At the stroke of midnight EST on October 9, we celebrate the birth of a visionary — a Beatle, a dreamer, an artist, and a voice for peace: John Winston Lennon.

From the raw energy of “Twist and Shout” to the depth of “Working Class Hero” and the eternal hope of “Imagine,” John’s work continues to inspire, provoke, and unite generations around the globe.

“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”

Celebrate John Lennon with us!

German ambient innovator Mathias Grassow, known for his distinct sound built around electronic drone, passed away on August 13, 2025, in a tragic drowning accident. Over a prolific 45 year career, he released an astounding body of work that invites listeners into profound states of introspection.

Though his music had little commercial appeal, its impact on ambient and drone music was undeniable.

This Sunday, our Time Suspended segment will expand into the second half of the show to honor Grassow’s legacy. Part 1 of Melting World will feature collaborations with Klaus Wiese, Alio Die, Marcel Trenton, and Tomas Weiss. The first half of the program will include Krautrock from Electric Orange and Vibravoid, as well as Part 2 of a live psychedelic-electronic set from Eat Static.

Part 2 of Melting World airs on 9/7/25, during our Deep Drift segment, showcasing some of Mathias’s deepest, most immersive compositions—works that transport listeners into alternative states of reality.
