1: TRANSISTOR SIX  – Back Yard Rocketship  - our adopted theme tune so you know where you are. Transistor Six is Frances Castle, there’s lots of her fine art and creativity to explore so please please do. You can now get the whole tune downloaded for yourselves and find links to her work and lots more over at www.myspace.com/transistorsix

2: SKULLFLOWER  -  Black Wind (Crucial Blast) The UK noise-trance legends have a new album out on excellent San Francisco label (and US home of The Mass and So I Had To Shoot Him!) Crucial Blast. And now because we’re in a rush we shall borrow some words from the label website - A black void of utterly destroyed drone rock and blearly eyed violent meditation, triumphant recordings and apocalyptic mega-metal and machine smashing kraut rock, radioactive rage swarms and an album built on some of the heaviest harshest abrasive sounds known to beast. The album is called Tribulation  - www.crucialblast.net   - and so what if the nine tracks are all rather alike and all long ass and they’d do your head in if I played it all on the radio (I would if our show was more than an hour long, never enough time) so we just dipped in to three tracks and blasted you a taste or two and them dipped out again. 

3: LADY PROMISE - The Battle (download demo) – Straight out of New York City and out to Jackie Chan your ass. I hadn’t heard of her until this week, got an e.mail from her, something about not letting her smile fool anyone and how she had words to spit – and indeed she does, doing it all herself and takeing no shit from anyone, cutting edge streetwise rap girl in total artistic control – go download the non radio friendly cussing everyone who gets in her way version for yourself over at www.myspace.com/ladypromise 

4: CRASS – What Do You Want (Overground) – A previously unreleased version from the soon to be released Anti-Capitalism: Anarcho-Punk Compilation Vol 4 album (out Oct 9) Another 23 of your finest authority loving pop hits and the fourth in this fine series focusing on that classic period of anarch punk history that was the start of the 80’s. This time featuring Crass, Kravats, Culture Shock, Conflict, Atomic Filth, Antisect and lots more. Excellent sleeve notes including an introduction from Penny Rimbaud, if you don’t know that vital period of punk rock history then go explore, if you do then these albums are full of treasures and treats and things you probably lost when your bus got trashed in the Beanfield – www.overgroundrecords.co.uk

It features programmes made by musicians, artists and critics who represent the diversity of London's arts scene, with regular contributions from Billy Jenkins, Savage Pencil, John Bisset, Mike Barnes, Matthew  Glammore, Peter Cusack, Caroline Kraabel, Clive Graham, Viv Corringham, Chris Cutler, Charlie Dark, Magz Hall, Harmon E.

Resonance104.4fm is bringing a multitude of experimental sound, new music, radio art and interaction to the capital's airwaves. Resonance104.4fm broadcasts from the heart of London and is simultaneously streamed on the web at www.resonancefm.com where you can also check out our full programme listings.  Resonance104.4fm is the only station of its kind in the UK, providing access radio for London's arts community.

Imagine a radio station like no other. A radio station that makes public those artworks that have no place in traditional broadcasting. A radio station that is an archive of the new, the undiscovered, the forgotten, the impossible. That is an invisible gallery, a virtual arts centre whose location is at once local, global and timeless. And that is itself a work of art. Imagine a radio station that responds rapidly to new initiatives, has time to draw breath and reflect. A laboratory for experimentation, that by virtue of its uniqueness brings into being a new audience of listeners and creators. All this and more,  Resonance104.4fm aims to make London's airwaves available to the widest possible range of practitioners of contemporary art.
