Now this is something special: While our mixes normally aim at an average length of one hour, Pingipung artist (Mameen 3) and veteran leftfield selector soFa elsewhere presents almost 3,5 hours of pure joy. Here is what he says himself about this beauty:

"This collection of tracks has been inspired by a psychedelic trip near a lake in Portugal last year. It's meant to be the soundtrack of a sunny and funny afternoon of visual hallucinations and much laughing somewhere near water. Along the way it will also serve a normal day of holidays in the sun. Sip a cocktail near the beach and let yourself fade away with this magic tropical potpourri. Expect oddities from the most diverse corners in time and space."

Pingipung Podcast 153: soFa elsewhere - Music To Have Mushrooms On The Beach

For number #80 we've invited lonesome rider DJ Global Flex / @globalflex of the @zeptermusik project for a guest appearance and he brought some of his favorite psychedelic western tunes. Ideal soundtrack for dusty highway sun-down-sceneries.

Pieter Kock - Listen Listen (Easter Gathering)

This was a live-mixed transmission from the s&S studio to our friends at 'Radio is a Foreign Country'. Listeners were taken on a rolling sonic tour by way of field recorded sounds and music recorded primarily during our many years based in the peripheries of mainland China. Also included were elements, noises and music made in our erstwhile 'Bananahut Hideaway' studio in Dali, Yunnan, PRC.

Isabel explores and archives forgotten sounds from cassettes lost in time. Son Objet combines this archive of bizarre and cosmic sounds with unconventional contemporary compositions, creating a narrative that shifts between introspection and dance, always with a focus on psychedelia, spoken word, and sound collage.

She currently curates “Time Capsule”, a show on Leipzig's Sphere Radio, where she invites multidisciplinary artists from Porto to share their musical exploration projects. Besides that, she also organizes with friends a small DIY gathering nearby Porto, “Elliptica”, a 24h event with more than 20 artists involved each time, DJ sets, Live acts and Art Installations. Plays sometimes in Porto and Lisbon, although she finds her sweet spot in gatherings and festivals surrounded by nature and open dance floors as she did before at Elliptica (Portugal), Illusio (France) and Braille Satellite (Lithuania). Other than that, she rather play for her cats in her groovie apartment.

ECHOES FROM A TURKISH DISCO BENDER (RIAFC150)

Monstera Occulta invites Xogn - Bruzz Ice - S02E29 - 23.03.2025

From the forthcoming album "Nuits Sans Nuit", to be released on May 30th.

Pierre Bastien and Michel Banabila return with Nuits Sans Nuit, their second collaboration following their Baba Soirée debut from 2023. Recorded as an intuitive exchange between Rotterdam and Valencia, the album emerged from a simple ping-pong process: Banabila sculpted sounds and atmospheres, to which Bastien responded with his distinctive instrumental palette: flute-augmented cornet, mechanised log drum, and more. Mixed by Banabila, the result is a raw yet immersive work that resonates with a somnambulant, wide-awake presence.

Pierre Bastien: "When Michel had finished mixing and editing, I listened to the whole record and sensed a dreamlike quality in it. It reminded me of a book I read years ago: ‘Nuits Sans Nuit Et Quelques Jours Sans Jour’ by Michel Leiris.  Around that same time, some fifty years ago, I was playing in Nu Creative Methods with Bernard Pruvost, a duo that appears on the Nurse With Wound list. Since then, Pruvost has turned to painting, and his work is as dreamlike as our music. We asked him to contribute one of his paintings for the album cover."

Nuits Sans Nuit unfolds through shifting shades of melancholy. "I don't know how to describe the feeling of these crazy times we live in," says Banabila. "Les plus désespérés sont les chants les plus beaux,”  Bastien quotes De Musset. Wordless yet deeply expressive, the album invites listeners into a space of contemplation, where meaning emerges through immersion — like ritual music carrying an unspoken message. Echoes of saudade, blues, fado, and soleá surface in the duo’s playful noise, reimagined through their singular vocabulary.
