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!

A loose drift through misaligned pop, outsider electronics, folk shards, radio ghosts and accidental hymns, presented by Gonçalo F Cardoso. Visit www.discrepant.net/radio for more information.

This episode features Billa Ensemble, Hali Palombo, Yeast Culture, Bufflemckee, Neil Campbell, Jerome Noetinger, Alice Kemp and more.

Episode #1:

like sky like ocean

give me more of this highway and highrise

i can't be tracked on concrete

i cant' be tracked in the summer

i can't sing your anthem

i whistle monotone for your ears

my bandwidth is brittle and made of resin

too hairy to swallow

i rummage in eternity like plastic

water is my element

i m carried by the wind once dry

Missed the show? Catch up on Mixcloud.

A unique audio drama series created by writer/director Neil Cargill and musician/sound designer Simon James featuring an original electronic music score and full cast including Ian McDiarmid, famed for his role as Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars saga, as Cuttings – the radio ham who picks up a mysterious voice. The voice belongs to a girl (Joy McAvoy, from Ken Loach's The Angels' Share, and Filth) trapped in an abandoned amusement park called Akiha Den Den. Singer Wendy Rae Fowler (featured vocalist with bands such as Queens Of The Stone Age) lends her distinctive Alabama tones to the multi-layered soundscape as it becomes clear there's a whole community there, whose words and music become woven into a mesmerising plea for help. Everything becomes highly charged when one of the trapped inhabitants finds a way into our world – where his impact on us could be as devastating and far-reaching as an unknown, unseen virus.

This episode features a selection of long-form tracks by artists on Injazero.

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

In this first episode, enduring the Metal Gear Solid alert sound effect in a real-world setting, the quasi-unemployed narrator introduces his controversial "work where you like" practice; being an archivist without portfolio, researching "media of unknown origin", and clawing at the British Library's "Suppressed Safe" of restricted-access books.

Abused necks - seats of human voice - are given special attention in this episode - anatomical points of interest in the unusual (and largely unknown) literary work of Marcus S. Chambers (aka "Exact Thinker") and his anarchist counterpart Sydney Hanson. The present-day obscurity of their work forms a self-fulfilling prophecy about the silencing of knowledge, lending much unease, mystery, and squirms to outmanoeuvre "crank" vibes.

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.

Low Noise is an eight part study on a quieter side to noise - as a music or simply as its own aesthetic. Taking form as a collage of sound works from an international roster of artists and composers, the eight hour broadcast is interspersed with esoteric field recordings, film extracts & manipulated sound effects.

Phantom Circuit is a show of strange and wonderful sound waves - featuring music that is alien, electronic, exotic, essential.

In the first half of this episode, unperson traces Sheffield's experimental music from the DIY post-punk scene of the 1980s, through the pirate radio days of the 1990s, to the city's contemporary boundary pushers. In his words: "lots of bleeps, lots of bass".

In the second half, Elif Gülin Soğuksu weaves a path through the hum of Istanbul, a mix which she describes as "a glimpse into the sound world of stray dogs howling to the morning prayer in rural areas, street musicians playing traditional instruments, street vendors selling simit, fish, meat, and fruits in Beyoğlu ... Turkish classical music playing in the silversmith shop in Sultanahmet ... the micro sounds of rocks, dirt, and bushes near the historic Orthodox Orphanage in Princes' Island".

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

From the most abrasive to the unbelievably sublime, Hope Valley Cement Works attempts to curate a selection of experimental music and sounds, from collected field recordings and sound collages, to serene ambience, impressive drone and the odd deconstructed club track. A series by Kris Cooper.

New music with The Wire Magazine.

Joe and Chanelle’s audio recordings encompass ambient sounds, conversation, experimental composition and improvised instrumental response. Cassette drones, loop pedals, voice and guitar are used to echo, mimic or bend over bird calls, thunderstorms, night sounds, indistinguishable chatter, museum reverberations and urban movement. These moments captured to tape are presented in two halves as an A-side/B-side format.

Enriched by visual counterpoints for each episode, Bruna’s critical eye forms an ambiguous tonal narrative from Jake's method of stumbling into excellence. Mountain, valley, glacier, and urban horizon are presented in stereo format, to parallel the A-side/B-side format.

This program has been made on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, we pay respect to the Elders both past and present.

Project lead and sound by Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier. Creative direction by Bruna Volpi. Photography by Jake Terrey.
