Miia Magia is a Helsinki-based DJ and label owner known for groovy, hypnotic sets that blend raw, driving techno with deep, underground sensibility. Coming up through the LGBTQ+ scene, she became a key figure in Helsinki nightlife as a DJ, promoter, and cultural force, later expanding into Stockholm’s respected techno circuit.

Her path has taken her across Europe—from warehouse raves to major clubs and festivals—playing with and holding residencies alongside institutions like HE.SHE.THEY. (resident) and appearing at spaces such as Berghain, RSO, Culture Box, HALL, and Department.

Since 2020, she’s run Motto Sono Records, a label focused on Scandinavian deep techno with an emphasis on uncompromised releases from both emerging artists and established pioneers. A major milestone in her early career was launching “Club FF” at Semifinal in 2004, the venue’s first club night run entirely by female DJs, followed by residencies at Helsinki staples like DTM and the creation of her “Sound of Magic” concept at mbar. Miia’s influence also extends beyond music: she works in makeup artistry and jewelry design, collaborating with artists, museums, record labels, and Helsinki Pride, with highlights including work connected to Cannes in 2023.

Sonoro is a series showcasing Mexican contemporary sound and radio artists. The pieces featured here are albums, collages and multivoice essays that lean towards analogous logics of sound capturing, slow listening, interspecies dialoguing and sonorous contemplation. Curated by Ana Martínez de Buen, these works present almost two decades of soundscapes and sound productions that offer a small sonic window into Mexican radio and sound art.

This environmental audio stream is broadcasting live from the 'End of the World' glacier in Northern Italy's Stelvio National Park. The solar-powered listening station is continuously transmitting since July 2025 from ca. 2.700 metres above sea level in the Italian Alps. We tune in daily to the glacier's cyclical sonic material life, allowing us to witness meltwater rhythms, sediment flows, avalanches, landslides, animal life and the seasonal impacts of weather and tourism entering the microphones, in real time. Elemental Foley by Lia Mazzari will be on show as a solo exhibition at Microscope Gallery in Dalston, London from 10 - 26 September 2026.

How the Soviet Union spent more money of on blocking radio stations from the West than on radio broadcasting itself and the creative methods they used to make unbearable noise.

With Rimantas Pleikys.

For this episode, experimental hip-hop artist Rael joins Joe in the studio for a live set and interview, amongst track selections including Erykah Badu, Moor Mother, billy woods & Tricky.

Rael makes text-and-speech based music; warped beats and existential poetry, the pits and peaks of love and imagination, late nights and: long walks through the city. The sound world beats a dark slow rhythm, drawing on post-dub, guitar music and trip-hop. Rael is formally of the disaster pop group Nukuluk.

The radio counterpart to live intermedia event series Late Works, hosted by founder Joseph Bradley Hill. Each week a new guest joins Joe in the studio to discuss and perform their work. Expect in-depth interviews, live performances, conversations and new event experiments.

This afternoon: live performances by Rubbish Music and Lee Patterson.

Rubbish Music uses sound to investigate the journeys, transformations and impacts of our discarded objects.Using worn-out treasures, empty vessels and broken devices as an orchestra of vivid musique concrète materials, we examine the worlds we make and destroy via our rubbish.From the great rubbish patches in our oceans, to buried land-fill dumps and sophisticated recycling plants, the objects we let go of continue in many guises without us.

Through Decay, repurposing and recycling, our everyday objects persist or transform in ways which extend beyond our relationships with them.The journeys discarded items embark upon create new worlds, new niches for species. From the changing habits of animals making the most of our swathes of waste, to the rise of plastic-devouring bacteria, the consequences of throwing away objects can be profound. With our toolkit of rusty bells, dirty oven grills, onion skins, toilet plungers, wine bottles, nasal spray and a squeaky chicken toy, we seek to imagine some of them.

Lee Patterson uses sound-making and recording to devise performances with a selection of amplified objects, devices and processes, from rock, chalk to springs, from burning nuts to vibrating metal. Based in Prestwich, Manchester, UK., he works internationally and has featured on UK TV, BBC Radios 3, 4 and 6, Resonance FM and on radio stations worldwide.

Auris Festival Co-Curator Vicky Clarke presents four extracts of sound installations to be found across the festival site throughout this weekend. We begin with ‘T1/2 (Half Life)’, Vicky’s own collaboration with Kamila Narysheva a multichannel sound installation that explores the acoustic memory of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site in Kazakhstan through field recordings of soil, water, air and architectural remnants made in December 2024.

We continue with ‘Seven Sisters’, a participatory multichannel installation by fellow Co-Curator Wajid Yaseen, incorporating vintage test tone wide range oscillators to be adjusted and manipulated by the audience to create square and sine wave crossings. The installation is an act of listening effectively activated by the listener as they move around it and indeed you’ll hear participants engaging with the oscillators over the fifteen or so minutes of this recording made earlier today.

We then cross to the festival’s Spatial Audio listening room delivered on Bernard Steer’s Microcosm System - though obviously we can only broadcast a rough impression for the works in a stereo broadcast. We’ll hear Arconic’s ‘The Quiet Work Of Trees’ and round the hour off with ‘Lull’ by Mick Harris, before returning to our live festival broadcast.

This evening, Absolute Sonic Creatures by Francisco López.

“Draw[ing] the ear from one fascination to the next [...] everything in his sonic frame gleams with pristinely arranged dramatic purpose” (The New York Times).Internationally acclaimed for the intensity, richness and astonishing audio detail of his live immersive performances in the dark, composer / audio-artist Francisco López has been enthralling audiences worldwide for decades with his sonic experiences with multi-channel surround systems and blindfolds provided for the public (that he calls “proudly monomedia”).

Created from a myriad of original sound environments, both natural and artificial, collected all over the world, they however do not present soundscapes but rather non-representational virtual worlds of sound (“not virtual reality but real virtuality”) where the listener develops his/her own experience in an environment where the rules and the parameters are defined by the sounds themselves, felt as space and as a physical dynamic force. Renowned for the complexity and intricacy of these worlds of sonic virtuality, López works with sound as a ‘medium’ for a transcendental experience open to individual exploration: this is a one-of-a-kind experience not to be missed!

In summer 2023, George experienced a ruptured eardrum that made working with headphones or stereo sound temporarily impossible. So, when visiting Argyll in August, he decided to field record with equipment that could be monitored with one ear, or not at all.

All edits are 'in camera' and he deployed a wide range of extended micing techniques to change the quality of the audio. Starting on the ferry to Dunoon and ending at Glasgow Central Station, Argyll distills the whole three-day trip sequentially into one saturated object.

Argyll is a field recording sound object created by sound artist George Rayner-Law. It consists of recordings made directly to cassette in Argyll, Scotland.
