I

This year's word was ‘I’, consequently the focus is on selfless selves, linked Is, and not-Is. The first year it started with ‘you’, last year ‘and’ came to connect you to anything and everything, this year that point of connection is ‘I’—the porous one, the solo collective.

Akiha Den Den # Episodes 1 - 4

This broadcast features the first four episodes of the series back-to-back.


A unique audio drama series created by writer/director Neil Cargill and musician/sound designer Simon James featuring an original electronic music score and full cast including Ian McDiarmid, famed for his role as Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars saga, as Cuttings – the radio ham who picks up a mysterious voice. The voice belongs to a girl (Joy McAvoy, from Ken Loach's The Angels' Share, and Filth) trapped in an abandoned amusement park called Akiha Den Den. Singer Wendy Rae Fowler (featured vocalist with bands such as Queens Of The Stone Age) lends her distinctive Alabama tones to the multi-layered soundscape as it becomes clear there's a whole community there, whose words and music become woven into a mesmerising plea for help. Everything becomes highly charged when one of the trapped inhabitants finds a way into our world – where his impact on us could be as devastating and far-reaching as an unknown, unseen virus.

Socialist Realness #6


Socialist Realness a mix series by GAJEK focusing on avant-garde and electronic music produced in the GDR and shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

9pm GMT

Worthwhile Unions #1

Episode 1 was recorded with haptictape labs_2046 and focuses on the twilit, grinning spectre of 1990s Memphis Rap.

Through found footage, field recording and tape rips, this episode traces the scene through its local-distribution cassette origins, later commercial success, and internet renaissance as it shape-shifts seamlessly between horror-film nightmare, biographical realism and sonic fantasy.


Worthwhile Unions is a radio series by Anna Clegg with a focus on meeting points. Often collaborative and pulling heavily from online sources, the series works to extract a kind of cinema of feeling, contradicting and evasive, from dense combinations of music, sound and samples.

10pm GMT

Fae Ma Bit Tae Ur Bit #71
