purge.xxx #36 - trabant by trabant ▾
Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with trabant by trabant.
The cult band’s cult band: Trabant were formed in Hungary in 1980. The closest the group ever came to producing a record was in the form of a promotional 7” vinyl for a film in which the core members starred. At the centre of an anti-authoritarian—that is literally outlawed—underground music scene in Hungary, this film soundtrack represented an opportunity to distribute their music without acquiring the recording and distribution license demanded by the censorious Communist regime.
Trabant measured their own success through independence and fun, as a circle of artists recording a significant body of work with rudimentary recording equipment and instruments (much of which was purchased in a toy store), always behind closed doors. The band had an ever-changing line-up formed around co-founders Gábor Lukin, Marietta Méhes, and János Vetö, and latterly with Mihály Víg (of Balaton; soundtrack composer for BÉLA TARR). TRABANT shared some of these recordings through a clandestine cassette tape network, but resisted releasing an album… until now.
This vinyl release represents the first collection of music by Trabant, compiling some of their best known and loved songs, newly transferred and gently restored from the original tapes, in a package with extensive photographic documentation of the band by János Vetö, and new English translations of the song lyrics by George Szirtes (best known as a translator for his work with László Krasznahorkai).
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.

Tenement Press Presents SJ Fowler’s MUEUM # III (of IV) ▾
"With the apocalyptic vision of Ballard and the acerbic attitude of Céline, MUEUM scatters human detritus over the shiny Perspex of our most dearly loved vitrines." – Chris McCabe
"A showcase, ransacked with horrid delight: Fowler's MUEUM presents the placid, lurid violences of surveillance and exhibition with startling and brutal stylishness. A seething triumph." – Eley Williams
A novella of ludic menace, a puzzle without pieces, SJ Fowler’s MUEUM pictures the amassing and dismantling of a public edifice, brick by brick, in prose that refracts and breaks the light emitted by history’s ornaments and history’s omissions. Suspended in unknowable time there is a city; in the city, an event, a conflict. Amid the ash, fog and cloud, there is the manufacturing of a space—a many-winged museum on the make.
On the plinths, exquisite remnants of life present and past—adorning the walls, portraits of gentle torture sit hand in hand with brutal and statuesque portrayals of camaraderie—and the gift-shop is littered with plastic curios and gilt revulsion. Goya, as atmosphere rather than artwork, hovers amid iron age ghosts, bronzed ideas, and antiqued anxiety.
Pacing the hall, atrium and corridor, there are those who keep the museum—the various midwives to the building’s demands—and those, like the reader, who merely visit; those who pass through the vacant galleries adrift with questions. What can I touch? What is next to Egypt? What is hidden in Mesopotamia? Where do we eat? Drink? Where is the entrance? The exit? Following the tradition of the Nestbeschmutzer authors (“one who dirties their own nest,” vis-à-vis Bernhard and Gombrowicz, et al), in Fowler’s curt, spiralling, and acute work, the museum’s keepers will answer.
A four-part, unabridged broadcast of SJ Fowler’s debut novella, MUEUM — as read by the author — recorded on location in Resonance Extra's South London studios. Produced by Dominic Jaeckle and **Milo Thesiger-Meacham.

Radia #1025 - Domestic Drones JPRRR ▾
“They’re my pets. They can be heard for hours at low volume in my workshop, even when I’m not there. I call them my domestic drones and they live in the open air.” (JPRRR)
Principle of the inverted acousmonium:
When recording, I place several types of microphone in the room. Each microphone has its own listening point. I alternate the sound points while remaining permeable to ambient sounds. In this way, I create an inverted acousmonium from a simple broadcast source.
Domestic Drones series 01 was first created as part of the Fallback on air residency, TT Node, Summer 2024.
Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.
