Five radio producers from around the world hijack The Essay for a week to play a game of audio 'Consequences'.

As part of BBC Radio 3's celebration of twenty years of Between The Ears, the BBC's home for adventurous feature-making, five radio producers from different corners of the world play a week-long audio version of the popular childhood game Consequences.

Over the course of the week, the five elements of the narrative game are introduced - the woman, the man, where they met, what they said and the consequence ...

The series explores the many playful ways a story for the ear can be told - from documentary to drama, sound art to fantastical storytelling - with each player unaware of what has preceded them.

The Woman: A portrait of a woman looking for a lover who may only exist in her imagination ...

Australian radio producer Natalie Kestecher offers us a documentary fantasy about her unrealistic romantic demands.

First broadcast 7th October 2013 BBC Radio 3
Produced by Natalie Kestecher

Our next Hot Series continues with Pastige, curator and promoter for Nacht, Kiosk Radio resident, and nightlife connoisseur. Drawing inspiration from everyday, non-music related things, his sound is quirky yet dark, with an unique approach to blending across genres and tempos. Pastige’s sets are all about raw, DIY vibes with an experimental edge—perfect for the freaks who love to get weird on the dancefloor. After having met, it was only a matter of time before he made his mark on the series.

For his Hotbox mix, Pastige went out of the (Hot)box, weaving in excerpts from Ross G Sutherland’s Imaginary Advice podcast, building a musical journey around its story beats. Expect a clever, dance-ready mix packed with twists, turns, and plenty of moments that’ll make your feet kick. With upcoming radio and listening sets at Crevette Records, Andy Roasters, and more, consider this mix your calling card to the world of Pastige. Ready for a taste?

Born out of the closure of Copenhagen based nightclub Dunkel, Apeiron started as a means of throwing parties to help enrich the community of promoters that had started to shape the city and their local scene. Throwing parties quickly evolved into being booked to play them, with their eclectic back-to-back sets taking them outside of Copenhagen on an international scale. With a member short and three years having gone by since Apeiron was founded, we caught up with Sara, Emma and Simone to chat about changes in direction, goals, the constraints of more exposure as a crew and their early rave beginnings. Recorded in mix tradition at a friend's bunker in Copenhagen, this hour and a half Truancy Volume has plenty to commit to, with music from Jensen Interceptor, Aphex Twin, Pearson Sound, Sunday Brunch and some Solid Blake material all dotted throughout. The last song also, without wanting to give anything away, is one of the best outro tracks we've had in a while.

Beginning in the Summer of 2012 with his Low End Theory guest spots, DJ Shadow's "All Basses Covered" set has morphed and evolved to incorporate as many different contemporary genres of urban and electronic music as possible. From hardcore rap to footwork and juke and beyond, Shadow has combed the web to curate seamless and dexterous blends of the most progressive sounds bubbling up from the underground.  'Too hard?' 'Too future?' Or just too raw? As always, DJ Shadow has provoked crucial flashpoints of discussion about the discipline of DJ'ing that have defined our turbulent times.  -DJShadow.com Team
