Twenty-Four Hours is one of Stephen Watts’ earliest works, written in the mid-1970s but unpublished until 2022 (via Monitor & Prototype). A prose poem meditating on time, memory, and childhood, this live recording of Watts’ reading (35m) was made at the Steamship, Poplar (London), in September 2022.

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.

In this first episode we travel to the East – to Transcaucasia and Asia in the 70s–90s: we listen to colourful Korean funk, sunny Azerbaijani jazz, desert Uzbek folk and traditional dance music from Laos and Burma. That's all folks!

I want to dedicate this show to the anniversary of the Melodiya label – it turns 60 years old on the 23rd of April 2024. And the best thing is that the label is still releasing music.

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.

In this episode, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material.

Marching bands, Kahoot players, industry workers, lovers of ‘corridos tumbados’, summer reague … all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).

Tse Tse Fly Middle East was a nonprofit arts and activist organisation that existed from 2015 until 2023. Throughout that time, it presented a monthly two-hour radio programme showcasing sound art and experimental music from the Middle East, India and North Africa.

This episode is dedicated to my late grandmother Chrisanthi Miliopoulou Gavriilidou. She was my main influence growing up and a strong female figure. She was born in Istanbul in the 30s. She used to climb the huge cargo and oil tanker ships in the Bosporus sea, and dive from incredible heights. She was a storyteller...

She is still remembered as a historical figure in the area of Paşabahçe Turkey. Her late husband was a well-known doctor and they both had a huge impact on the local community, which was made up of many different nationalities and ethnicities. She taught me to respect people and to be a citizen of the world.

She bought me my first spray cans for my first graffiti and supported me in all my ventures until the last day of her life. She was an immigrant, a fighter and a strong maternal figure to many. She did not fear death, not even cancer. She will always be with her loved ones and with me forever.

Cosmic, transcendent sounds and exploratory electronics with f.ampism.

Aspects of scuppered research continue to be explored ad nauseam in this fourteenth instalment of Asphyxia, in which the narrator yields to the drift of distractions like a carrier bag in the wind.

This episode boasts not one, but three difficulties: (1) The ongoing hum in the left-channel seemingly spreads to an audio repairperson's own left ear, (2) a fallen tree prompts consideration on the clichéd obstructiveness of those wooden timewasters, and (3) a newspaper report from over a decade ago - heavily critical of Pure Volunteering - is torn apart in still-burning righteous fury.

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.

Cate Hops is an anthropologist, radio host, DJ and live performer. Musically, she floats between subcultures and genres. Embedded as a DJ in the Berlin bass scene, Cate Hops fuses ambient, early roots reggae and futuristic sound patterns from all areas. While as a performer she has also been working on her own live noise improvisations, she mainly plays with her two partner projects KYOOT, a noise-hip hop duo and Ruido Polimnix, an experimental ambient collaboration.

With the ongoing project Sound System Culture: On the Radical Roots of Rave, she initiates events in which the audience is actively involved. In her radio show, she invites guests from her network to discuss with her and play their favourite tracks. As a researcher she lectures at different festivals, conferences and universities.

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.

In this episode, Arpeggios Everywhere.

Composer Olof Cornéer is obsessed with arpeggios. Under his Night Gestalt-alias he has created three albums full of arpeggios: slow, fast, rhythmic, free flowing. To him an arpeggio is so much more than a broken chord - it’s the essence of music. It’s melody, harmony, rhythm and a peculiar movement at once: standing still and moving fast at the same time. Arpeggios live outside of time. Here is an hour with his favorite arpeggios, some from the classical world and some from the electronic.

Injazero Records founder Siné Buyuka plays a selection of electronic, experimental, ambient and contemporary classical tracks.

Lepke B's blissful disregard for the sacred in life has placed him as one of the testcard knights with a totally unique approach to sound plunderphonics and visual art.
