30th Kontrapunkt Radio Show (Continuum #5) September 10, 2015 Announcement

This week I'm strongly behind the schedule, which is why this time the announcement of the next show will be fairly brief.

The subtitle of the program means that I will continue the topics and themes already begun in previous editions. Among others the show will feature "Synthpop Pill no. 2" and next edition of "Lost In Time" section of the show (with tracks by A Sordid Poppy). I have also the next giveaways for my listeners and invitation (double!) to Die Krupps gig in Warsaw prepared.

What else? Traditional handful of news and some older recordings from various shelves.  

Also some very famous voices will sing for us (including Robert Smith of The Cure).

Stay tuned!

29th Kontrapunkt Radio Show (Suspense) September 03, 2015 Announcement

I'd  like to build the upcoming show according to the canon of good thriller movies, that's why it is entitled "Suspense".

Therefore everything will start from the earthquake, will be shock, will be scream and then the tension will only grow, but there will be the moments of calm as well and at the end the destructive and uncompromising attack of mechanized armoured forces will take place.

Again we will meet in "Lost in Time" section where the music  for fans of The Cure will sound, will be new "Synthpop Pill" section (including fragments of a strong candidate for synthpop album of the year), for the first time we will have a look at the lineup of this year's IV Kalisz Ambient Festiwal.

And will be contest for listeners, this time I will give away 3 genuine copies of the new and ATTENTION still not officially released full length album "Alchemy" of Polish band NUN Electro, I know that my listeners have been waiting for.

The program will be filled with the overwhelming majority of new titles and also some still unreleased albums.

Stay tuned! 

Kontrapunkt Radio Show (Ice) August 13, 2015 Announcement

Weather forecasts predict approx. 2 weeks more of tropical conditions here in Poland. This time I will propose to you music, which at least partially should bring a little coolness.

Among other things, there will be a new ethereal music of John Fryer, brand new single by Philippe Laurent, the latest recordings from Maciek Szymczuk, fresh music by Andrzej "Andy" Turaj known to you from God's Own Medicine and whose music has been highly regarded by listeners, who along with Rafal Tomaszczuk (earlier in Polish synthpop band Agonised by Love) will release a new record as Hidden by Ivy on September 4th. (4AD alert!). Certainly Edward Ka-Spel will appear and his story about rats and pigs which did not fit week ago and there will be of course several new recordings more.

In addition, the promised competition (for fans of synthpop) and by the special request of many of you Minuit Machine will return. The next meeting of "Lost in time" this time will cover the lost project connected personally with the group Tangerine Dream but sounding surprisingly different.

Stay tuned!

Kontrapunkt Radio Show (Inventory) July 23, 2015 Announcement

I finally decided to carry out the little clean-up and play for you the titles that have been politely waiting their turn for some time. Stylistically from gothic through minimal synth, film music and dark ambient. There will be mainly releases from this year.

In "Lost In Time" album recorded in 1986 by the American quartet formed by young musicians fascinated by the sounds of Factory and 4AD.

Two genuine copies of the Atomzero "Symbiosis" CD are waiting to be given away during the program.

I will also invite you to Combichrist concert, which will take place on August 5, 2015 in Progresja club in Warsaw (invitation for someone of you with accompanying person has been already waiting).

Stay tuned! 

 

 

Kontrapunkt Radio Show July 09, 2015 Announcement

The subtitle of the program ("water") refers to the fluid, without which it would be difficult to imagine our existence, especially in such hot weather we experience recently. Thus, in the first part of our meeting streams of water will flow...

Again I will invite you to MPM "Ambient Festival 2015" in Gorlice Poland which will take place this Friday and Saturday. One double invitation is waiting for someone of you.
On the show tracks by projects from current festival line-up Ebauche, Aquavoice and the brightest star of the festival Pieter Nooten will be presented. I also have free Aquavoice CDs for listeners. 

What else? During the show I will also play some new tracks including another Dave Middle's band - Black Buttercups and fantastic brand new Bad Sector.

I don't forget that July 11th we will be celebrating the 35 anniversary of one of the greatest electronic album of so called "new romantic" movement. Relevant songs will also be air played.

Next episode of "Lost In Time" will bring back Sudeten Creche tracks.
 
Stay tuned!

Kontrapunkt Radio Show June 25, 2015 Announcement

The beginning of the show will be dedicated to James Horner, who suddenly and tragically passed away last Monday. His music was and still is important not only for me but I am sure has been important for all of you as well. 

Next minutes will be filled with the new tracks by artists connected to 4AD years ago.

After melancholic and rather calm start the main part of the show will be much more dynamic because after quite disappointing listening to the Lindermann "Skills In Pills" album (in fact I think it is one of the weakest release this year) I would like to present few industrial metal releases to show that fans of hard hitting music are not condemned only for new music by Rammstein vocalist and Hypocrisy's Peter Tägtgren duet.
 
Last minutes is reserved for darkwave and dark ambient (hopefully the time will let me play some tracks also in these genres).
 

In "Lost In Time" series the last meeting with Mittageisen with giveaways for listeners. Stay tuned!

Kontrapunkt Radio Show June 18, 2015 Announcement

This time the show will be almost with brand new releases only but "Lost In Time" section also will appear (next meeting with Mittageisen and their only LP from 1983).

In "ever green" part of the show we will listen to the tracks by Yello and Severed Heads.

I have for you 9 different releases to present including few prior to their street dates.
There will be tracks by Red Sun Revival, Volkova, Nils Frahm, Qluster and more. If time allows Atrium Carceri will be played as bonus at the end of the show.

Also two competitions with giveaways for listeners - for good synthpop and electronic cold wave fans. Stay tuned!

Kontrapunkt Radio Show May 14, 2015 Announcement

I'm inviting you to the 13th edition of Kontrapunkt Radio Show. Hopefully it will not be a bad sign.
This Thursday dark ambient, experimental or noise will not be presented but hey, don't worry - these genres will surely be back soon. 
This time only codes for Cold Therapy (fine Polish dark electro act) newest album will be given away so listeners who had no chance to get them last week will have a second chance.
First hour will be filled by sounds created by synths so new romantic or synth pop fans should be satisfied.
Dave Gahan will begin then we meet Midge Ure again and then duet sounding like new Ultravox will appear.
Also first edition of "Lost In Time" - part of the show dedicated to often forgotten bands from the past will be presented.  
Next hour will be for new releases including the best gothic album of the year (in my opinion of course). We still have few months to go but as it's the best gothic release in many years so it will be hard to bit, also new Engelsstaub will be played. 
Stay tuned!
