You can\u2019t expect me to be very objective about that. But on the other hand, I\u2019ve listened to a lot of other electronic music podcasts and I\u2019ve found the bulk of them to be terrible and, at best, mediocre. Even the electronic music podcasts that I enjoy I\u2019ve also found wanting.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of shows may play some spectacular music but the tend to play such a narrow spectrum of music over and over again on each show that there\u2019s almost no point in downloading another show. Once I\u2019ve heard one podcast I\u2019ve pretty much heard all their shows. Where\u2019s the fun in that? And other shows that play great electronic music might not have a host so I have no idea who you\u2019re listening to unless I check the playlist. As a consequence, the show feels empty.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are those few shows that play exceptionally good music and have a friendly host to guide me on my audio journey. Those are the shows that I think are worth listening to and that brings us to the <a title=\"Electronicast website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uk-snowy.com\/ecast\/\" target=\"_blank\">Electronicast<\/a>, hosted by <a title=\"Snowy web page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uk-snowy.com\/ecast\/about\" target=\"_blank\">DJ Snowy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Snowy is passionate about the music he carefully selects for each edition of Electronicast, whether it\u2019s breakbeat, IDM or ambient. No matter what genre of electronic music Snowy plays it\u2019s the highest quality stuff out there. Just as important, Snowy mostly showcases independent and unsigned artists that deserve to be heard.<\/p>\n<p>Snowy has only released a few episodes of Electronicast but it\u2019s such a great show that it\u2019s well worth the wait and I\u2019m always excited when I find a new edition of Electronicast on my iPod.<\/p>\n<p>As the host of <b>solipsistic NATION<\/b> I feel it\u2019s not only my duty to play for you the very best electronic music but to also turn you on to electronic music podcasts that will rock your world. If after listening to this week\u2019s show you feel you absolutely have to listen to more of Electronicast then why not <a title=\"Electronicast podcast subscription\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/Electronicast\" target=\"_blank\">subscribe<\/a> to Snowy\u2019s podcast?
