingly beautiful songs, focusing on texture and rhythm and discord ... and magic. What inspires your music? What is your story? The Blue Hour’s new album, “Always,” is a tale of romance and loss and finding magic in the most unexpected places. It is Marselle and my story. She and I met many years ago as teenagers. She was homeless, living on the streets of Seattle. I soon followed. We drifted from the glitz of dance clubs to the squalor of abandoned houses, sleeping in door stoops, church yards, or curled on a hot-air vent in the shadow of a grand gothic building on the university campus. And the whole time Marselle sang, filling those neglected spaces with an ethereal beauty, singing Kate Bush or Nina Hagen note-perfect. It wasn’t desperate however. Everywhere we went, we created a fantastic world. Even th...
