Decolonizing Southeast Asian Sound Archives is a transnational research project focused on hearing and listening as dialogical modes of knowledge formation in order to renegotiate established understandings of heritage curation.

In the first episode of the DeCoSEAS podcast we listen in to their inaugural workshop and learn more about issues surrounding sound archives and what decolonising sound archives means to different people.

"So this is it. here comes the final episode of The Russian Roulette on Bangkok Community Radio. I've decided to wrap up my residency because, you know, everything has to end sometime, right? But like they say, every ending is just a new beginning.
The first episode dropped on September 25th, 2021. That's over four years, or 1,551 calendar days ago, to be exact. Since then, we've shared so much incredible music and had some really cool guests. What a ride.

Huge love to the Bangkok Community Radio crew. Watching them grow this platform into something that pushes music and culture across Southeast Asia and beyond has been amazing. Their work is a true labor of love and enthusiasm that deserves recognition.

To everyone who tuned in and supported me - I want to say thank you, I truly appreciate your effort in this age of short attention span. All the episodes (around 50 of them) will still be up on BCR's SoundCloud, and I've put most of them in a playlist on my SoundCloud page too. There's music for every mood in there, so feel free to dive back in anytime.
So, I hope you enjoy this last one.
Keep the funk alive.
Alex"

French-born and Lisbon-based, Penelope has steadily made her mark in the underground with releases on Basic Moves’ For Playful Manners, Marite’s Tresydos, and her own label oDYSea. Her sound resists easy categorisation - a fluid blend of house, techno, and off-centre electronics that moves from cosmic to hypnotic, driven by deep basslines and shadowy textures.

Heads Up w/ Penelope @ Kiosk Radio 20.12.2025
