Shellshocked Radio Music Recommendations

Hello Guys,  today one recommendation from the great  @Paradise Lost    I have a very "special" connection to the Song "Disappear" and can hardly be objective here, but nevertheless, I really think you should check it out here:   https://youtu.be/s8vFrZolxU4  here:   https://open.spotify.com/track/2JzwJllCgVPXtcr9ZYphS4?si=8ec3626b06b945c1  and of course, he...

Today Alex and I talk about the routines you need to set up to get things done and be able to progress.  My philosophical take on it is that you really should know yourself and how to work best, because there is no "one size fits all" approach to achieve a happy equilibrium with your work life balance. I know, for example, that I work in "bursts" sometimes I do no music for two weeks, and the...

Hey Folks,  just a short shout out to Seabound's "Without You", which you can find here:   https://youtu.be/DgqWGPTBfAk  here:   https://open.spotify.com/track/5jWiqgNFX6nFOUKjW9CXfd?si=a9baadb371a54ae8  and of course, here:   https://hypeddit.com/link/griyke  Hailing from my "Home World" Germany, Seabound seem criminally underrated. But are making very good Synt...

Tonight I had the great pleasure to get to know Otus Hobst from Prague, the Mastermind and founder of the Band "Minority Sound".  The Band was in the beginning heavily influenced by early works of Peter Tätgren's "Pain" Project, but found its own sound now, which is Death Metal, including growls, and electronic techno music, in the, as I think, perfect mix. Check out my favorite song "Toxin":...

Hey Folks,   today I'm absolutely biased as I'm recommending the song "Shine on" from  @The House Of Love  to you:   https://youtu.be/rxUv79hejRU I was 8 or 9 years old when I have heard the song for the first time and it stuck with me since then. I rediscovered it later first through  @ApoptygmaBerzerkBand  and their real superb version:   https://youtu.be/qNxOu...

Today Alex and I talk about the Skill set you need to survive as an Indie Artist.  We talk about Authenticity, Creativity, long term goals & how to use your (limited) time most efficiently.  We talk about Marketing options and other ways to promote yourself besides having a Label or a Promotion Agency of course.   Music from 2nd Accident:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/3z...

Hey Folks,    Once again a song bordering on perfection. So short and so epic. Clocking in under 3 minutes it is so concise & to the point. It is a symphonic pop song par excellence. Clearly not overstaying its welcome, but to the point, never boring always engaging, with great use of dynamics and ... of course the great vocals of Clémentine Delauney.  I can put this one in a lo...

Tonight I had loads of fun talking with Dimi Kaye from Greece.  He does Synth Wave Music but puts his very own spin on it as he also incorporates heavy guitars into his mixes.  We talk about things an indie artist should know about promoting him or herself and that the most important thing is to genuinely connect with people.  Reach out and be nice, is the simple advice here. Don't...

I want to highly recommend the Song "Unfair" by Deleo:   https://youtu.be/djXW9niQOF0  https://open.spotify.com/track/5ZPAKoURLqXP67GufOxO5B?si=8e9b26d7dde346b7  and of course, here:   https://hypeddit.com/link/griyke  This is such a delicate and well made song, bordering on perfect. Nothing is too much, nothing too little, a perfect balanced song,  close to perfectio...

This Morning I had the pleasure to talk with Pale Leagues from Melbourne.  His music has lots of influences from Black Metal to Darkwave, so it falls right into the categories & genres I like, even though we both agree that Labeling everything is a double edged sword, and I'd rather call hie music "Genre fluid".  So far he has released 3 Songs on his own, but will re-release and re-m...

Hello Guys,   I realized that it sometimes not really clear what kind of music I like and why. I guess for the "normal" consumer of my (Radio) Shows it does not really matter, but for artists and musicians, who want to send me their music, it can be helpful to know what I like, why I like it and what I look for.  So here we go now and I start a new series explaining myself better.  ...

Today I had the pleasure to get to know Octi from Octagramophone.  He originally hails from Mexico but lives now in Toronto. We talk about his musical journey and his former band experiences, as well as his "creation" moment as a Solo Artist.  We also bond over our taste in music as well as having almost similar influences and idols ... Just "J-Pop" is where I draw a line ... ;)   H...

Heute konnte ich mit Kessi und Leonhard von der Band "Darkness Surrounding" sprechen.   Wir reden über die Entstehungsgeschichte der Band, einer sehr glücklichen Fügung und erfahren warum sie von Anfang an so Professionell klingen und wer Sie dabei unterstützt hat.  Wir reden über Ihre Idole und kleine Missgeschicke vom ersten Auftritt, sowie über Ihr neues Album, welches dieses Jahr ers...

Tonight I spoke with Matt Boroff, a quite accomplished and seasoned musician, about his Solo Project under his own name.  He was born and raised in the United States, and cut his teeth there, but lives now in Austria (not very far from me ... ;)  We talk about the way he makes his music, setting imaginary deadlines & the Artwork he creates for his releases.  We touch on censorsh...

Hello Guys,  as I've changed my working hours and my daily structure, I became more productive all of the sudden, just my running mate friend is a bit unhappy as I go now for a jog at a different time. I have to fix a little issue with my brother in music (check out Simplefixty https://www.youtube.com/user/simplefixty )  which is hopefully done soon and found out that I'm apparently, at...

This Morning I had the great pleasure to talk with a seemingly relaxed Marc about his Project "Buzz Kull".  He intensely has toured Europe with it, as it is where his music is mostly appreciated (we Europeans know what is good ... ;)  His music is hard to classify, this is a great thing, as I think, but it falls a bit into the Darkwave / Minimal Synth & Post Punk realm, if we need to...

Da "NFT's" scheinbar gerade DER Hype sind & schon als Rettung der Kunstszene in einer digitalen Welt angepriesen werden, habe ich meinen Freund Jens Kubieziel in meine Sendung eingeladen, da er sich mit soetwas auskennt und Ihn gebeten mir, und meinen Hörern / Zuschauern zu erklären, was es damit auf sich hat.  Ich kenne Jens schon einige Jahre, seit 2016 machen wir eine Radiosendung &nbs...

Tonight I had the pleasure to meet Martyn and talk with him about his Project "Amphisbaena".   We talk about his influences and about different mindsets and facets of your personality and when to amplify what.  We both really like Tool and Faith No More / Mike Patton, so we get onto common ground quite soon. He describes how he writes music and how he finds singers and musicians to sing...

I just talked with my friend Jens about NFT's as they seem currently a great hype in the musical / arts community.  If you are interested what they all are about, here is our talk (in German)   https://youtu.be/ibbasSzQ3iA   We both are hosting the radio show / podcast "Radio (In)Security for 5 years together, where we address security themes, trends and developments in and around t...

Today, Alex and I talk about his newly created Radio Show:   https://www.mixcloud.com/2ndaccident/2nd-accident-radio-ep0/  and how he went about it.   We talk about being consistent and also what NOT to do when you wanna get on the good side of a Radio Show and / or Playlist Curator ;)   Music from 2nd Accident:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/3z7SqkiYiwCDC7XYviFVJa?si=t1...

Tonight I had the pleasure to talk with Zsuzsa (Sue), the Singer, Lyricist and self described Tiger Mom of the Hellfreaks.  The Band has been around for quite a while now and has re-invented itself numerous times. From its start in Psychabilly over Punk Rock to the current genre fluid sound of Punk, Rock, Pop and Metal with a great female voice.  Zsuzsa reveals how much dedication she in...

Here you can find hi...

Tonight the Band Dark Moon Lilith had time for me. We talked about their formation in Nashville TN & why they left there. We go over their songwriting process, their live experience, Star Struck moments as well their inability to secure a reliable live photographer ;) There is more music coming up in 2021 and the band eagerly awaits the world to un-pause, so that they can play (real) live show...
