Shuffle #9 - Private Dancer

In this edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Tina Turner's Private Dancer. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material. Public and private dancers, non-binary voices, Finnish superstars, peaches, orchestras, strong women, workers who hate their jobs … all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.


Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).

Beholder Halfway #28

This month: legendary NYC composer Vito Ricci and Brandon Hocura, co-founder of the Invisible Cities reissue label and founder of Seance Centre, the label that recently issued My Little Life, a collection of short stories accompanied by musical compositions written and performed by Vito.

While Brandon contextualises Vito's work within the broader context of Seance Centre's project of reissuing both music and literature, especially poetry, Vito discusses his recent career renaissance through the reissue of his material, how working for theater, dance, and poetry shaped his work, and his time with free jazz legends Rashied Ali, Ornette Coleman, and others.

walkplacedistancetime #26 - One Day in June: Movement 7

Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

Walking, movement in place, in air, distance through time.

In this episode: Iceland ... every three hours for 24 hours ... eight times ... daag einn I juni ... I stand and look east across the fell to the obelisk. Beyond it the northern shoulder of Burfell rises then slips away off its hog’s back summit.

Stand and listen to the plaintive pipe of the Golden Plover and the croak of the Snipe.

Stand … then move off ... down the slope; through the Marsh Marigolds; over the stream; cross two fences; cross the horse paddock to the leaning post; along the horse path; around to the fence to the left; over the fence; cross four streams; pass the waterfall; cross the marsh; cross the stream on stones; up the slope to gap in ridge; up the slope to the lip; around the obilisk; pause; retrace my steps ... eight walks ... eight sections ... split ... re-built ... into a day at random ... eight movements ... this is movement 7.

Merrie Melodias #3 - Anti-discoteque

This episode focuses on the rare experimental and deviant music that can conceptually be called the "dancefloor destroyer". Its narrative unfolds from early electronic, synthesizer and computer music and we discover that the only Soviet major label without any censorship boldly released music in the genres of EBM and no-wave, sympho-prog, acid-opera and even “post-pop”.

This episode is less about the music of all the countries of the Soviet Union – only focusing on Estonia, Latvia and Russia – but is rather my personal poetic statement, representing the diversity of Soviet experimental music in the late 80s and early 90s. This music sounds extremely modern right now. I chose the neo-romantic twist of Nochnoy Prospeckt's Antidisco Song as the main motif of the release, which opens and closes the show.


Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.

Lepke B: Looperama #6 - The Cat That Hated People

David Bowie starts this episode of Looperama with chunks of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, that are blatantly appropriated ad nauseam, a remix of a remix of Grinderman/U.N.K.L.E - Hyper Worm Tamer and the voice of a cosmonaut from Out of the Present.

Patti Smith reclaims Rock & Roll ... interspersed with The Incredibles, Patti again, and introducing Ygor and his cloud paintings. A variety of bizarre sonic permutations are generated. Tiny Tim emerges unscathed.

At approximately the 43rd minute , Max Ernst speaks ...

Meanwhile - The Cat that Hated People with additional tamperings , via N. Senada,'s "Theory of Phonetic Organization".

"Now, just imagine..."


Lepke B's blissful disregard for the sacred in life has placed him as one of the testcard knights with a totally unique approach to sound plunderphonics and visual art.

Radia #1076 - Certain Secret Methods Two by Mykel Boyd

This episode is a contribution by Rádio Zero.

Certain Secret Methods Two is a new 27 minute composition created specifically for Radia. It uses tape loops, harmonium, singing bowls, sequential circuits pro one and field recordings to create a space for you to visit whenever you like. I am intrigued by the concept of dead drops, codes and ciphers and Steganography. In this recording is embedded, messages, codes and location details. Perhaps you will listen closely and figure out what it is all about?

Mykel Boyd (b. 1970, Kankakee, IL) makes sound recordings, conceptual artworks, photos, installations and films. By experimenting with aleatoric processes, Boyd creates work in which a fascination with the clarity of content and an uncompromising attitude towards conceptual and minimal art can be found.


Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.
