There is currently a structural water crisis in the Palestinian Occupied Jordan Valley. Not a climate or geographical water crisis, a deliberate socially and politically engineered crisis. Israel, since it invaded the West Bank in 1967, controls every public aspect of civilian life in the Jordan Valley. Israel administers two populations, the Israeli settlers and the indigenous Palestinian residents. Israel deliberately and strategically deprives Palestinian farming communities of access to fresh, clean and reliable water supplies, water that is needed for crops and herds, as well as for the Palestinian farmers and herders.

This can mean either not permitting them to be connected to municipal water supplies, despite the Israeli settlers having such access. It also entails not permitting Palestinian people to sink new wells on their own land, and blocking their access to existing wells and springs, either by fencing off the water source or destroying pipes bringing the water to the herders and farmers. The end result is frequently that either the farmers have to pay extortionate prices to purchase water from the Palestinian authority, or if they cannot afford this option they are forced to abandon their land and way of life.

Team Valley is an industrial estate in Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, England. It's home to nearly 700 companies and roughly 20,000 people working there. It was built in the 1930s and is laid out in a grid, with street names like Kingsway, Queensway and numbered avenues.

It lies in a valley with the River Team at it's centre and is bordered by the East Coast train mainline to the east and the A1 motorway to the west. In the centre of the estate is a wood called '£20 Close' - it is home to lots of endangered birds, a diverse mix of flora and fauna and some very old trees, it predates the current industrial estate by at least 200 years. It's what is called Ancient Woodland.

This month we are joined by Newcastle based researcher, artist, filmmaker and photographer Michelle Allan. Michelle came across the wood 4 years ago and as a result of her research the wood received wildlife conservation status. She traced the wood existenceback to at least the 1700s. For the last year she has been intensively filming, photographing, recording and documenting the wood.

We recorded a brilliant dawn chorus on the Summer Solstice this year and this forms the backbone of this month's show.

It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist. It considers even the recording a compromise, but advocates things.
