A fever takes hold over this episode, but the willpower to continue researching persists. When these two things collide, you can be sure that you're in for one hell of a rollercoaster of ride full of spills and thrills without a moderating pragmatist for miles.

Fever effects are unusual; perceptual loops present themselves, of varying tiresomeness. A loud music event outdoors prompts our poorly breathless narrator to trace the source of the sound.

This gives rise to what may become a recurring theme in Asphyxia: namely, a new genre of music called 'creepbeat'; where, like breakbeat, music is sampled, albeit from an unreasonably long lonely distance away. When banging tunes lose their definition, they thrum.

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.

An immersive psychosonic space, where sounds converse, collide and converge, featuring works, selections, edits, experiments, new music, non-music, archival objects, abstract artefacts, sound(system) and A/V art, pop, trash, noise, voice, and the associated mediums, processes and techniques that make up the ongoing audial investigations of Agents of the Culture Industry & OVT, all presented for art not profit.

In sonic waters once again, this episode begins with the archives of electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire, and joyously ends on her infectious narration of manipulating - folding? - sounds. Interlaced with whispering lullaby vocals and crackling whirrs, before hazy mornings in the garden and a celebration of rain on our skin, this mix is one to lie down to, lights low, and let it cleanse.

Featuring wondrous Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser, London based performer and composer, we explore Queerness in music and electro-acoustic improvisation. Let this evening's rhythms wash over you.

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.

Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with NO L by John Smith.

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.
