CHANNELING W/ IVAN SMAGGHE & NATHAN GREGORY WILKINS

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

MUSIC FOR A HEALING EARTH W/ THE COSMIC TONES RESEARCH TRIO

Healing and restorative sonic transmissions for all beings.

Field Recordings

Selection and mix by Cheryl Tipp. One hour of continuous underwater field recordings, from a Humpback Whale singing in the Caribbean Sea to the metallic creaks of a Victorian pier. Many thanks go to all the recordists who gave permission for their recordings to be shared.

You can check out a full detailed breakdown of the tracklist here.
