IN FOCUS: JUDEE SILL

An hour of music from one-of-a-kind singer songwriter Judee Sill. A figure in the 1970s Laurel Canyon scene, she went largely unsung during her short life, but her work is increasingly recognised now as some of the most beautiful, detailed songwriting of the last century. In this episode of In Focus, put together by breakfast show host Flo Dill, flawless studio recordings from her albums sit alongside live recordings and posthumous releases.

Altered Soul Experiment w/ Amila

Amila, the founder of Altered Soul Experiment brings monthly transmissions of soul, boogie, disco and his Search For Peace series, covering soothing and cerebral ambient jazz and fourth world selections.

Electro Techno Acid

Silent Servant is the primary pseudonym of California electronic artist Juan Mendez, who produces techno with a heavy post-punk/industrial influence. He first began releasing material as Silent Servant during the mid-2000s, when he was a key member of the influential techno collective Sandwell District. Following numerous well-received underground singles, he made a major impact on the techno world with Negative Fascination, his acclaimed 2012 full-length debut. Following Mendez's co-founding of the Jealous God label in 2013, as well as several singles and collaborations with the likes of Marcel Dettmann and Phase Fatale, Silent Servant released his second album, the more overtly EBM-influenced Shadows of Death and Desire, in 2018. 2023 sees Mendez continuing to Play the US and Europe, New releases On L.I.E.S., Tresor and maintaining his sixth year of the Optimistic Decay radio show on NTS.
