Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with Last Movies by Stanley Schtinter.

"Profound and riveting, Schtinter’s graveyard perspective offers up a rich and startlingly novel view of cinema, angled through cemetery gates before the closing credits. A remarkable accomplishment." – Alan Moore

Stanley Schtinter reads his book Last Movies (Tenement Press, 2023). Included in the triple-cassette print inlay are Last Movies programme notes by Erika Balsom, and Last Words by Nicole Brenez, a metre-long detached receipt strip with an artwork by Jean-Luc Godard. Three cassettes only, 21 numbered copies only.

Note: this is available as a bundle with the hardback version of the book, available exclusively through purge.xxx/purrrrrj030

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.

Radio Picnic is a mobile radio art project by zonoff which invites multi-disciplinary artists to create works inspired by the radio medium.

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?

Friends and relatives brush their histrionic shoulders on this month’s 77th indictment show. Props to ACA the new Tomás Tello project (with friends and family) recently released on Sucata Tapes. Limited tape goodness from an unique voice living out there, deep in the algarvian lagoons, doing his thing…

Also featuring Vica Pacheco beautiful Taciturno on Aquapelago compilation, People Like Us corroning it out with Ergo Phizmiz, (twice!) as well as hidden Polish 80’s gem in the form of Czeslaw Niemen, blink it and you’ll miss it.

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

Sideways research continues apace... This instalment of Asphyxia sees the return of a mysterious polymath possessed of unspecific 'inside information'.

Chit-chat about data security ensues (covertly recorded, ironically). Following this, the narrator bluffs his way past the security cabin at the Midland Road entrypoint to the British Library's goods yard, where a bin-dive yields an unknown writer's diaries, discarded by the library for uncertain reasons.

Meanwhile, the use of tin-foil to eliminate electromagnetic interference is trialled upon the narrator's Zoom recorder which is susceptible to 50Hz hum.

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.

Featuring a segment of Offrandes for Soprano and Chamber Orchestra (1921) by Edgard Varese superimposed with random found (Professor Pyg?) radio broadcasts and fragments, some eerie music from a Halloween sound effects compact disc, other sonic snippets intersperse around the thudding ostinato of Electric Lady (1973 ) by Geordie, a British rock band from Newcastle, most notably active in the 1970s.

Geordie line-up included: Vic Malcolm (lead guitar), Tom Hill (bass guitar), Brian Gibson (drums) and Brian Johnson (lead vocals).

To conclude, a surprise appearance from a mystery guest ...guess who! With music that you can dance to, - whatever wavelength you're on!
