Parabox / Konstantinas

With rainclouds now occupying more of our sky, days shortening and temperatures going down, there is no better way to “medicate” than through music. In the second hour we are joined by Scanner, an alias of Robin Rimbaud, to go an a journey of the music that left the biggest impact on him. Robins output is unique and his concerts are usually a one time experience, due to non linearity of his performances. He has a massive discography, that will keep you entertained long after you finish this episode, and we highly recommend you check it all out. As for the first hour, I have decided to try something else. This will be an hour of soundtracks made for computer games. Recognisable titles and weird indies, ambient, industrial, EBM, all of this and more in todays episode. Make yourself a large cup of tea, get that blanket out and enjoy!

One more show before our summer holidays. This one will make sure we go with a bang. Thomas van Linge, also known as Randstad, joins us with his special influence selection from the Hague artists. Reminiscing about the good times and setting up for some great ones to come. I shall throw in some classics, some recently obtained ones, and just music that you would not play to your grandparents. Hope you enjoy!

Head of ICR and a prolific producer, whose career started back in 1980 - Colin Potter is joining us for his own selection of tracks that are important. Well known for his production of ambient and experimental electronica, Colin brings a different selection, breaking away from his stereotype in the best traditions of Parabox. His selection follows a few tracks that have been stuck with me for some time now.

Vactrol Park members Kyle Martin and Guido Zen take over Parabox this time to take us through the music that matters most to them. Ambient, slow and big synth tracks along with stories and shared experiences is what waits you in the second hour, following a selection from myself.

Parabox is 3 years old now. This is also our 3rd episode on LYL Radio. We decided to celebrate it by playing 3 minute “radio” length tracks, that could have become pop, but never did, from the 80s. Helping us celebrate is your favourite Emotional label owner – Stuart Leath, joining us for the second hour for an influence selection.

Relaunching on LYL Radio! Post summer vibes including an influence selection from one of the hottest players in the scene right now - Curses. Track list at http://lyl.live/episode/parabox/

Getting very warm out there already. Trenton Chase, therefore, comes at the perfect time. Producing cold wave, minimal, electronic sounds to warm our hearts up even further.

He is half of a very well known label June Records, releases of which often demand prices well beyond the retail on Discogs. He is also half of Manie Sans Délire, a project looking back at what we missed many years ago, yet reimagined for the times we live in.

Being minimal/wave listeners, we are looking forward to this influence selection. As usual, in the second part of the show, straight after some new and old, known and forgotten music from our HQ

Rising temperatures are starting to melt our cold hearts. The only way to celebrate this for us is to bring you a company of two talented producers. Laura and Andrea are part of an exciting project, probably already well known to you - As Longitude. You probably also know Andrea as Eva Geist, who has just released a phenomenal album full of minimal electronic gems and ambient experiences.

As Longitude have release a 5 track EP on Knekelhuis, which is in very short supply even on reseller websites and demands a bit of an investment. Blauer Part is a fantastic collection of well balanced minimalism, sound design and experimentation. I really hope they are working on the next release, or better yet, a full album. You could have also seen a track on the MMODEMM compilation and the first Eine Welt release. Of course there is also a mixtape released on Sameheads. If you can get your hands on one, it is highly recommended. It is also available on Soundcloud, for those who prefer digital.

We are back in Sameheads in Berlin for this recording. Huge thanks to the Sameheads team for their hospitality, we could not have done without you!

As Longitude take over the second hour of our show to talk about their influences, right after some fresh and forgotten music.

2015 has seen the release of a magical album. A symbiosis of guitar music, electronics and ambient sounds. Some are "pop" enough to be played on the commercial radios, but we all know what is the situation with those nowadays and why quality music usually is skipped on mainstream radio. Don't know about you, but 3 years later that first album still sounds fresh and definitely is very memorable.

Die Wilde Jagd return this year with a brand new album, pushing it even further. It is sometimes hard to establish if it was meant for mass consumption or club use. I guess the best thing is that some tracks work for both worlds equally. The album is out April 6th.

We went to Berlin, and with the help of Nathan and Gareth recorded Sebastian from Die Wilde Jagd in one of the brightest venues in the city - Sameheads. Probably already well known to you for their magical parties and their unforgettable mixtape series. Sebastian joins our series to discuss his influences - music that inspired him and the new album in particular.
