Expanded Radio Research Unit is an independent radio program dedicated to sound experimentation and the exploration of radio as an artistic and cultural space. The program moves between music, spoken word, performance, and hybrid sonic practices, questioning the very boundaries of radio as a medium and offering a reflection on sound as a tool for imagination, connection, and transformation.

Expanded Radio Research Unit considers radio as an acoustic and social ecosystem: a space where cultures, aesthetics, and transmission practices meet. Each episode becomes a listening laboratory where sound is at the center of a research process that spans geographical territories, artistic languages, and symbolic dimensions.

The aim is to create bridges between different spaces and contexts, connecting voices, stories, and sonic forms that challenge the conventions of traditional radio communication. In this perspective, radio becomes a performative and communal medium, capable of activating imaginary soundscapes and giving voice to artistic practices that are often marginal or non-codified.

Expanded Radio Research Unit is therefore not just a program to listen to, but an experience to immerse in: an acoustic-curatorial proposal that invites the listener to rediscover radio as a critical and sensitive space.

Conceived and curated by Katatonic Silentio, Expanded Radio Research Unit is a monthly meeting at Imbarchino Del Valentino and is streamed on RBL Torino.

“It should feel like a dream, where you basically sort of remember what happened but you also don’t remember anything at all.”

this week we welcome belgium’s emily jeanne to the 909 podcast series with a mix that is driven both by ritualistic and lightspeed drum workouts. with a rippling undercurrent of psychedelia creating a whirlpool that is both fast and flow, these shifting gears throughout the mix is created with such pace and precision you are left with a hazy dream, trying to unpick the meaning and narratives behind it all. 

born and raised in ghent and now lives in antwerp, emily has previously done stints in paris & berlin, the latter being a city that ended up being an inspiring place in all aspects and a catalyst for a lot of creative projects that exist within her world now. emily made her first step in the electronic music scene around a decade ago when she gained access to cdjs in a local club that her brother was a resident at. locking herself in the space for hours on end to learns the ins and outs of the art of djing plus getting familiar with playing on big soundsystems, emily soon started playing out - first starting with minimal and house records before moving into the soundscapes that still ring true today. connecting with music both as a creative outlet and a refuge for her emotions, this is what drives emily’s approach to her mixes, sets and productions. it was never her intention to approach this as a career but instead her genuine interest, exploration to go deeper into world and narrative building alongside bringing together her different perspectives from working within fashion and her yoga practice, saying “the body movement is opening up a space in my mind for me to fill with music. when I hear music, I feel the need to move, to dance, but it also works the other way,” this has allowed emily to bring a distinctive approach to her artistic practice. 

it was her partner that encouraged emily to start producing which she found difficult at first as she was trying to steer things in the direction she wanted, however, in 2020 she made her production debut and has since landed on labels such as peder mannerfelt produktion, token, air texture and early reflex. taking things a step further, earlier this year emily launched her own label, quỳnh, which was founded on psychedelic club music expressions. the first release on the label, ‘call of the sea’, saw emily take her first step in this new adventurous and ambitious side of her productions which explores half step and drum & bass hypnosis and deep percussive explorations. this was recently followed up by her second ep on the imprint, ‘past through desire’, released earlier this month, which continues these deeper wormholes into the nocturnal realms. to tie in with the release, we speak to emily about the motivation and desires behind launching her own imprint, the process behind making her latest ep, first introductions to music and more.

This is the recording from my set at Parameter 10, Public Works, San Francisco on 17 May 2025. 

The room was comically packed by the time I started (11pm) and the crowd was visibly itching to lift off, but it was so early in the night and the rest of the (stacked) lineup leant so heavily towards UK and bass-heavy music that I decided to leave the dubstep to the professionals, keep it slow and go in the opposite direction: mid 120s, wriggly, psychedelic, gurgly, engrossing, a little weird but also sometimes fun. Maybe on some level I was level preparing myself for Return To The Source in Detroit the following weekend – though ironically I ended up playing much faster and with more broken beats at RTTS than I did here. In any case, I had a blast. Been really enjoying exploring the 120-130 zone recently. Thanks to Nick for having me back, hope you all enjoy the recording.

Human Lessons #119 - Nothus

Samuel van Dijk is a true musical chameleon, a producer who moves fluidly between distinct sonic identities. Whether crafting electro-tinged works as VC-118A, deep dub textures as Mohlao, or the submerged aquatic soundscapes of Multicast Dynamics, his mastery of the craft is absolute.

Recorded within the intimate glow of the Monument Festival after-party in Oslo, this session captures the final, tender exhale of a weekend defined by shared energy. Multicast Dynamics guides us into a restorative space where time dilates and the pulse slows. He navigates a kaleidoscope of genre and emotion. Shifting effortlessly between the meditative drift of new age, ethereal ambient soundscapes, and the grounded, organic rhythms of trip-hop and experimental world music, the set is unified by a palpable sense of warmth. It is a selection mixed with mood and the heart of love - a gentle, reality-warping trip designed to heal and elevate.
