purge.xxx #28 - Z32 / Between Fences by Noam Enbar : Avi Mograbi

Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with Z32 / Between Fences by Noam Enbar : Avi Mograbi.

Noam Enbars original soundtrack scores for Avi Mograbi’s films Z32 (2008) and Between Fences (2016).

Z32: an Israeli soldier describes his participation in revenge operations against Palestinians; the director of the documentary film, Avi Mograbi, often appears on screen and breaks in to song.

Between Fences: Avi Mograbi and Chen Alon initiate a theatre workshop and improvised choir in Holot, a detention centre in the Israeli desert housing asylum seekers from Eritrea and Sudan who cannot return to their countries of origin. This edition features an extended recording of the choir.

numbered + handmade in an edition of 50 copies only with a specially commissioned text by Eyal Weizman, and the Hebrew song lyrics alongside new, English translations; no digital.

This series for Resonance Extra is the first time much of the label's catalogue has been available to hear outside of its material form. It accepts the invitation by Resonance on the basis that none of these sounds are stored. If you want to hear it you need to be able to access the radio at midnight every Thursday.


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.

912 by Niya B

The title reflects the number of days Niya had to wait for her first appointment at the Gender Identity Clinic. The wait times have been increasing across the UK, with first appointments now taking anywhere from three to five years. The project consists of three parts, each capturing one-third of the 912-day journey, using a 360 degree camera.

Niya engaged with diverse communities of trans and non- binary people in Birmingham and London through workshops and participatory performances. 912 goes beyond a personal story to resonate with a wider audience, exploring conditions of waiting, frustration, hope, resilience and community support.

The podcast was initially designed as an audio description for visually impaired individuals but has since evolved into a distinct audio experience of its own.

Text by Afrah Allsopp & Niya B. Narration by Asher Fynn. Mixed by Lottie Lou Poulet.

Based on a VR 360 degree video by artist Niya B, 912 is an audio project which delves into the lives of trans and non-binary individuals as they navigate the daily challenge of waiting and carrying on.

Discrepancies #100 - Watts Special

This hundredth edition is a very special memorial episode. The great and unique D, Dave Watts, D. WattsRiot, KingL Man as well as part of Fun-Da-Mental and a gazillion other collaborations, left us last month and with him a huge void that will never be filled.

DJ, producer, friend, collaborator and eternal connector, many can count themselves lucky to have crossed his path, eternally grateful for all the chats, politic rambles, jams, chicken meals and bichillo grills and most of all his endless energy!

This show is dedicated to his everlasting impression on me as well as everyone who met him. My way of saying goodbye with an hour mix of tracks he produced, featured in, played in his DJ sets or simply tunes we both liked and talked about. Ride high my brother, ride high on a windy day!


Discrepancies is a global showcase of disparate music with a focus on earthly field recordings and international sounds, curated by the Discrepant record label, presented by Gonçalo F Cardoso.

Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #16 - Fetish

This sixteenth chunk of Asphyxia broadly explores audio cassette tapes as a means of transmitting ideas. It contains a manifesto on 'pure volunteering', i.e. an act whereby involuntarily unemployed aspirants forcibly employ themselves by gatecrashing workplaces.

A lost micro-cassette phone recording (yielded during a bin dive) of wildlife expert Chris Packham discussing wood mice with a tabloid reporter is digitised and archived in a guerrilla pure volunteering trespass at an unnamed recording facility. The illegality of pure volunteering lends it an inadvertent thrill, portrayed here in breathless commentary and nibbled process.


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.

Mitamine Lab #61 - Crossing the Rainbow Just to Meet You Again

Enriched by various discoveries from online sources and current or forthcoming promotional materials, this musical composition reflects on the poignant reunion with my dear friend, who passed away a few months ago.

During his memorial service, I encountered the concept of the 'Rainbow Bridge,' a mythical realm where pets transition after their departure, experiencing rejuvenation and vitality as they await the return of their human companions.

This episode evokes the notion of that idealised – perhaps imminent or far-off – reunion. It is dedicated to the cherished memory of Momo, my cat.


Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

Girls B-Side Orchestra #1 - Hume's Nightmare

Our senses, you say, are fallacious. Our understanding is erroneous. Our ideas even of the most familiar objects, extension, duration, motion, are full of absurdities and contradictions. You defy me to reconcile the inconsistencies which you find in them. I haven't the skill for so great an undertaking

I see that there is no need for it. This dialogue concern your religion. But U never really listen until you have to why is that?

Girls B-Side Orchestra is back. And for the first of their series on Resonance Extra, a ghost is eluding their senses.

Special thank you to Zachary Knowland-Barker.
