Happy New Year to all our friends & listeners from the team, Mike, Andy and, of course, our host, Karen. Moving house over Christmas has been a busy time for me.

Just a quick intro: this will be the only edition this month due to being very busy with other projects, but an extended one, covering another hour of diverse electronic sounds. Most of the albums featured are new releases from previous musicians & bands who have over the years been with us on Sequences since our journey started podcasting in 2012. It’s quite a line-up here. We won’t go into detai...

In this 4-hour special, we focus on musicians who have used new modular & vintage synths in their studios, with tracks taken from the 80s to the present day, which have been featured on various editions of our previous podcasts.

With a third of the year already gone by, the so-called pandemic has quietly dropped out from the main media news, but more worrying is the war continuing in Ukraine with no end in sight. As you know, we’ve supported Ukraine & Russian musicians with no malice to the latter, any music from them kept out of the politics of this war. The lineup for this edition is mostly names that have appeared befo...
