40th Kontrapunkt Radio Show (PL) November 12th, 2015 Announcement

On Thursday November 12th, 2015, the day after Wednesday's celebration of November 11th which is the Independent Day in Poland, I will air another selection of tracks on Rock Service FM in Kontrapunkt Radio Show.

This will be the edition 7 of season 2 entitled "PL".

The first hour will be filled with new sounds, including one release awaited by many, one awaited also by me and several more. You will get a lot of gothic music, including second part of the split story of The Danse Society, which has resulted in yet another album this year. The whole will be spiced with a pinch of the (old) new romantic. 
Patriotically in the second hour I'll present you tracks created here, on the banks of Vistula River, not necessarily very young, this year's recordings also will appear.

I have also prepared for you new giveaways - 3 genuine copies of "Drachma" by your favourite Polish band God's Own Medicine and the invitations to the concert Diary of Dreams (DE) with special guest The Beauty of Gemina (CH) in Warsaw.
Stay tuned!

Dave Gahan & Soulsavers "Angels & Ghosts" album of the week on Rock Serwis FM

Dave Gahan & Soulsavers "Angels & Ghosts" album of the week on Rock Serwis FM radio. It means presentation of selected tracks every day from November 9th to November 13th, 2015 twice a day - at 10.01 (UTC+01:00) and replay at 17.01 (UTC+1:00). No podcast. Stay tuned!

39th Kontrapunkt Radio Show (Destruction) November 5th, 2015 Announcement

The next edition of the program Kontrapunkt will be on the air on Thursday at 21.00 on Rock Serwis FM radio. It so happened that most of the tracks prepared this time for you to be presented will touch the major contemporary topics related to the war, suffering and the ecological destruction of our planet so that's the reason for such subtitle of the show.

Kontrapunkt will be filled with mainly new songs, including a pre-premiere of the latest album of the Swedish band, which is very important for me personally. In the 80s it was an undiscovered jewel in our country despite the huge popularity of the minor synth music. For the first time for 29 years they recorded the album as a trio, and again this is an outstanding album. Besides, among others, Killing Joke, Dave Gahan, John Foxx, Schonwald and several other more or less well-known performers.
I will remind you also recordings of the great Test Dept, which this Saturday will perform in Wroclaw.

Stay tuned!

DJ Sets with 80's wave music (but not only)

Every Tuesday on Rock Serwis FM I do a special DJ Set mixing mainly 80's synth and wave music. It's on air at 14.00 (UTC+01:00) and is 60 minute long.

All DJ Set playlists will be published here on "DJ Set Playlists" page of this blog.
Enjoy!

38th Kontrapunkt Radio Show (Halloween) October 29nd, 2015 Announcement

The next edition of Kontrapunkt Radio Show will be marked by Halloween so the relevant tracks will be presented.
This time not so many new compositions will appear (only a few tracks from 2015), and although Halloween is mainly fun, in this case I will focus on building a mood of horror. And a spirit of CMI will be wandering among us ...
Stay tuned!

Kolejna edycja programu Kontrapunkt upłynie pod znakiem Halloween. Pojawią się stosowne do okoliczności nagrania.
Tym razem nowych kompozycji będzie niewiele (kilka tegorocznych utworów jednak się także pojawi) i choć Halloween to głównie zabawa w tym wypadku skupię się na budowaniu nastroju grozy. A duch CMI będzie błądził wśród nas..

I will also remind you about Paul Vincent Raven due to the 8th anniversary of his death which was on last Tuesday.

36th Kontrapunkt Radio Show (Continuum #6) October 15th, 2015 Announcement

Again late announcement of 36th Kontrapunkt Radio Show.

The program will be filled mostly with the new recordings although, according to the subtitle there will be primarily the artists who have already visited my show on Rock Serwis FM. 
Everything starts with the soundtrack music and will end by the group Swans recently requested by the listeners. 

Also in accordance with the wishes expressed by listener last week Freakangel will return with concert recordings which was not included lately. There will be also new music by Haujobb and Wire and slightly older Current 93. I will not reveal more to leave a tinge of surprise.

Besides all of the above we will spend several minutes with Polish band Dusseldorf and I will have for you 2 copies of their very interesting album "1989-1993" containing archival recordings. On this occasion, I will remind you about the IV Kalisz Ambient Festival, Dusseldorf will take part in this year.

Thanks to Andrzej Turaj from Hidden By Ivy I will be also giving away special "treats" to the HBI fans during the program. What will it be? Listen to Kontrapunkt on Thursday from 21:00 live on Rock Serwis FM.

Stay tuned!

Program wypełnią w większości nagrania z premierowych płyt choć zgodnie z podtytułem spotkamy się głównie z artystami, którzy już gościli na antenie RS FM.

Wszystko rozpocznie ilustracyjna muzyka filmowa a zakończy grupa Swans, a której nagrania ostatnio prosili słuchacze.
Także zgodnie z życzeniem wyrażonym przez słuchaczkę w zeszłym tygodniu powrócą koncertowe nagrania Freakangel, które nie zmieściły się ostatnio. Ponadto pojawi się m.in. nowa muzyka Haujobb oraz Wire a także nieco starszy Current 93. Więcej nie zdradzę by pozostał chociaż cień niespodzianki.

Poza tym kilkanaście minut spędzimy z nagraniami polskiego zespołu Dusseldorf i będę miał dla Was 2 egzemplarze ich bardzo interesującej zawierającej nagrania archiwalne płyty "1989-1993". Przy tej okazji przypomnę Wam o IV Kalisz Ambient Festiwal, na którym Dusseldorf wystąpi w tym roku.

Fanom Hidden By Ivy za sprawą nieocenionego Andrzeja Turaja z HBI będę także rozdawał podczas programu specjalne "smakołyki". Co to będzie? Słuchajcie Kontrapunktu w czwartek od godziny 21.00 na żywo na antenie Rock Serwis FM.

33rd Kontrapunkt Radio Show (Post Scriptum) September 30th, 2015 Announcement

Tonight the additional edition of Kontrapunkt Radio Show will be aired on Rock Serwis FM, making a kind of post scriptum to the first season of the show. The second season will begin  tomorrow on Thursday October 1st, 2015.

The program will feature tracks that were not fortunate enough to be on earlier editions of Kontrapunkt or were planned to be, but time did not allow to air them. This time it will be this year's electronic music only (mostly instrumental recordings), with one exception though.

Among other artists, in this edition Juno Reactor, Conrad Schnitzler and ... Steven Wilson will be air played. And what is an obvious thing this week - John Foxx will open the show.

Stay tuned!
