This episode features music and field recordings capturing the sounds of Berlin and Mexico City, courtesy of Jana Irmert and Mabe Fratti.

In the first hour, Jana probes the intrigue of Berlin's streets and experimental music scene. Using cutting edge recording technologies, she offers us an unconventional angle on the city's soundscape, from the electronic signals surging through power boxes and neon signs to the subtle movements under the ice covering the Spree River.

In the second hour, Guatemalan cellist and composer Mabe Fratti takes us across Mexico City. Her mix features a selection of tracks from artists living and working in the city, combined with recordings of the everyday music that floods its streets: parents and children singing together, musicians improvising in bars and on street corners, and taxi drivers cranking up the radio to share their favourite songs.

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

In this episode, Dronica meets Dalila Kayros for a guest mix.

Sardinian singer and composer Dalila Kayros creates avant-garde indie electronic songs with dark ambient elements. Her music evolves through concept albums, which see Kayros creating surreal images relating to symbolism and a dystopian aesthetic, blending lead with ritualistic vocals and combining quiet and fierce moods.

"We'll walk on different terrains, from an etheric sound to a scream from the guts! So from a quiet sideral night to a screaming foggy day where the sun hits as strong as ever!" – Dalila Kayros.

Nicola Serra, founder of East London's experimental music festival Dronica, presents new and archival material.

Ambient, folk, ritual, electronic, dub, free jazz and exploratory works selected by BroodingSideOfMadness.

In this first episode, enduring the Metal Gear Solid alert sound effect in a real-world setting, the quasi-unemployed narrator introduces his controversial "work where you like" practice; being an archivist without portfolio, researching "media of unknown origin", and clawing at the British Library's "Suppressed Safe" of restricted-access books.

Abused necks - seats of human voice - are given special attention in this episode - anatomical points of interest in the unusual (and largely unknown) literary work of Marcus S. Chambers (aka "Exact Thinker") and his anarchist counterpart Sydney Hanson. The present-day obscurity of their work forms a self-fulfilling prophecy about the silencing of knowledge, lending much unease, mystery, and squirms to outmanoeuvre "crank" vibes.

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.
