frantx | barbiecue @ utility fog on fbi radio

Aired on 29.03.26, 12:00pm

Quite a journey today, through genres, countries & continents, emotions and BPMs. This is how we do it in the house of Utility Fog.

Tonight at the top of the show I featured tracks from two big compilations of incredible Lebanese experimental music released by Tunefork Studios on Bandcamp to raise money for the millions of people displaced by Israel's invasion & now occupation of southern Lebanon. Land 01 came out in 2024, and now Land 02 and Land 03 have come out simultaneously. They're jam-packed with amazing music. There's a discount for getting all three, and it will go directly to supporting people in immediate need.

FRANTX – BARBIECUE [Carton Records/Bandcamp]
Andrea Giordano, Kalle Moberg, Jo David Meyer Lysne – D’antorn a lor [Black Truffle Records/Bandcamp]
Two releases here show the breadth of the work of Oslo-based Italian musician & singer Andrea Giordano, mentioned above as an early collaborator with Nicolas Remondino in their electro-acoustic duo ŌTONN and the contemporary classical/jazz Dròlo Ensemble. And while I say she is Oslo-based, Giordano is also leader of the Paris-based “glit-noise” band FRANTX. As far as I know, in FRANTX she is lead singer, also playing melodica and all sorts of electronics (in other groups she plays winds and various keyboard-based instruments including accordion). I intrepret “glit” as “glitch”, but it could also refer to glitter, and the group has a glittery queer punk attitude, tackling the politics of making music in the current context, expressing themselves through electro-acoustic experimentalism, punk noise (or noisy punk) and a weird instrumental lineup (guitar & drums added to Giordano’s melodica and Fanny Meteier‘s tuba). The album’s out on May 22, titled IDUTYU (“I Didn’t Understand That You Didn’t Understand”).

Utility Fog teeters on the cusp between acoustic and electronic, organic and digital. Constantly changing and rearranging, this aural cloud of nanotech consumes genres and spits them out in new forms.

Peter Hollo curates each episode around a narrative of genre-plasticity, deep-diving into artist histories, side projects and influences. Challenging sounds are contextualised within musical movements, surprising connections are uncovered, unfairly overlooked works are revisited.

Come on a journey through music in all its ugly beauty.

simon henocq | concourse a @ utility fog best of 2025 on fbi radio

As is traditional, I've done a Best of 2025 DJ mix for Utility Fog. It's probably the strangest one I've done yet – there's heaps of dance music, including jungle & drum'n'bass, bass music of all stripes, dub techno, dubstep, grime, breakcore and more; but there's also detours into Norwegian folk choirs, queasy sub-bass ambient, microtonal piano loops and more.

Antoine Ferris – shame’s coming ft. natacha kanga [Carton Records/Bandcamp]
I have the honour of having “discovered” French bassist Antoine Ferris before he was cool – where cool = released by the might Carton Records (that’s really cool!) A friend alerted me to the soundtrack to this beautiful black & white video which, as I described it 3 years ago, captures something of the joy of early Fennesz & Mego glitch-works for me, but it’s entirely made from electric bass – stuttery edits and pitch-shifts, and occasional outbursts of skronky distortion. That track, “Hount Orbe”, has been included on Ferris’ debut solo album [KAAARST], fitting in very well with the even noisier processed sounds, industrial-seeming beats and shocks of occasional beauty here. I’m looking forward to playing you more from this album, but the first single somehow drags the abstract bass destruction into hip-hop territory, made only more sinister by the guest rapping from Natacha Kanga.

tangent mek | drizzle + le bleu de sorèze @ radio bandito (it)

Wednesday 18 March, from 10 pm on radiobandito.it, Sleep Dose #161 (We Melt Clouds/Future Is The Drug).

Ours is a rapidly evolving historical phase. Scenarios shift and the flags of nations flutter ceaselessly in the winds of war. If we look to the past, it might have seemed easy to prophesy new catastrophes. Everything was already written in the immense dust stirred up by the collapse of the Towers. Rubble right at the heart of the beast. Dust so thick as to blind the decades to come. 

Will our eyes regain their sight, or must we Nostradamus-ise our vacuous sensibilities?

From the future comes a light that lies beyond the future. The smoky air of centuries to come. The light of the end of the world.

BPM – Bonnes Pulsations du Monde

Slovénie : le renouveau des musiques folk entre Europe centrale et Balkans

Publié le : 27/02/2026 - 16:10

Cette semaine, BPM vous emmène à Ljubljana, au cœur du MENT Festival, là où les traditions se réinventent et où les scènes indépendantes dialoguent au-delà des frontières. Avec aussi : une énergie hybride venue d’Afrique du Sud, de l'électro solidaire de l’Ukraine, le tsapiky incandescent du Sud-Ouest malgache et, dans « l’Histoire d’un live », une légende brésilienne, Antonio Carlos Jobim, qui fait tomber une pluie tropicale sur Montréal.
