Hello, The Refractory Period will be beaming some peculiar sounds live from éist radio later on. Broadcast will be initiated at 6pm with systems active until 8pm.
We've been collecting otherworldly beats, mysterious cosmic tracks, and weird bits from the past/future. The intended effect is a trip through space and/or time.
Lend us your ears x
The long overdue recording of my last radio show is finally up on Soundcoud. In retrospect, it's a fairly sombre listen, at least for the first half. There are ambient guitars, folk songs (some sad, some spooky), a brief foray into stoner/doom metal, and a good dose of southern US rap.
I'm back on éist next week, Tue 21st April. Taking a spin through alien audio environments and interplanetary beats, inspired by a recent tipple into HP Lovecraft's book The Shadow Out of Time.

I'm back and live on @eistradio today from 6-8pm for the 3rd episode of The Refractory Period.
Slow and heavy show today. Drifting country, Celtic psych and mysticism, stoner fuzz, big beats from Memphis and adjacent parishes.
Talk to ye later on x
The 2nd episode of The Refractory Period is up on Soundcloud, link in my bio.
The buzz is a lot of sci-fi inspired dub, folk-y psychedelia, spacey electronics. I've been obsessed with Scientist and Jahtari's discography for a while, and those were the starting point for this mix. Some other highlights were a fun trip from Anadol, a rocksteady banger from Prince Buster, and the cutest, dubbiest tune from Hiroshi Fujiwara. I managed to nab the new release from Lisbon label Ufonic just in time for the show, so there's a nice track from that in there. And also one I made myself years ago, which probably nobody has ever heard.
My next show will be on 24th March. Not sure of the vibe yet, but have been been listening to a lot of Memphis rap, country and Janet Jackson lately. Maybe there's a show in that.

I hope to see you there, Nevan
