Radio Irrtum! announcement
(again… as every month!)
↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓
RADIO IRRTUM! is back ! \o/ Saturday, 2024-02-17 at 8:00PM (UTC+1) at Alex Berlin/FM 91 MHz/DAB+ Ch.7D, or via stream: https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio/15-live-auf-91.0
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastnesses of the #underground. Emitted transmissions will raise your attention for new unheard #music all over the genre spectrum from all over the world. Btw.: Forget about that German language aspect - it's all about the music!
And this time the topic of the whole is "hitter of crinders" (should be a fair translation of "Blocküren von Tieren") which by the way has absolutely nothing to do with anything that will happen during the show and indeed makes no sense at all. Just as I like things to be.
As there will be:
- #DanceMacabre #Pop
- #beatmaker stuff with lots of #soul, even Jazz
- the ultimate #bastardPop
- a #worldExclusive tune as good as weird (!)
- #Acid like it's 1908. Yes, 1908.
- phreaky #Bass
- #industriPhemale #noize (oh yeah, indrustriphemale needs to become real!)
- #blackMetal of #Doom
- phemale #punk
- a new #GenialeDilletanten track
- THE German underground #superGroup
- Chilly #cassette #LowFidelity
Because #RadioIrrtum always feels connected to open social networks, lots of mighty' n world dominating Fediverse artists will be featured, like @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected] or @[email protected] ! Because of your great music!
Also #CreativeCommons then and when. Because if you ask me, the music industry as we know it has to die.
As always I'll post playlist and manuscript later here (provided I’m at home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions about the music – I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
C U all tonight! :)

Tatsache, Radio Irrtum! ist wieder da! Samstag Abend, 20 Uhr über Alex Berlin auf UKW 91MHz/DAB+ Ch.7D (Stream URL oben).
Radio Irrtum! ist meine Radiosendung, in der wir zusammen die Weiten des musikalischen Untergrunds erforschen.
Thema diesmal: "Blocküren von Tieren"; leider ohne Zeit dafür zu haben, denn wird haben bereits genug zu tun mit:
- Dance Macabre
- Souly und Jazzy Beatmaker Zeugs
- unglaublichen Bastardpop
- Einen weltexklusiven Track nur für Radio Irrtum!
- Acid, als wäre es 1908
- Bass
- IndustriPhemale Noize
- Doomy BlackMetal
- phemale Punk
- Neues von den Genialen Dilletanten
- DIE deutsche Underground-SuperGroup
- LowFidelity von Kassette
Haufenweise Fediverse-Künstler*innen sind dabei (siehe oben), ein paar Creative Commons Tracks sind dabei - vielleicht stirbt dann die Musikindustrie schneller. Grüße oben, Playlist + Manuskript nach der Show (spätestens Sonntag) hier drunter. Fragen einfach stellen – ich antworte (spätestens am Sonntag)!
Bis morgen Abend! :) -
Attention, this is nothing but an announcement of…
RADIO IRRTUM!
↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓
Yes, the upcoming issue of #RadioIrrtum! will happen this Saturday, 2025/01/18, 8:00pm UTC+1/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard #music all over the genre spectrum all over the planet. Also it's totally fine to ignore that German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the #music!
This issue felt strange to produce, as it happened abroad, with only my microphone and my laptop: Because of a difficult to handle issue with my parents (still going on). On the other hand, doing that helped me to stay sane… and that's partially because there is:
- #ArabicPop
- #Beatmaker tracks
- #Triphop
- krauty #Shoegaze
- Dubby #Acid
- #IDM with various flavors
- Dubby #Postpunk
- #60sBeat (are The Kings back?)
- fierce #Punk
- #ElectricCello music
There are #fediverseArtists featured, like @[email protected] (with a track not yet available!) or @[email protected] with her unbelievable energetic work. There will be #CreativeCommons Tracks (one once again by Xylander), and lots of music not (yet?) available at Spotify.
If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Radio Irrtum! kündigt sich an → für Samstag (18.01.), 20:00 über Alex Berlin auf FM 91MHz/DAB+ K.7D (Stream URL oben).
Die seltsam funkelnde Radiosendung, in der wir die planetenumfassenden Weiten des musikalischen Untergrunds erforschen.
Es fühlte sich übrigens komisch an, diese Sendung unterwegs zu produzieren, nur mit Laptop und Mikro – aufgrund eines (andauernden) heftigen Krankheitsfalls bei meinen Eltern. Aber irgendwie hat es mir mental geholfen, das durchzuziehen; vielleicht auch, weil folgende Genres dabei waren
- Arabisch-sprachiger Pop
- Triphop
- krauty Shoegaze
- Dubby Acid
- IDM verschiedener Richtungen
- Dubby Postpunk
- 60s Beat als wären The Kings zurück
- krassen Punk
- Electric Cello Musik
Fediverse Künstler:innen sind dabei (u.a. @[email protected] mit einem bislang unveröffentlichtem Track oder @[email protected] mit ihrer wahnsinnig energetischen Musik), Creative Commons Musik ist dabei und jede Menge Tunes, die Ihr (derzeit?) nicht auf Spotify (und ähnlichen Services) finden werdet.

Numskulls, Harlequins & Amusing Misleaders – NHAM Mixtape 10
Released on April Fools’ Day I had to give this one a fitting title. But the tomfoolery stops there. There are no pranks below. Only more great tunes found in The Fediverse.
Last month a brilliant little album of collaborations between artists who connected via Radio Free Fedi was released, including one track featuring yours truly. It was such a top album that I’ve included five of the collaborations within this mix.
The radio show version of this mixtape (where you have to put up with me talking a bit too) can be found on Audio Interface (@audiointerface) from the first Monday of the month.
[If viewing from the Fediverse you need to click here to listen to the mixtape on NHAM]

2. You are not alone by C.Circo and sknob
CC-BY-NC-SA
@CCirco, @sknobAm I only dreaming? This song is a dream in every sense. I feel like I’ve drifted off under a tree on a lovely sunny day and am dozing in and out of a lovely light dream.
3. origami universe by pulu

@ahihiOriginally released on the first disc of last autumn’s 3-disc Not What I Call Bonkwave compilation, origami universe is a triumph in glitching, breaking and euphoric chanting. pulu is Miranda, a ‘computer sound worker’ from Finland.

@controlfreakI get real Underworld vibes from this beast of a tune taken from the 2002 album ‘radiate’. Control yourselves!
5. Night Dad by Galaxy Brain
All Rights Reserved. Used with permission
@galaxybrainLondon electronic music producer Galaxy Brain named this song after a Korg M1 patch. It comes from a four track EP of the same name which she describes as a love letter to late 80s and early 90s deep house.
6. The Space Between the Sea and the Sky (Default Media Transmitter remix) by Key13
CC BY-NC-SA
@keefmarshallIn mystic tradition ‘thin places’ are energy fields where it is said that the veil between our world and the eternal world is thin. The space on the horizon where the sky meets land or sea is often cited as one of these places. This track captures that essence magnificently.
7. Nothing Comes Around by Edith Frost

@edithfrostA gorgeous folk pop song from a brand new album by the singer-somgwriter from Austin, Texas.
8. Shame by Matt Young & Edvards
All Rights Reserved. Used with permission
@mattyoung, @EDVARDSIn this relatable tale of regretting youthful misdemeanour, Matt and Edvards combine superbly for a dose of melodic, retro pop-rock.
9. Leave the Light On by Futzle featuring Aelyth from sideSister
All Rights Reserved. Used with permission
@futzle, @elsemusic, @jimbobEthereal vocals, captivating chord changes and a swinging beat that you can’t help but nod, tap and groove to.
10. ZOE by Center of the Universe
All Rights Reserved. Used with permission
@couniversRTFM! 😂 Great line. From the album COU which contains eight 3-letter-acronym titled songs, ZOE – presumably about the electric car – heaps the fun in to the funky. The deep vocal and content matter makes this a perfect sequel to Hot Chip’s Playboy (driving in a Peugeot with the top down) for the renewables generation! Although I’m not sure whether Norwegian DJ and artist Center of the Universe sees it that way, citing the album as a collection of obsolete technologies which once had promises of a brighter future.
11. DOINITRITE by Babu Menos
All Rights Reserved. Used with permission
@babumenosWow! Nods to Byrne, Gabriel and Bowie in this epic juxtaposition of a funky, happy-sounding groove that depicts an angry, greedy, needy, ruthless and narcissistic world leader who considers himself infallible.

Comfy Collaborations
Review by @inpc
Comfy Collaborations is a collection of six co-productions by artists who connected through Radio Free Fedi:
Key 13 – The Space Between the Sea and the Sky (Default Media Transmitter Remix)
Starting with atmospheric ambient drones swirling around your head and steadily building, the track breaks out into some lovely crunchy rhythm, this version of Key 13’s track from Default Media Transmitter has a dystopian futurist feel about it (or does that just make it current idk?), Stuttering, echoing electronic drums joined by deep synth drones, but rather than stay in darker moods, the track sounds optimistic with some lovely twists and turns, becoming ever more dreamy and curious as the track progresses, culminating in a beautiful, soulful, bleepy breakdown. The drums return and all is well with the world. Perhaps there is hope for humanity after all…
Futzle ft. Aelyth from sideSister – Leave The Light On
An old time swing rhythm is quite the style shift from the previous track but the sense of optimism prevails and the opening line ‘I have to stand up, I have to be strong everyday’ is a sentiment I can certainly relate to. Aelyth’s vocal shines through on this track with electric piano and groovy tremolo’d guitar sounds. It makes me think of something Tarantino would use alongside some ultra violence, not that this track sounds at all aggressive, the total opposite in fact but I hope that helps portray the atmosphere of the sound? Well at least it does to this listener and it’s lovely song. Hopeful, optimistic and self affirming. Very cool.
C.Circo and sknob – You Are Not Alone
There’s something reminiscent of The Black Dog here in the way electronic textures are used to create a sentimental feel. The vocal sounds like it could be lifted from something very old, but it’s processed in such a way to give a contemporary feel “You are far away but you are not alone” There’s so much going on here, pitched vocal samples meet acoustic guitar and lovely Mellotronesque synth pads, cool drum machine programming. A gorgeous, intriguing piece of music. The sort of piece you keep finding new elements to on repeated listening. Something I feel compelled to do. Lovely stuff.
Matt Young & Edvards – Shame
A big bold opening with an 80s feel, not so much in the big snare, big hair kind of way, this is more reminiscent of The Cure to these old ears (hold on, didn’t I just say not big hair?! Damn, that will serve me right for trying to be clever). Another swing rhythm but this time with big, bold plonky piano keys with an open, chunky feel. This song tells a story of childhood mischief and a poor little robin being shot. Some childhood regret evident for this misdemeanour, ‘the things we do when we’re young and dumb, the things we wish weren’t true’ is certainly very relatable. There’s a sort of Tom Waits quality to the production with some nice story telling to boot. Poor little robin!
Secret Deal – Think Twice
At first listen I thought Philip Oakley had appeared in my shed! Lush, warm synth chords and a strident vocal reminiscent of The Human League but as the song progresses, more modern sounds come into focus with swooping, rising synths and funky guitar with a nod to Daft Punk. I should add an apology here, as a music maker myself, I’ve been critical of music journalists comparing work to others but, as my first music review demonstrates, it is a handy short hand to describe the sound. So apologies if I piss off the musicians involved! This is a great, sunny, good-time feeling song: funky disco with pulsing synth lines. Very nice.
Default Media Transmitter/Xylander – That One Day
This sounds big from the get go, crunchy atmospheric synths joined by a low pitched computerised vocal, there’s a reel sense of doom here. Dark, industrial, electronica with a dystopian vibe. Like a modern day Pink Floyd a la Welcome To The Machine. It paints a picture of desolate, dusty landscapes, maybe the last thing heard before the planet is devoured by an ever expanding sun? I’m not sure but I am sure I like it. Very cool.
Released March 10th 2025, listen to Comfy Collaborations here.

Proud to announce our paper on "Automatic Unit Test Data Generation and Actor-Critic Reinforcement Learning for Code Synthesis" has been accepted to Findings of #EMNLP2023 .
This is joint work with Matthieu Zimmer, Gerasimos Lampouras, Derrick Goh Xin Deik, and Ignacio Iacobacci .Code Synthesis, the generation of programming language code from a natural language description, is a challenging problem for #LLMs.
Various Reinforcement Learning methods have been proposed to improve performance of pretrained models.
One #RL approach to this problem is to use functional tests (Unit Tests) as the reward signal; however, this requires data consisting of (i) NL problem prompts, (ii) varied unit tests for each problem to assess functional correctness, which is often unavaible. Some datatasets such as #HumanEval and #MBPP exist; however, these are limited in size and contain (relatively) simple problems.We show how to programmatically derive new training data for functional test-based Code Synthesis RL, generating and converting automatic tests from a strongly typed language (Java) to a weakly typed language (Python). This allows us to generate arbitrary amounts of test-annotated data.
We then introduce a very straight-forward yet effective practical REINFORCE-based Actor-Critic RL approach that makes use of Unit Test annotated data to tune a function-level Code Synthesis LM.
Crucially, we find that keeping the Critic in sync with the Policy yields better results than pretraining and freezing the Critic.
Use of our augmentation data further improves model performance.Preprint available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.13669 ; code and model will be made available.

plat gf is really doing the godess's work getting these #retail jobs and quitting the instant they're unreasonable. Businesses'll learn to stop being a-holes if they can't keep staff in their store
She put #cashier and #driveThrough on her application and they had her washing dishes, cooking, and cleaning first in training and weren't flexible when she said she wouldn't stand over a hot stove for an extended period of time and she didn't apply for #lineCook. So she #quit :aqua_dab: #pgf -
