This episode features DeForrest Brown Jr., an ex-American writer, journalist, theorist, curator and a self-described musician by necessity - releasing music under his Speaker Music moniker. DeForrest Brown Jr. is the author of the book Assembling a Black Counter Culture, where he presents a comprehensive account of techno with a focus on the history of Black experiences in industrialized labor systems—repositioning the genre as a unique form of Black musical and cultural production.

Assembling a Black Counter Culture reframes techno from a Black theoretical perspective distinct from its cultural assimilation within predominantly white, European electronic music contexts and discourse. This talk, given by DeForrest Brown Jr. on the 4th of October 2024 at Barreiro’s Jazz School as part of the programme of OUT.FEST’s 20th edition, is moderated by Margarida Mendes, and gives an overview of key details of his book and expands on its context two years after its publication.

Long-form gonzo radio exploration of artists on the outer edge with Eric Boros.

I try to upkeep a daily studio practice, even if it’s spending half an hour playing guitar after slogging it through work all day. Most of this becomes documented in folders of audio to be used for later projects.

However, with such a clear and singular vision for what I want to achieve with Kinn and my other aliases, the majority of these sonic experiments never find an appropriate home.

This show is a means to share these raw & textured sounds in short 10-30 second bursts of my personal recordings (2016-2021), from modular synth noodling, jams with friends, outtakes & studio recordings from the next album and more.

The resulting experience is familiar to any sound enthusiast, from the favoured form of procrastinating via blearily scrolling through social media; listening through snippets of new releases on Boomkat; to preparing to begin a new project by rifling through the killer euclidean rhythms you got really excited about after a bottle of bargain barrel wine but now you’re wondering if the world needs another AFX knockoff.

For those into sound and who hate music.

Channelling an array of fervent interests in many genres through different mediums (Film, Music, Sound Art and more), Kinn - the brooding-electronics project of London based artist Freddy Lomas - and his guests use original soundscapes and compositions to weave together an original concept for each month's show.

Ambient, folk, ritual, electronic, dub, free jazz and exploratory works selected by BroodingSideOfMadness.

Archival recordings of a 7-hour radio event broadcast live from the Resonance Extra studios on the 29th January 2023, featuring live performances and new and exclusive audio works.

Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with Polari Bible: Genesis (part dooey) by Stanley Schtinter.

Recorded live in one sitting at the Collegiate Church of St. Stephan in Mainz: chapters 24—30 (or ‘part dooey’) of Genesis from the King James Bible translated into the secret language of Polari. Chapters 21—23 recorded at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in New York City under the cosh of The Colloquium for Unpopular Culture (cut from Polari ‘part una’ released 2023 on purge.xxx to fit maximum duration available in cassette format; included herein), spoken by Stanley Schtinter.

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.
