Kosmisch

This selection is a curated journey through krautrock, space rock, ambient, and avant-garde electronic music spanning over five decades. It anchors itself in classic 1970s German Kosmische Musik (cosmic music), featuring foundational icons like Popol Vuh, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Harmonia, Neu!, and Can, alongside psychedelic space travellers Gong and Hawkwind. This vintage backbone seamlessly blends with early electronic innovators like Conrad Schnitzler and Silver Apples, stretching all the way to modern torchbearers who carry the hypnotic, rhythmic mantle. Contemporary inclusions like Caribou, Beak>, Darkside, Moon Duo, and the 2024 sounds of Tendaji/Donje showcase the enduring influence of the motorik beat and expansive sonic textures. Shifting smoothly from cinematic ambient soundscapes to driving, rhythmic grooves and deep psych-rock explorations, this mix offers a cohesive, hypnotic listening experience that bridges historical experimentalism with fresh modern production.
