purge.xxx releases music. 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.

“Before it all seemed so simple, things cast shadows. But now it turned out that shadows cast things, or perhaps things didn’t exist at all” – Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky

In the second hour, Spectral Transmissions: Peripheral Visions, as the shadows start to lengthen we turn our minds to the place where the street lights end. Out here on the periphery, flickering visions and half heard noises scuff our logic with their insistent truancy. Fragments of things unbound by our narrow grasping.

“On cold winter nights we would occasionally perceive a strange glimmering of lights, a marked pulsating luminosity in the very edges of our vision accompanied by a vibrant oscillating frequency of sound, taking in certain cases, the form of bright circular waves, which seem to move from out on the periphery inward towards the centre, but if we tried to look directly at them to see them more clearly they evaded us, seeming to drift and fade, dissipating like so much smoke."

Commissioned new work from contemporary sound practitioners and other audio choices from experimental electronic collective The Spirit of Gravity.

This episode focuses on the strangest releases from the Soviet major label Melodia, which could be characterised simply as ‘Non-music’. Some records shocked me, some made me cringe — but these tracks seem to form a curious narrative on the verge of a numbing psychedelic journey.

So, within an hour you will hear reconstruction of a concert on mammoth bones, advertisement of the famous Lithuanian hoover ‘Audra’ and car fluids of Soyuzbytkhim factory, field recordings of crickets, toads and even fish singing, pioneers' signals, monologues of parrot Gosha and a patient with nonsense casual relations syndrome, and also hypnotherapy for alcoholics. Happy travelling!

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.

This episode features a special guest, Milo Thesiger–Meacham: Soundcloud // Vimeo // Instagram.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous.

"Here is a mix I made last month. It is inspired by a stupid piano I found a few houses down and dragged home. Lately, I've been working on some new instruments, spawned from various marshlands around South East London, and this moss-covered electric piano was a funny addition.

So, I put together these mostly keyboard-oriented pieces; some are bits I played on the following days, some experiments with homemade robotics, but it features a few relics too, such as: Koray and Marc's remixes of some old music and one of my all time favourite rave tunes, Twisted Girl, with a hypnotic piano."

'Back to Back with Paolo' (2014)

An encounter between Davide and Paolo, two amateur singers who meet accidentally on the street at night time. After a short introduction, the encounter turns into a back to back chanting battle. The street becomes the stage for a spontaneous performance. The chants are a way to discover each other.

'Memories of a Pigeon Shooter' (2012)

An elderly man speaks about his former career as an amateur pigeon shooter. After talking about his prizes and victories, the meaning of his stories slowly comes to the surface: the desire to remain attached to his memories and not be forgotten. Playback Instruction: if the monologue exceeds your personal physical tolerance, leave the room where the recording is playing so that the shooter suddenly finds himself speaking alone, with nobody listening to him.
