Elektronauts Radio

[peterklank]

Some time ago I read a thread about bandcamp fridays, and somebody mentioned we should support each other by buying each others music.
I thought that maybe first we can support each other by listening to each others music and who knows, what happens more when you hear something you really like…

So a while ago I created a soundcloud account for an elektronauts radio, that has playlists of all soundcloud links posted in the “share your tunes” thread. I mainly did this for myself (to listen to when I’m at work), but why not share this for all of us having easy listening acces to elektronauts home brews (or studio finest…)

Here is a quote of my post in the “share your tunes” thread, that explains my thinking and how I make the playlists…

@peterklank

All right, I created the Elektronauts Radio on soundcloud. I first started reposting songs. this was the fastest, and the newer ones are on top of the list. But I discovered that there is some spamming protection on soundcloud, so no more reposting…
So I made a playlist, and started adding there. But on a playlist, the newest additions are at the bottom of the playlist. That’s very annoying… So I created a playlist for every quarter of a year. So the playlists are not too long (100 to 130 tracks each).

First I want to say that I primarily do this for myself. I like listening here, because it actually is the only moment I hear music that I didn’t search for myself. I don’t listen to the radio, and actually I don’t listen to music that much anyway. When I am listening to music on Spotify I find myself easily zapping through songs that I don’t like. For some psychological twist in my brain I am much more curious to music that’s outside my box over here. The reason for soundcloud playlists is that I can listen to al your songs without having to reach for my phone and press play on the next song every time. It navigates much easier than this thread.

Then, of course why not share this with all of you who might like to listen to this pool of music passion as well that’s why I am sharing this. There is also something about listening to each others music and supporting each other, but that’s another discussion for now…

if you search elektronauts radio in soundcloud. the account and playlists are on top or you find it here: Elektronauts Radio | Free Listening on SoundCloud

For those who do take it serious:

• I don’t do this for my own promotion or something like that, this account has no links to me or my artist account
• I add music on automatic pilot. if I missed yours, I am sorry, if it is important to you, send a message… private links are not clickable on the title, so I might have missed songs as well if I didn’t click right.
• when someone posted a playlist or album, I generally took 1 or 2 random songs. I don’t want to have long lists or albums in there. If I like the music, I’ll find the album
• If you post the same song again (in another quarter of the year), I don’t add it to the another playlist. that’s easy to spot when adding a song to a playlist.
• I didn’t add live sets or long recordings (like 20 - 30 minutes live jam or so). maybe I make a playlist only for live sets. but I won’t go through 2020 again…
• Every song posted here (in soundcloud of course) is on the list. I didn’t even listen before adding… every song will stay in the lists, even if I can’t stand 5 seconds of it. it is not my preferenced list…
• this account or playlists absolutely doesn’t replace this thread! there is a lot of good music posted on Bandcamp and youtube. keep listening and supporting each other over here! (I guess if you read this post, you also listen to other’s music over here)
• I don’t go promoting this account or playlist. I only post it or talk about it here. This is for us who listen to each others music over here. maybe this might evolve in the future, but for now it is ment for sharing in this group, not promoting.
