THE FANTOM MAN – Transcend (Ft. St3v3L33)
4.00 Another immersive and atmospheric instrumental from electro wizard The Fantom Man, who’s a veteran of this playlist and regularly reviewed on Neil’s Trust The Doc blog. Here TFM collaborates with St3v3L33 (Worthing musician Steve Peck) who sounds in places as if he’s channelling whalesong through his tenor sax. Once again, a no-brainer for this week’s Eclectic Picks.

I Can't Remember

A look back that helps to move forward – a quiet farewell and a silent new beginning.

* * *

On my journey, I can see,
All the things I leave behind me.
The weight I carried starts to fall,
I’m moving on, I’m standing tall.

I’ve been searching deep inside,
Through the shadows, through the fight.
All I find is peace for myself,
A quiet place where I can dwell.

It’s a journey to myself,
Through my life, through my hell.
Every step, I feel alive,
It’s a journey, and I survive.

From life to death, from dust to dust,
A fragile line, but I’m learning to trust.
Each step reveals another truth,
The end’s a start, a moment of faith

It’s a journey to myself,
Through my life, through my hell.
Every step, I feel alive,
It’s a journey, and I survive.

A journey

A Journey

Sturmfrau – "STURMTRIP" is an electrifying journey through Berlin’s underground, where pulsating beats, flickering neon, and raw emotions collide. Blending kraut-electronica, synthpunk, and dark techno, the album captures the chaos, euphoria, and solitude of the city’s nightlife.

"Neonherz" sets the tone with a hypnotic tale of fleeting love in the glow of neon lights, while "Bier & Bass" is a euphoric anthem of endless nights, lost in rhythm and hedonism. "404 Liebe" distorts digital heartbreak into a glitchy, robotic lament, exploring the loneliness of a world where connections disappear with a click.

Then comes "Druck!", a relentless sonic rush, embodying the high-speed intensity of a night spiraling out of control. "Schattenstadt" slows things down, drifting through Berlin’s ghostly streets, caught between reality and dream. Finally, "Letzter Zug nach Neukölln" closes the journey with a melancholic, poetic ride into the unknown, suspended between night and dawn.

Dark, pulsating, and intoxicating, "STURMTRIP" is the soundtrack of a Berlin that never sleeps.
