Tse Tse Fly Middle East was a nonprofit arts and activist organisation that existed from 2015 until 2023. Throughout that time, it presented a monthly two-hour radio programme showcasing sound art and experimental music from the Middle East, India and North Africa.

Knut Aufermann & Sarah Washington, Xentos Fray Bentos, Frauke Berg, Katharina Bihler & Stefan Scheib, DinahBird, dieb13 & Billy Roisz, Anna Friz, and Ralf Schreiber broadcast live from Ürzig, Broughton, Düsseldorf, Saarbrücken, Paris, Vienna, Santa Cruz and Cologne.

During the lockdown, a revolving group of sound artists from across Europe and the US convened live on air with a unified aim: to gather sound-pollen and transmit codified messages to kindred folk, exploring whatever was on their minds. Style guide: Anything goes.

Here we broadcast some selected live works by the CWCH Collective.

This episode features music by Louis Reith, Monopoly Child Star Searchers, Agartha, and more.

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

In this episode, Dronica meets Dalila Kayros for a guest mix.

Sardinian singer and composer Dalila Kayros creates avant-garde indie electronic songs with dark ambient elements. Her music evolves through concept albums, which see Kayros creating surreal images relating to symbolism and a dystopian aesthetic, blending lead with ritualistic vocals and combining quiet and fierce moods.

"We'll walk on different terrains, from an etheric sound to a scream from the guts! So from a quiet sideral night to a screaming foggy day where the sun hits as strong as ever!" – Dalila Kayros.

Nicola Serra, founder of East London's experimental music festival Dronica, presents new and archival material.

Music by John Morris, Viejo Café de Europa, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Petunia-Liebling MacPumpkin, Revbjelde, Dead Can Dance, Grant Moros, Piero Umiliani, Yellow6, Malaria, Domingues & Kane, The Residents, Djivan Gasparyan, Norah Lorway and Portal.

"I stood here, and saw before me the unutterable, the unthinkable gulf that yawns profound between two worlds, the world of matter and the world of spirit; I saw the great empty deep stretch dim before me, and in that instant a bridge of light leapt from the earth to the unknown shore, and the abyss was spanned.”
– Arthur Machen
