In their own words: "This is a very simple solipsistic mix in the end; a mix of field recordings from long pram walks, bus rides and lullabies, some songs I’ve written to stay sane, and some songs of others that have kept us afloat. And lots of our daughter being a massive beacon of light."

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).

It’s spring time and we’re finally feeling the rays on our faces. Take a dip in this month’s Soundbath on Resonance extra, with a light shower of ambient electronic and soft vocals, drifting around a beautiful chat with multidisciplinary artist and Foldable Sounds day 1 trooper, Elena Lo Presti.

Foldable Sounds’ Daniela Maria Geraci shares in a moving conversation with the Italian, London-based artist, discussing her practice of ‘giving importance to the tiny things’ via ceramics, retelling generational stories and the proliferation of craft as an act of caregiving.

Recline, take a moment. This one’s a wild ride of emotions, so settle into these swirling depths.

The Foldable Sounds Collective presents Foldable Soundbath. The collective formed during the April 2020 lockdown and is composed of three artists: Daniela Maria Geraci, Lucy Rose Cunningham and Isabelle Pead. Individually dealing with sound as an archival, performative and narrational tool, collectively they interrogate sound’s potential to sonically transport the imagination outside one’s four walls, drawing on a global need for freedom of movement.

In this episode, he presents a retrospective of Gunther Iscariot, who specialises in dotwork, from geometrical to psychedelic, from patterns to organic.
