Indian E-music ... Electronics from South Asia. From December 2012 on the Berlin audience (as radio multicult.fm listeners) will come in the enjoyment of Indian Electronics. "Indian E-music" is the second stand-alone format out of the radio production studio of IMC - India meets Classic in Hamburg. "Indian Electronics" is the latest musical offspring which is setup on the fundament of Indian classical music. In 1996/1997 this genre has developed in London newly as "Asian Underground". The traditional musical crafts, the music theory of Indian classical music and the sound experiments in Indian electronic music arent mutually exclusive. The time span between tradition and modernity with the formats for Indian classical music and Indian electronic music which are broadcasted in Germany, Austria and Switzerland via Tide 96.0 (Hamburg), radio multicult.fm (Berlin), Radio FRO (Bad Ischl) and RASA Radio (Schaffhausen), even appropriate the new format "Thought Experiment(s)". The perspective is sharpened to a sense of tradition as equally for the latest contemporary trends in the expression of the electronic music world of a modern India. ______________________________________ +++

Radio MultiCult.FM (short profile): World Culture in Local Diversity Historical antecedents of MultiCult.FM: at 31st Dec 2008 - 22:00 pm the Radio Multikulti was turned off by the station RBB (Radio Berlin-Brandenburg). A nationwide wave of protests could not prevent the closure of Radio Multikulti. The RBB itself was established on 1st May 2003 as merger of Sender Freies Berlin (SFB) + Ostdeutsches Radio Brandenburg (ORB Potsdam), itself a child of the German reunification. MultiCult 2.0 started virtually coincidently with the closure of Radio MultiKulti, as Wolfgang Knig reported, former radio editor, presenter and co-founder of Radio Multicult 2.0 (source: Songclub.de). Since then a fraction of the former radio makers sends maintained multicult.fm radio with daily 4-6 hours on FM 88.4 MHz and 24 hours on the net as web radio - www.multicult.fm . In September 2009, the foundation of Intercultural Association for Media Development (InKuM Stifterverein fr Interkulturelle Medienfrderung) was founded. The NGO services for the supporters and multicult.fm network. There is also the multicultural Friends Association with Klaus Bade as chairman, who is scientist for migration. The multi-professional team and its many volunteers look behind the superficial patterns of "migration background", the cultural diversity as the norm and form from for the radio program with highlighting the opportunities of an immigrant society as Germany is. The radio is operated by the non profit business company "Multicult radio & media productions gUG (limited)" which was founded in December 2009. The advantage of the locational in the cultural heart of Berlin city makes possible a participatory approach. Since March 2011 multicult.fm produces in a "glass studio" in the Marheineke market hall (Berlin-Kreuzberg), 24x7 as Internet Radio and daily as FM on 88.4 and 90.7 MHz (Monday-Friday: 06:0010:00 am, Saturday & Sunday: 06:00-12:00 am). 88vier is a non-commercial radio project that broadcasts since May 2010 in Berlin-Potsdam on FM frequencies (88.4 and 90.7) - www.88vier.de.

IMC - India meets Classic (short profile): Enjoy listening to good music! On 28th November 2005 went the promotion initiative IMC - India meets Classic for a radio special first time on air. There was no idea about that 6 years later then a total of 114 broadcastings via radio and 95 hours of production time (5,684 minutes airtime), the trail was blazed and can be taken from Germany's second largest city, the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (approx. 1.8 million / 755.25 km in 2010) to Berlin (approx. 3.46 million / 891.02 km in 2010) as the German capital. However, the development of IMCRadio.Net by a media producer, connected to a transmission from a training and community radio at a young media campus near the Outer Alster (HMS - Hamburg Media School / Tide 96.0 (radio + TV)) to an independent producer no coincidence. Slots in Austria, Switzerland and the two largest cities in Germany (Berlin, Hamburg) are the result of constant professional and a progressive concept of a social nature, the traditional values in times of fast pace and superficiality does not throw overboard. Lothar JR Maier as the founder/owner of the promotion initiative IMC - India meets Classic is 25% of Polish origin, and sees himself as world citizen. He was born in Bavaria, grew up in Swabia, and was seven years in a mixed marriage to a Peruvian.
