Schon wieder entstand eine "XtraChill"-Episode unter einem gewissen Zeitdruck, denn der liebe Andreas war fünf Tage lang unterwegs, auf einer Recherche-Tour nach Frankfurt am Main und Heidelberg - für seinen Roman! Trotz der knappen Zeit konnte diese Episode doch noch rechtzeitig zum 01. August 2026 produziert und hochgeladen werden - ein "Lidschlagfinale" sozusagen. Das in der vergangenen Ausgabe vorgestellte Label "Roo Rec." bekommt heute mehr Aufmerksamkeit mit einem "Flotten Dreier" - und auch der Rest dieser 466. Folge kann sich hören lassen. Ihr dürft gespannt sein! Once again, an episode of "XtraChill" came together under a fair amount of time pressure, as dear Andreas spent five days away on a "research trip" to Frankfurt am Main and Heidelberg for his novel! Despite the tight schedule, this episode was still produced and uploaded just in time for August 1st, 2026 – a real photo finish, you might say. The net label "Roo Rec.", introduced in the previous edition, receives a lot more attention today with a "triple treat", and the rest of this 466th episode is well worth listening to as well. Stay tuned – there's plenty to look forward to!

Bevor die Hitze wieder erbarmungslos zuschlägt, heute, am 15. Juli 2026, schaufelt der liebe Andreas eine weitere tolle Episode von "XtraChill" auf den Server! Die 465. Playliste lebt von starken Kontrasten, hervorgehoben durch zwei stilistisch sehr unterschiedliche "Flotte Dreier": einmal ein Set mit Minimal House, bereitgestellt von der "Avenue" Label-Gruppe aus Belgien, und einem entspannten Ambient-Paket im Anschluss daran. Drum & Bass und ein Dub-Techno-Stück als Rausschmeißer runden die tolle Musikauswahl ab - wobei es wieder vielen neue Künstlerinnen (!) und Künstler zu entdecken gibt. Viel Spaß! Before the heat strikes mercilessly once again, today, on July, 15th 2026, dear Andreas is shovelling another fantastic episode of XtraChill onto the server! Playlist No. 465 thrives on striking contrasts, highlighted by two stylistically very different "Threesomes": first, a selection of Minimal House courtesy of Belgium's Avenue label group, followed by a wonderfully relaxed Ambient set. Drum & Bass and a Dub Techno closing track round off this excellent musical journey, with plenty of new female artists – and male artists too – waiting to be discovered once again. Enjoy!

Der liebe Andreas hat die vergangene Hitzewelle im Rheinland nur überstanden, weil er rechtzeitig an die deutlich kühle(re) Ostsee entschwunden ist um sich die wunderschöne Stadt Lübeck anzuschauen - eine mehr als weise Entscheidung! Der Hitze im Aufnahmestudio und der Tatsache geschuldet, das für die Produktion dieser 464. Episode von "XtraChill" wenig Zeit zur Verfügung stand, erlebt ihr die aktuelle Playliste heute, am 01. Juli 2026, im "Schnell-Modus" ohne zu viele Moderationen! Eine sehr abwechslungsreicher "Sechserpack" steht dabei im Zentrum des Geschehens, mit insgesamt vier Neuvorstellungen! Dear Andreas only survived the recent heatwave in the Rhineland by making a timely escape to the considerably cooler Baltic coast to explore the beautiful city of Lübeck – a more than wise decision! Owing to the heat in the studio, and the fact that there was very little time available to produce this 464th episode of "XtraChill", today's playlist, on July, 1st 2026, comes to you in "fast mode", with minimal chat between the tracks. Taking centre stage is a wonderfully varied six-track selection, featuring no fewer than four brand-new additions to the pool of artists.

Kurz vor der Sommersonnenwende steht uns eine heiße Woche bevor, ab heute, dem 15. Juni 2026! Da kann entspannende Musikuntermalung nicht schaden, wenn man eine Runde im Schatten dösen will - wie es der liebe Andreas gerne in seiner Hängematte auf dem Balkon tut. Sechs der heute präsentierten Künstler sind Neuvorstellungen, die sich vor allem in zwei "Flotten Dreiern" tummeln. Einer widmet sich ausschließlich der Drum & Bass-Musik und der zweite stellt drei Tracks aus unterschiedlichen Genres der Electronica vor. Wie auch immer: ihr kommt alle auf Eure Kosten mit dieser 463. Episode von "XtraChill". Garantiert! With the summer solstice just around the corner, we're in for a hot week starting today, on June 15th, 2026! That makes some relaxing background music all the more welcome when you're dozing away in the shade – just as dear Andreas likes to do in his hammock on the balcony. Six of today's featured artists are making their first appearance on the show, most of them turning up in two special "threesomes". One is devoted entirely to Drum & Bass, while the other brings together three Electronica tracks from different corners of the genre. Whatever your musical tastes, there's something here for everyone on this 463rd episode of "XtraChill". Guaranteed!

Die "Karnevalsflucht" ins leider sehr nasse Lothringen war trotz er widrigen meteorologischen Umständen eine schöne Auszeit für den lieben Andreas, so dass er heute, am 01. März 2026 frisch und ausgeruht ans Werk gehen kann, um Euch Fans diese 456. Episode zu präsentieren! Insgesamt ist die aktuelle Playliste ein wenig flotter geworden als das man das von einem Podcast mit dem Namen "XtraChill" erwarten würde - aber manchmal ergeben sich die Dinge, ohne das man einen Einfluss darauf hat, denn die ausgewählten Künstler (inklusive einer Künstlerin!) liefern auf jeden Fall einen passende Auswahl für den zart aufkeimenden Frühling. Überzeugt Euch selbst! Despite the adverse weather conditions, the "carnival escape" to the unfortunately very wet Lorraine region was a nice break for dear Andreas, so that today, on March 1st, 2026, he can go to work fresh and rested to present this 456th episode to you fans! Overall, the current playlist has turned out to be a little livelier than you would expect from a podcast called "XtraChill" – but sometimes things just happen without you having any influence on them, because the selected artists (including one female artist!) definitely provide a fitting selection for the gently blossoming spring. See for yourselves!

Am heutigen "Karnevalssonntag", dem 15. Februar 2026, stehen die Zeichen nicht nur auf närrischen Irrsinn, sondern auch auf trübes und kaltes Wetter - ob die Wolken den lieben Andreas bis ins französische Département Moselle verfolgen werden, wohin er sich für seine diesjährige "Karnevalsflucht" zurückgezogen hat? Wir werden sehen! Auf jeden Fall wurde diese 455. Episode von "XtraChill" noch vor dem Einmarsch der Pappnasen produziert und aus sicherer Entfernung auf den Server geladen. Heute stehen ganze sechs Neuvorstellungen auf der 8er-Playliste, wie immer formvollendet zusammengepackt, mal nach Thema, mal nach Musikrichtung oder manchmal einfach kunterbunt wie Konfetti. Na dann: Alaaf und Helau! On this "Carnival Sunday," on February 15th, 2026, the signs point not only to revelry but also to gloomy and cold weather — will the clouds follow dear Andreas all the way to the French department of Moselle, where he has retreated for his "Carnival escape" this year? We shall see! In any case, this 455th episode of "XtraChill" was produced before the arrival of the revelers and uploaded to the server from a safe distance. Today, there are six new artists, sometimes by theme, sometimes by genre, or sometimes simply as colorful as confetti. Well then: Alaaf and Helau!

Der kurze Monat Februar 2026 wird heute, am Monatsersten, mit einer weiteren tollen Playliste von "XtraChill" veredelt! Der liebe Andreas arbeitet sich weiter durch die Restbestände des vergangenen Jahres, denn traditionell werfen die vielen tollen Labels im Dezember jede Menge "Best of"-Compilations auf den Markt. Neben einigen bekannten Namen stehen auch drei Neuvorstellungen am Start - und eine neue Künstlerin ist auch mit dabei! So trägt diese 454. Episode wieder dazu bei, dass mehr Frauen die "XtraChill"-Bühne betreten. Viel Spaß! The short month of February 2026 will be ennobled today, on the first of the month, with another great playlist from “XtraChill”! Dear Andreas continues to work through the remaining stocks from last year, because traditionally the many great labels release a lot of "Best of" compilations on the market in December. In addition to some well-known names, there are also three new artists at the start - and a new female one is also there! This 454th episode once again contributes to more women entering the “XtraChill” stage. Have fun!

Statt sich dem trüben Januar zu ergeben hat der liebe Andreas heute, am 15. Januar 2026, gleich eine ganz besondere Episode 453 von "XtraChill" raus! Denn der reguläre Sendebetrieb startet gleich mit einem Novum, denn der erste "Flotte Dreier" des Jahres widmet sich nicht nur einem neuen Netlabel, sondern baut die leider immer noch sehr miese "Frauenquote" gleich mit drei neuen Künstlerinnen aus. Als Ausgleich gibt es neue Musik von drei Herren, die allesamt langjährige Partner dieses Podcast sind - und noch eine Neuvorstellung als Rausschmeißer, mit dem ersten Track aus dem noch jungen Jahr 2026! Viel Spaß! Instead of succumbing to the gloomy January weather, our dear Andreas has released a very special episode 453 of "XtraChill" today, January, 15th 2026! Regular broadcasting is kicking off with a novelty, as the first "threesome" of the year is not only dedicated to a new netlabel, but also expands the unfortunately still very poor "women's quota" with three new female artists. To balance things out, there is new music from three gentlemen who are all long-standing partners of this podcast – and another new introduction to round things off, with the first track from the still young year 2026! Enjoy!
