  1. Did you at my one point wonder, why in 1982 suddenly German songs like Trio's "Da Da Da" or Nenas "99 Luftballons" entered the international charts and - at least Trio - where slightly unusual?
    From what scene did they emerge from?!

    You may find out during the upcoming

    RADIO IRRTUM! Special. About the NDW that wasn't

    (on air from Berlin)

    Da next issue of
    #RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/08/30, 8:00pm UTC+2, Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

    Why? What is this?

    #Radio Irrtum! is a German language (usually) #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planet's genre spectrum. Don't worry about that German language - it's about the music!

    Well about the latter… not this time! Neither will I talk in German the whole time but mostly in English! Because this matter is too important for the World to know (I think). Nor is this new music. But music mostly from 1979-1981, the small time frame before the "real" Neue Deutsche Welle ("NDW") broke all over, the thing the music industry transformed it into (a cash cow), something completely different compared to what its pioneers intended.

    This is about those pioneers. Sick of art, or progressive rock, and punk they wanted to do something completely off limits, something completely new, something "Anti music" that still somehow was "music". Just so different. A one in a thousand years moment where people tried to get on a different track. A moment that didn't come back since.
    This radio special can only cover the surface of that super diverse scene; a scene agreeing on one thing only: About not doing rock music.
    Which will make this special issue maybe the most complicated, hard to get into Radio Irrtum! show ever. But if you make it, you will be rewarded, yes rewarded, with most unusual concepts in music, with humor in music (yes! - not just in text) and all in all something, you may carry with you for your whole life. If you are open to it. I mean it. I certainly did.

    So: Can you stand it? Are you up to the task?

    One more thing: I've prerecorded this not knowing, that Alfred Hilsberg (Zickzack Label) would leave this planet forever some days later. This show is dedicated to him. Thanks Alfred, for the sonic light you carried.

    I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
    CU all on Saturday! :)

  2. Days are getting shorter. In the afternoon it's so dark now it's hard to see anything at all. But that's nothing 2b worried about if u concentrate on ur hearing. There are so many wonderful noises around u: Don't ignore them! Let 'em shine now! And to get a climax out of all that interesting noise (yes I've said CLIMAX!):
    TURN YOUR RADIO ON!
    'cuz it's time 4…

    Radio Irrtum!

    Oh yes, the upcoming issue of
    #RadioIrrtum! will be aired this Sat., 2024/10/26, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time. Over at Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around Berlin & worldwide at
    https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

    #Radio Irrtum! is a #germanLanguage #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the unheard #underground. It's totally fine to ignore that German language aspect btw – 'cuz it's all about the music!

    I always say it, I always mean it, but Today double that: This show is very special to me. 2 major reasons:

    - A Politics
    - B Interviews.

    Let me explain:

    Politics:
    I'm aware, this radio show is about music. Should stick to that. But in these alarming times I wont. The world is shifting towards the right extreme. So much, that fascist and Nazi ideas are being "normal", even being defended by the mainstream media. Especially (but not only) in Germany. 1933 (the begin of Nazi Germany that let to WWII) is so near I can almost touch it. On top of all go the climate deniers, destroying the planet for their stupid privileges; against all scientific proof.
    Even as a lil' radio host I will use my position to make the people aware about what's going on. I still believe we can do something, but we should do that together:
    If you are a creator on Radio, TV, a YouTube cooking channel or whatnot: Don't be silent. Make people aware!

    #JournalistsAgainstFascism

    B) Interviews:
    For the first time in my radio career there will be
    #interviews:
    Even 2 of them – so long they only fit in partially. So the full length versions of those interviews will be announced after the show in this thread.

    But there is also C and D – watch out!

    C) you'll never guess what will be played:

    - Hannes-Wader style songmaker stuff
    -
    #FrenchPop
    - elevator
    #lofi
    -
    #alternativeHipHop
    -
    #UKG
    -
    #BassTec straight from the #Amiga
    -
    #experimentalBass (interview!)
    -
    #IDM
    -
    #ArtPunk
    -
    #FemalePunk
    -
    #DeathCountry
    - Melancholic
    #SeaWave (interview!)

    The mentioned interviews – so much I can spoil beforehand – will be with Wrighter/Moonbase and Schall und Stille.

    D) All that wouldn't be possible without artists from the Fediverse like:

    I'll post playlist + manuscript + links to the full length interviews later in this thread. Questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!

    CU all on Saturday! :)
