Wanna ease your personal mayday moment?
RADIO IRRTUM! (on air from Berlin)
is there. For you!
↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓
Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will arrive this Saturday, 2025/05/10, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about the German language aspect - it's about the #music!
This time you may experience a pleasantly weird mix of genres, like
- phunky #pop from #Lebanon and Norway
- Ukrain #Dub
- Hefty US #Bass
- New York #breakcore
- #Berlin + #Burlington Elektro #GirlPunk
- #Bonkwave (or maybe not)
- Music based on recordings of giant parking house ventilation systems
- Berlin #ModularSynth music
- Czech #TapeDelay sounds
- #Leipzig #Postpunk
- #Spaghettiwesternmusic
- dreamy London Ebass stuff
I'm glad to report that I've never had soo much #CreativeCommons music in my show – so much I had to create a special jingle 4 it - it will jingle your bells all the time now!! And there is of course a lot of overlab with #FediMusicians: Featured will be:
- @bangskij
- @oleksiy
- @Traiken
- @n3wjack
- @anja
They are all so cool: Check out their profiles and dig their music, you probably wont be disappointed with at least one of them.
The only problem: Me explaining so much about the background of most of the tracks and the fact of having lots of music to play forced me to talk over a lot of tracks. Sorry for that.
Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

I'm so happy: This particularly upcoming show will be one of the weirdest rides that ever happened at #RadioIrrtum!
Containing sonics as…
- Fusion rap blues, as if RATM had a child with Jon Spencer
- lots of (non Top10) Fedivision stuff (u know, Fedivision, that ironic answer to the horrible Eurovision Song Contest – this time with real humans without $$$ producers in the back – btw. I won't tag this because I have a sneaky suspicion people block this tag which honestly is a shame)
- so sick it's thick #halftime #bass
- even more sick #HarshNoize from Düsseldorf
- beautiful experimental #Jazz from Cologne
- a bunch of #IDM tracks with flavors like #MusiqueConcrete
- #SludgeMetal auuuus #Berlin
- Punk that will make yer ears bleed
- A Cappella from the beautiful #Basque Country
Yes, we'll wildride genres here!
Featuring those superb #Fedivese #musicians:
- @Mondgesicht
- @Langile
- @fkfd
- @ssmigiel
- @MOULE@mastodon.moule.world

And lots of #CreativeCommons licensed content! Baby, it just can't get any better!

Hey fyi
You can go to radiooooo.com (that's 5 o's), look at the world map, select a country, select a decade, and then listen to music from that time and place. For free. No ads. No idea how or why but it exists. Check it out!
Edit: you should also know that radio.garden gives access to currently airing radio stations. I am not familiar, but several people have endorsed it. Nice to have options!
Last edit, promise.
P.S. Hearthis.at and Mixcloud.com if you're interested in following DJs & listening to their mixes. Both pros and amateurs.

Also it's totally fine to ignore that German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the #music!
This time I make your Xmas presents basically wrap themselves in weird ways by just pushing out super evil sonic waves containing
- Hamburger Schule #PostPunk
- Polish #CasioPop
- #Acid
- #GrimeRap
- #DnB of various flavors
- #IDM
- #technicalDeathMetal
- the best #Berlin #Punk I've ever played (!)
- #tapeLoopRomance
Yeah, a bit of an electronic overweight with all the DnB and IDM stuff this time – sorry about that… but this basically is what came across my "desk" this month.
At least there is #CreativeCommons included – coming right of the #acidDecember24 happening pulled of by the mighty #Basspistol crew (still running, you may still submit your selfmade tracks - I know, I will) and there is, lemme repeat that, really really well done Berlin punk in here.
If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!

And this time there is a Special rolling in! The…
Chiptune PuNk Special!!
Up to date helluva #phunky #demoscene #chiptunes running on old rusty #homeComputers from the 80s like the #zxSpectrum, #C16/#Plus4, #AtariST, #C64 and of course the #Amiga.
No additional effects, no extra synths, no added drums. Just pure chippy bless!
Music full of #bitrot sample aliasing & strange chirps on brutally tackled chips like the #TED, #YM2149, #SID, and of course #Paula. No worries, I'll explain it all (however in German – as my station demands it).
With super cool music hackers like…
- @ne7
- Shiru
- @h0ffman
- STU (didn't know him when I produced this show 4 weeks ago – just found his music excellent. However this weekend I was performing next to him on stage in La Chaux-de-Fonds (not kidding - life is sometimes full of surprises) - AND WHAT A SET HE DID, LIVE on his 2 original Atari STs!!)
- LMan
- Jammer
- @bacalao
- Groo
- Xale or
- Psych858o
I've always wanted to produce THIS FEATURE and now it's right there, already uploaded to the station and ready 2 hit the aether. I'm totally happy how it came out and can't wait to have it in public. That is why I'll attach my in depth explanation trailer instead of just the animated Radio Irrtum! logo. This one: https://video.ploud.fr/w/iDTikV3q7y5YqeY2LBdLwn
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!

Kinders, es ist schon wieder soweit:
Radio Irrtum! kommt. Diesen Samstag, 20 Uhr über Alex Berlin auf UKW 91MHz/DAB+ K.7D (Stream URL oben).
Die Radiosendung, in der wir zusammen die Weiten des musikalischen Untergrunds erforschen. Praktisch ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste.
Will heißen:
U.a. geben sich Bernhard Brink und LL "I need love" Cool J die Klinke in die Hand. I'm not even kidding. Des weiteren gibt es noch Zeug, was klingt, als wäre ein Tape aus den 80ern kaputt gegangen, IDM Beatz, DnB, Bass, Dub, Experimentelle Akkordeon-Elektronik, experimental Jazz, Frauen aus Italien machen Hardcore Punk, dem gegenüber wird polnischer Schlafzimmerpunk stehen und Shoegaze darf auch nicht fehlen.
Im Grunde braucht Ihr gar nicht einzuschalten, denn damit ist ja alles gesagt.
Ansonsten ist natürlich (!) das Fediverse vertreten (s.o.), Creative Commons ist dabei - u. Genregrenzen werden grazil eingerissen.
Playlist + Manuskript nach der Show (spätestens Sonntag) hier drunter. Fragen einfach stellen – ich antworte (spätestens am Sonntag)!
