purge.xxx #1 - In What's Missing, Is Where Love Has Gone by Chris Petit & Mordant Music

purge.xxx releases music. It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist. It considers even the recording a compromise, but advocates things.

This series for Resonance Extra is the first time much of the label's catalogue has been available to hear outside of its material form. It accepts the invitation by Resonance on the basis that none of these sounds are stored. If you want to hear it you need to be able to access the radio at midnight BST every Thursday.

Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, beginning here with Chris Petit and Mordant Music's In What's Missing, Is Where Love Has Gone (000).
