It’s been a busy month again outside the music scene and with so many promos coming our way, decided that in the time we had between other projects would compile & release together two separate editions for November, giving us a breather for our last sessions of the year in December. The first podcast, no 221, features melodic uptempo music, progressive, sequential & energetic, with Berlin School-influenced tracks to round off a storming set of sequencing heaven for some of you. In the s...

Ten years ago, our podcasts were released on iTunes. We’ve had many requests from listeners who didn’t use iTunes, saying they would like to hear early shows not available on any of the music sites we published on now (Soundcloud is popular). Your voices have been answered with the very first edition. Over time we will bring the missing podcasts up to date on those websites. Sequences was born out of the demise of the very first UK Electronic music audio magazine, Inkeys and the short-lived Synt...

Ron Boots is among the most engaging Electronic Musicians ever exporting music from The Netherlands. Since the late 1980s, his work has been rooted in the Berlin School yet reaches far beyond the basic fundamentals of the genre. Combining elements of Contemporary Instrumental, Film Soundtracks and Spacemusic, Boots' music moves easily between the mainstream and the cosmic. In 1995, together with Kees Aerts, Ron founded the well-respected Groove Unlimited label. This was initially a vehicle for R...
