    For more worrying doomer facts, don't hesitate to tune into a new very drug-free issue of…

    RADIO IRRTUM!

    --- ↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓ ---

    The next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will arrive this Saturday, 2026/08/29, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time/CET. On Alex Berlin at DAB+ K12D in #Berlin/Brandenburg and worldwide @ https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

    A German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music. Don't worry about the #GermanLanguage aspect - this is about #music!

    This time we'll have...

    - phunky live (recorded) NeoJazz
    - sometimes quite tricky #Beatmaker stuff
    - Brazilian 140s #Halftime #Bass
    - Rough British Bass Beasts
    - #LiquidDnB
    - #Psychedelic Stoner #DoomMetal
    - #BlackGaze #Doom
    - #Hardcore
    - several forms of #Punk
    - and #Acappella #SurfMusic

    I've got lots of electronic or sample based music within the last issues, a bit too much perhaps. So this time we'll have a cut: 50% will be electronic/sample based mostly - but the other half is completely handmade, with a surprising lot of pure dooooomy metal, 🤟 yes!

    All that with lots of #CreativeCommons content, cuz music wants 2b free. Also many tracks played aren't on #Spotify - cannot bash 'em enough. And most important: We've got outstanding #FediArtists in it, like @[email protected], @[email protected] or @[email protected] . Thanks for making the Fediverse such a nice n cozy diverse space of culture!

    I'll post playlist + manuscript later here. Having questions? I'll gladly answer. Just ask. CU all on Saturday! :)

    And now: LET'S CHANGE INTO STONE!

  8. #fedihelp #FediArtists #fedimusicians

    Hello music makers. I am looking for some fedi musician, who used to call himself "Bela Lugosis dad". Does anyone know about his whereabouts?

    I'm asking because I think 2 years ago, for Fedivision 2024 (what a cool thing this was!), but maybe just coincidentally right during this time frame (in spring 2024) he posted an instrumental of his.
    Not sure if he asked for a singer back then, but I took the opportunity and did sing over his instrumental- Just a quick demo, but I think it came out pretty nice already. His instrumental had some noticeable timing issues - very probably because of DAW latency, nothing that could have been solved; but maybe somehow frustrating for Bela Lugosis dad. He played drums, guitar and bass. And all this damn good, especially his guitar work was excellent. As well as the composition.

    My problem. He has vanished. I can't find my conversation with him, I can't find his handle - I don't even know if "Bela Lugosis dad" was his handle or his nick.

    Can anyone help? Please? I need to get in touch with him.
    Any hint is welcome!
    Thank you.
  9. Yo, gibt es eigentlich irgendeinen unpeinlichen Open Source Image Katalog, speziell für Creative Commons SVGs, wo ich das hochladen könnte?

  10. I did a thing!
    A music video actually. Accomplishing my new track.

    Ich und meine Fedies

    In English: "Me 'n my fedies". It's a praise for all the kewl beings in the Fediverse (the "Fedies" :) ). You all make this wonderful place what it is, so therefore this track is for you :)
    I was thinking about making an English version as well, but I simply cannot affort the time at the moment. Sorry about that, hope you'll like it anyway.

    I mean, it's maybe the first German Language #Bonkwave track, or am I wrong? However I cannot rule out that it's in fact #noBonkwave . Not sure here.

    Here is the video (Peertube exclusive btw.):

  11. So Kinners - is soweit!

    Mein die nmi! Track zur Huldigung der Menschen im Fediverse ist raus:

    ICH UND MEINE FEDIES!

    Mit VIDEO! Exklusiv auf Peertube!

    Video haben @tunda und ich gedeixelt!

    Eigentlich wollte ich nur die Hintergrundmusik für ein Teaser-Invite machen — für das "Fedi am See"-Camp im August (bis Ende Mai könnt Ihr Euch noch anmelden! Siehe Profil von @fediamsee )… aber am Ende ist ein kompletter Track entstanden.

    Der hier:

    Viel Spaß! :)

  12. The live streamed gigs by both Calin Dica (@akash) and Nightmother (@alisynthesis) are now available on demand in the Live Performances section of NHAMtv.

    That’s a total of 7 live RFFF25 performances available on demand via NHAM (8 if you include our own mixtape show at the start of the event).

    Plenty of great performances to catch up on!

    #FediArtists #FediMusic #LiveMusic #LiveStream #music #RFFF25

  13. [Read in full on NHAM]

    Nueva Hora Agosto Mix – NHAM Mixtape 3

    Tune in, slip back and enjoy the summery-haze vibe of the third NHAM mixtape. Recommended accompaniment: A spare three quarters of an hour, a warm sun, a light breeze, a comfy spot and a cool drink.

    (Apologies to folk listening in the Southern Hemisphere. Despite this mix being a ‘hot summer’ soundtrack the tunes are all super enough to be enjoyed in any weather, but it’s in the dripping heat of the hottest summer month that they’ve been put together at my end so it does have a natural summer vibe!)

    [If viewing from the Fediverse you need to click here to listen to the mixtape on NHAM]

    If you’d prefer you can listen to the tracks as a radio show initially aired on Radio Free Fedi (click me).
    1. Ricky a.k.a. Impulso BioelectricoSay Yeah
      Arrrrgh Yeah. Pump it up. When the sun shines and the heat hazes, this classic hip hop groove is the perfect accompaniment. I only wish it were three times as long. Ricky is from Palma in Spain and this track comes from the 2023 album De Buenas a Primeras – a collection of fine, short tunes.
    2. Key 13L.U.C.A.
      Key 13 has such a varied bank of works it was hard to know which song to choose, but I really love L.U.C.A. Some great vocal effects combine with synthetic and natural instruments for a beautifully balanced piece. It’s a pretty telling of the story of the connected nature of us and all life on earth.
    3. DigitsLost Dream
      If you told me this was a new Junior Boys track I’d not have any reason to doubt it. -From the soft yet authoritative vocal to the jittery electronic beeps and beats. That by the way is very much a compliment as Junior Boys are one of the favourite artists of my lifetime.
    4. BandstahlI’m falling
      Okay, if you’re not in a hot place right now just close your eyes and imagine being on a sandy beach in the sun with a cool breeze blowing through as you listen to this. Life’s good, isn’t it? That’s how this one makes me feel. Deep beat, luscious vocal, warm bass, I’m falling!
    5. White TownTimeslip  
      Yes, THE White Town – I told you the coolest kids reside in the Fediverse. I was a touch obsessed with Your Woman back in 1997, so finding Jyoti aka White Town in The Fediverse was a very pleasant surprise. Timeslip is a joyous-sounding, catchy number although the lyrics hint at something darker in the underbelly.
    6. AxWaxSchrödinger’s Bonk
      What is Bonk? Can you handle Bonk? Take a dive in to the Bonkwave with master-proponent of the illusive movement to find out! I’d tell you more if I knew but I’m still working Bonkwave out myself a month or so after taking my first dive in to its depths. The one thing I do know so far is that I like it!
    7. XylanderHectic Life (Busy Busy Busy!)
      This is truly masterful. A 50 year old tape of Xylander’s uncle and grandmother recording a message to another family member has been expertly set in to a speedy dance track. Xylander lists Squarepusher and Autechre among his influences and you can really hear it in his work.
    8. FastacheeLonely Negatives 
      I love the way this track builds as it wakes up from the intro and moves through the gears before unearthing some rare Fastachee vocals in the second half. It’s got industrial vibes, in the electronics department, and has a real get up and go about it.
    9. YACHTFinger in Your Eye 
      Fine, jaunty, indie-pop from Young Americans Challenging High Technology – something all of us within The Fediverse are doing whether we realise it or not! I was big in to YACHT back in 2009 so to have rediscovered them via Mastodon this month was a true delight. To then catch up on everything I’ve missed in recent years and hear that they’ve not lost any of their fun, unique sound means I’m now fully back aboard the vessel!
    10. Fräulein Verdrieslich & Torsten TorstenJackentaschen-Chanson  
      According to the deepl translation tool Jackentaschen-Chanson translates as Jacket Pocket Song. I found this version on Torsten Torsten’s Peertube account and it’s a lovely live performance by the two artists in a park on a summer’s day. Apparently they had about 50 more verses for the song they could have included. Sadly my German isn’t good enough to know what they’re singing about but the joy from the performance needs no translation. I also love that at the start of the recording you can just hear the end of Fräulein singing Caravan of Love – one of my all time fave songs.
    11. Huge SharkA Prayer for Rain  
      Just like with Kydia in the NHAM 1 mixtape a powerful voice sucks me in so deep here. On this occasion it’s that of Valerie Polichar of Huge Shark. She wrote this song back in 1990 in reference to the droughts experienced in California at the time due to the early onset of climate change. The fact that things have only got worse since make this record continue to stand out. I want future generations to live lives where they can enjoy the best things in life such as Valerie’s voice and music without being impeded by the dystopian effects of climate change we’re hurtling toward. In order for that to happen we need to make radical changes to the way we live at present, and quickly!
    12. The Liquid ClearSociate  
      Just like in last month’s mixtape the closing track is one to leave you hanging there, yearning for more. Experimental producer Bree D aka The Liquid Clear makes sumptuous sounds from Washington. Sociate is just one of many examples that can be found on her Bandcamp profile. It carries a spacey, nostalgic vibe complete with Joy Orbison style break down. Enjoy!

    Nowt Hat’swhatic All Music – NHAM Mixtape 1

    Hit play on the first track and let the awe-inspiration commence through 45 minutes and 12 tracks. Lowdown lower down (thoughts, attributions, links).

    [If viewing from the Fediverse you need to click here to listen to the mixtape on NHAM]

    If you’d prefer you can listen to the tracks as a radio show initially aired on Radio Free Fedi (click me).
    1. CobaltHome
      I came across Cobalt from the fantastically Euro-pop track, ‘Versio’, written for Fedivision 2024. Cobalt is a Finnish musician and linguist, and ‘Home’ is the perfect opener to the very first NHAM mix tape.
    2. sknobDriven By Desire (Extended Mix)
      sknob is another artist who had a strong Fedivision entry with ‘Living the Dream’. Having had a nice rummage through the wonderful back catalogue I was taken by ‘Driven by Desire’ both musically and in its deeper meaning. Shades of Clor, Roxy Music and David Byrne might be something an ‘AI’ generator could output, but the innovation it could not.
    3. MeljoannEXIT
      ’EXIT’ has Let’s Eat Grandma vibes. Meljoann’s awesome creativity extends beyond her music and in to her videos too. Well worth a dive via her Peertube channel … you might be lucky enough to get swept in to the Mustics® craze whilst there too. I’m not really sure how to describe Meljoann as a female Prince without calling her Princess, but it’s what I want to do!
    4. bgmYou Can’t See It
      Get funky, lo-fi, baseline, harmonise. Can you see it? Now wiggle!
    5. KydiaHoly Grail
      This is just an incredible piece of craftsmanship which gets better and better the deeper you delve and the more you listen. The composition, the lyrics, the production: It’s a masterpiece, made even more remarkable when Kydia’s story is told. -She is lady with ADHD and a Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) having been born with Microtia grade 3 and Atresia (a deformed outer ear and ear canal, and single-sided deafness). Cosmetic surgery a few years back to get a prosthetic outer ear, followed by the fitting of a titanium post in to her skull means she can now hear in stereo where the majority of her life she only heard in mono. Kydia is a special talent and Holy Grail could easily be a platinum-selling number one the world over either if Kydia were signed and thrust in to the pop world or if the song was given to one of the superstars of today.
    6. MyLoFy feat. Aaron – The Funniest Thing
      This mixtape project came about thanks to Fedivision 2024 and I could easily have chosen 12 songs from Fedivision for this first mixtape, but wanting to get discovering new songs straight away this is the only inclusion from this year’s contest. The Funniest Thing was one of my three votes and if I only had one vote this is the song I would have given it to. A Retro-Pop track tinged with Alphaville about the detachment of conscience people might experience using social media. Whatsmore it was produced exclusively using (lots of) free and open source software. Although perhaps ironically it’s the only song on the list which isn’t linked because I can’t find any MyLoFy music on any of the Fair Music Platforms. I’m reliably informed that a Mirlo profile is on the roadmap though so look out for that!
    7. VCS2600Databahn Lowrider
      With a funky swagger a la Chromeo or Har Mar Superstar I dare you not to bounce along with your arm bopping aloft as you cruise in your imaginary ride to VCS2600.
    8. lost in the looptell_me_what_you_see
      Another really catchy little number with a funky groove to keep you on the regular twitch. lost in the loop does shy vulnerability well, laying the cards on the table with tell_me_what_you_see and delivering a right royal winner.
    9. MishathingsStart Anew
      Teaching Political Ecology and Earth Science at Amsterdam University College by day and busting uplifting tunes by night, Misha can momentarily take you to a space and time where it’s all alright with Start Anew, even though it’s really not, is it? We’re in this together.
    10. SaktiSomerset
      Having previously lived in the county I was drawn to this track when checking out some of Sakti’s back catalogue and it’s an epic monster of an audio-trip right up my street. Extremely proficient master crafting here.
    11. Shannon CurtisExtraordinary People
      I’m an 80s kid and Shannon habits 1980s spirit with aplomb, taking me in with the first bang of the synth-wave drum. Extraordinary People is a nostalgia-driven, synth-pop ballad that calls, ‘Look at us, we are extraordinary people’. A nod to all of the artists featured on this page and so many more pouring out their creativity in to the Fediverse and beyond.
    12. Under Shaded Treesplease don’t worry
      AKA Chris Lowis said that this track sounded, ‘Like an end of EP kind of track’, so put it at the end of his beautiful 1858 EP … a trick I’ve repeated here to close out the very first NHAM mixtape. Under Shaded Trees is blissful serenity, wistful but optimistic and I love it.

    I hope you’ve enjoyed listening as much as I’ve loved curating (and dancing along 👇). See you next month!
