Tune in every Monday night from 9pm (UK time) for an hour or two of sublime electronic music. It is style and genre agnostic, taking in any form of music that leans into synthesizers, modular and electronica. The idea is to spend some time intentionally listening to electronic music, immersing ourselves in how people generate electronic sounds and broadening our tastes. With each track I will offer my opinion as a person wanting to learn and perform more.
The show is hosted by BlastRadio.com and is streamed live. It is available for 24 hours and then is gone forever. The app is available on iOS or Android, or you can play it directly in your browser, and can be found through our landing page:
https://blastradio.com/synthpicnic
Each week I hope to offer tracks sent in by listeners in order to showcase and promote electronic artists, and give my thoughts on it. Listeners can also discuss the music (kindly) in our Synth Picnic Radio Discord server – https://discord.gg/425TgH6cP9
To send me tracks please use the form below to send me a link to a wave file (preferred) or MP3 mix. Also, an image/photo and bio to go with it would be brilliant for posting out on socials. I’ll do my best to play it in the next broadcast. Please note that I don’t prelisten to your tracks and I don’t have the time to choose one for you from a Bandcamp link. All I need is an audio file and an Artist name.
