female:pressure #123 - Sonnorus

Sonnorus expresses her presence by providing undoubtedly bold sets which include hypnotic, psychedelic, electric, deep sounds, and pure energy.

The rising multidisciplinary artist from Tbilisi's underground scene is never afraid to show off her honest character with trance tunes shaped in classy techno beats.

She gets her inspiration from different kinds of art, and often creates and shares her own because the power of an idea is never shaped in one form.


Twice-monthly broadcast showcasing electronic music produced by members of the female:pressure international network of female, transgender and non-binary artists practising in the fields of electronic music and digital arts.

SubPhonics #13 - @

We’re back with new music for the first time this year! After laying the foundation for the show throughout last year we have decided to explore a new route: as we are a collective of individuals and not strictly a homogenous ensemble this year we’d like to use the platform to explore each members individual practice.

Every couple of months or so a member will “take over” the sessions for the month and guide us in the work we produce. For this month, we have taken early anarchist texts as inspiration and material to work with and against the music we make. Each member reads a text in their native language and we explore the dynamic of knowing and not knowing through improvisation.

We Are actively looking to expand our group of collaborators and more permanent members, If you’d like to work with us or would like to book us for a show then please contact Jamie on hello@subphonics.com

A Mixtape Radio #4 - Two Sides of the Island

Joe and Chanelle’s audio recordings encompass ambient sounds, conversation, experimental composition and improvised instrumental response. Cassette drones, loop pedals, voice and guitar are used to echo, mimic or bend over bird calls, thunderstorms, night sounds, indistinguishable chatter, museum reverberations and urban movement. These moments captured to tape are presented in two halves as an A-side/B-side format.

Enriched by visual counterpoints for each episode, Bruna’s critical eye forms an ambiguous tonal narrative from Jake's method of stumbling into excellence. Mountain, valley, glacier, and urban horizon are presented in stereo format, to parallel the A-side/B-side format.

This program has been made on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, we pay respect to the Elders both past and present.

Project lead and sound by Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier. Creative direction by Bruna Volpi. Photography by Jake Terrey.

Supported by The Renshaws; Higher Ground Studios.
