Event Horizon – Now available on all streaming platforms

Nadine — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 11:00:00 +0000

As many of you requested this Bandcamp-only release Event Horizon to be published on all streaming platforms, we made it happen. My studio album “Event Horizon” consists of ten dark and progressive electro songs and will be the last electronic album for quite a while. “Event Horizon” is just made for a grim science fiction film taking place in the deepest unknowns of space. Read this article, to understand what inspired me for this album. My deep dive into sound design led to an industrial sound, that sets the stage for dark electro, hard trance and hard house songs. Another sources of inspiration were science fiction films, especially cyberpunk. For me, publishing “Event Horizon” to streaming platforms is also a letter to say goodbye to electronic music. You can find “Event Horizon” on all platforms now. Today at 8pm Central European Time, I’m hosting a Bandcamp Listening Party. Clicking on the picture will lead you to YouTube, where I uploaded a small preview of each song.

When The Sun Goes Down now available on all streaming platforms

Migrating my discography is a huge project. I am happy to have re-released my second album, “When The Sun Goes Down” – a multi-genre album between pop and trance. “When The Sun Goes Down” holds a special place in my heart, because it contains my very first pop songs. Many of you just know me as an electronic music producer, but I’m more than that. On this album, I showcase my ability to write pop songs and lyrics. I worked with several musicians from Germany to record vocals and guitar tracks for the second half of the album. As many years passed, since “When The Sun Goes Down” was originally released, I was not able to contact all people involved. The streaming version has a slightly different tracklist. “Breathing Rush”, “Sore” and “Autumnal” could not be published as they are technically remixes. The song “Daylight means endeavour” had to be replaced by its instrumental version “Beauty of Melancholy”. Bandcamp is the only place where you can listen and get the full version of the album – but all other songs are on the streaming version. We also published many singles, including unheard acoustic and instrumental versions. Many thanks to all people who have been involved on this album! You can find a preview video on YouTube. It features the tracklist of the Bandcamp version. I just scheduled a Bandcamp listening party today, 8pm CEST (Berlin time). Please tune in, I’m happy to chat with you!

Nightflight – The album on the floppy disk

Nadine — Fri, 02 May 2025 07:15:00 +0000

A few months ago, I found a full album of MIDIs on a floppy disk. I wrote these songs in 2004 and completely forgot about them, when I got my first DAW. Now I turned these gems into full production. An album full of dream house and dream dance nostalgia from the 1990s. I found a floppy disc with a full album I could not believe my eyes and ears, when I found a floppy disk with an album full of songs from 2004. It has been a bit of an adventure to borrow a floppy disk drive and load all these projects into my music software. 9 of 12 MIDI files were fully arranged songs that only lacked of proper instrumentation and production. The other songs were loops that went nowhere, but this is fine for me. If you ever wondered how it all started – here is a screenshot from Anvil Studio, a free MIDI software, similar to the one I used to create music. My Facebook community encouraged me to give my fully disk album a second chance and fully produce them, though I told myself to step away from electronic dance music as I do not identify with it for many years already. Producing these songs were a tough journey through my early teenage years, where I listened to dream house and trance music all day. These melodies are simple and catchy, and far away from the complex and dark music I write today. It has been worth the ride, because my discography feels complete. Also, I am very happy with the result. The meaning behind the cover and title At first, I considered the original floppy disk to be the cover of the album, but I did not enjoy the association with 8bit music. So I decided to take a shoot from the airport, where my musical journey started. The title “Nightflight” is a nod to one of my favourite songs that I listened on my first flight, and that inspired me to start with music. Can you guess the song? My floppy disc album Nightflight is available now “Nightflight” is now available on all streaming platforms. YouTube will join later. I highly encourage you to support the album on Bandcamp, because that’s where indie artists receive 85% of the revenue and not some lousy 0.003 cents per listen. Tomorrow night, I will host a Bandcamp listening party. Hope to see you there!

Aeronaut – Synthwave meets dream dance

Nadine — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

My upcoming album “Nightflight” will be released on May 2nd. As a warm-up, I decided to publish “Aeronaut” as the second single. This song is a blend of synthwave and dream dance, that will make you dive through the sky. Last week, I introduced my song “Nocturnal” and its incredible journey from a floppy disk. Another favourite song from my upcoming album is “Aeronaut”. Synthesizers from the 80s meet beats from the 90s. This nostalgic journey feels like a long flight, which is why I called this song “Aeronaut”. I asked some of my remix friends to contribute a remix, and DJ Kenneth A, who did an awesome remix to “What I’ve been missing” said yes. His remix pushes my song into a very cinematic direction, I absolutely love it. Today, I am lucky to announce that “Aeronaut” is now available on streaming services and in my Bandcamp subscription. I highly encourage you to pre-save my album “Nightflight” either on streaming services or on Bandcamp. I will also host a Bandcamp listening party on May 3rd, around 8pm CEST. Please come, if you want to chat with me about the background of all these songs.
