The Early Bird Show w/ Maria Somerville & Baptist Goth 290823

Early this year, we reviewed Nour Sokhon's Beirut Birds, which Richard Allen found to be "teeming with urgency, ... an example of an album released at exactly the right time." Another recent record, Beyond All Borderlines, is an evocative collaboration fusing Sokhon's field recordings and electronics with piano improvisations from Montreal's Stefan Christoff, released on Ruptured. Late last year, that label released Yara Asmar's engrossing Stuttering Music, and we've been deeply impressed by their ongoing output, with some very exciting releases on the horizon. For this joint mix, regular mix contributor Christoff joins Ruptured label owner Ziad Nawfal to select and mix various songs with field recording contributions by Sokhon. The accompanying artwork is by Mexico City based artist Margarita Barros, who also created the cover art for Beyond All Borderlines. Happy Listening.

GLOBAL DANCE SUSPENSE 20250405 STRANDED FM: LIVE RECAP W/ PING-EN HUNG & NDNMK SOLUTIONS

A monthly selection of alternative and experimental music from Lebanon and the MENA region, selected by radio host and music producer Ziad Nawfal. Featuring new and older tracks, live sessions, exclusive demos and more, from up-and-coming artists as well as established ones.
“This mix, Qulubuna, is named after a track I composed for the Zilzal: Sonic Ceremony compilation. Qulubuna means “our hearts” in Arabic, and it reflects the whirlwind of emotions I’ve been experiencing over the past year and a half, watching the violence escalate—and continue to escalate—from afar. Through sound, I try to process the grief, helplessness, and longing that come with bearing witness from a distance.”

Ruptured Music • Guest Mix by Nour Sokhon w/ Ziad Nawfal (06.05.2025)

In this conversation editor-in-chief Irene de Craen talks with visual artist, educator and independent researcher Milena Bonilla about her work on the herbarium of Rosa Luxemburg and the many connections to epistemologies anathema to capitalism as well as historic and present-day struggles. Throughout her work, Bonilla has researched how the dismissal of the spiritual and other meanings of plants have caused a lot of violence in the world. Taking Luxemburg as an example, we examine how listening to plants and elements that are considered silent in western thinking, is both an act of resistance as well as care.

‘Nervous Energy Diaries’ is a podcast series exploring the most intimate and magical
aspects of musical obsession, told through the voices of those who have made this art form
their life. Serena Tutino, the founder of SUBURBIA together with Carla Giannuzzi, kicked off
this first episode in conversation with Drew McDowall, from the past to the present, from
Coil to his solo project.
Carla recently graduated in conservation and management of cultural activities; her
thesis explores the biographical, professional, and artistic journey of Coil, whom we
regard as one of the most influential groups in the post-industrial and experimental
music scene from the 1980s to the early 2000s.
This interview was recorded on the 24th of July between Amsterdam - NY -
Castellana Grotte.
