I don’t know if you are really waited for this, but we are again late this month (and I think we will be also for the next), anyways here it is now. This time I recognized a lot of labels in this show which are already alive for a while but haven’t been in the podcast seldom or even are now for the first time at all, plus some newcomers, one which came back from the dead and – of course – some of the usual suspects. As always: hopefully entertaining!
Well, well, well. I have some full-packed times right now and by all means I even don’t have any time for doing an episode. On the other side I’ve had so many wonderful music on my hard drive for weeks now only waiting to be heard by our fellow listeners. So this was made as a quick shot (again!) – which you surely will discover by all the mistakes I have made in the moderation. Anyways, forgive me and enjoy the music: Starts with more Punk / Rock as usual, goes e. g. to Romanian Wedding Polka mixed with Drum n‘ Bass to Classic Hard Bop Jazz over Abstract HipHop & to the beauty chants of broken machines… and so on.
Unfortunately I haven’t found the time for a regular podcast this month (although I have had enough excellent music for it), anyways – instead of it now a new mix from my Aqual(o)unge series. More or less a quick shot (in the making) which works on a very simple basis: one track goes, next one comes. Therefore you may miss some dramaturgy, but for me it was more important to keep an overall atmosphere of float / flow. So anyways, if you like melodic ambient this one could be something for you.
Happy new year to all listeners of our little show. Again we’re late in this month, but anyways – good music is here to come. This is definitely a beat-driven episode – one thing I want to highlight is the discovery of the KitchenDip label where the last four tracks are taken from. As always: have fun with it and feedback is welcome.
The last episode of this year brings you all kinds of tempi, from ambient to drum n‘ bass. We have a lot of stuff from South and Latin America packed in the show. Should be something to warm you in these cold days…
Two remarkable dates for this episode: We started this thingie here in November 2005, so we have now 5 years of Machtdose Podcast. And during this episode we also present the 1,000th track in the history of the podcast.
So, time for a short retrospection and some statistics. I’m still overwhelmed of the richness, diversity, surprises & vitality of the netlabel scene. Although I don’t play exclusively tracks from netlabels this is still my main focus because I also still believe in the idea of the concept „label“. Therfore I want to thank all artists and especially the label makers for their great work. Here’s not the space to name them all , but I want at least mention some, namely the ones which gave us the most input, that are: 12rec.net (18 times in our show) / Clinical Archives, Maltine Records (14 times) / Dusted Wax Kingdom (13) / Acroplane_Recordings, Corpid, kreislauf (12) / Tropic, monotonik, MiMi Records, Bump Foot, broque, 8bitpeoples (11) / The Poni Republic, Laridae (9) / WM Recordings, Budabeats (8) … and I could lengthen that list to a kilometer, so I have to stop. But you can have this complete (!) list all ever-played tracks (will be constantly updated from now on). So, to all of you, wonderful netlabels & artists out there – mentioned or not -: thank you, thank you, thank you.
What also impresses me is not only the variety of styles and genres you still find, but also that we have collected tracks from a lot of countries, more or less the half of the United Nations, we have had music from artists & labels out of: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republik, Denmark, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Moldova, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, Ukraine, Uruquay, The United States of America and Venezuela. Hello World!
I don’t know if I will do this podcast for another five years, but right at the moment I think: why not. As long as I get so much fantastic music, the chances are not too bad.
This month we have a little delay, because we had first to realize the new & shiny Machtdose Design. Hope you like it! So I’ve done a quick & dirty produced episode which is nevertheless one of the longest ever and full with Popstuff, Techvibes and everything else. Don’t forget to share the thing & we would love to hear your opinion about it…
