You're listening to next-level video only on CJSW 90.9 FM in Calgary or online around the world at CJSW.com They grew in size, in the 10th and 11th centuries, and it turned into Mutton Bayley.

Standing tall, against cloud cover from all sides, well it was very small. And trucks bend down the shore, see the world rise. On ancient treacherous areas, waves and visited crates on the surface of the sea. As the night drags on the river's silver, there's not enough water to drop its water. There's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there's no turning back, there

The only one who has dressed up warm is not turning back. A forecast of your life's sound is not turning back. The hollow ice stands in total, but not turning back. Against the colour of the glass is not turning back. The air is missing, it's not turning back. A truck's van beyond the shore is not turning back. There's no turning back. There's no turning back. On ancient treasure, there's no turning back. There are several stations crystal brightest. There's no turning back. There's no turning back. There's no turning back. There's no turning back.

There's no turning back. There's no turning back. There's no turning back. And I watch our children's China one more time. My Wife is not turning back. She was awake. I don't know about the sunshine in my eyes There's no time I'll judge the passion I'm letting by I don't know about the truth There's no time I'll be knowing of the choice I've had

There's no time I'll never There's no time I'll be knowing There's no time I'll be knowing of the truth You're never but you You are tuned in to CJSW90.9 on Tree 7 Land, No Smoke Kinstus, otherwise known as Calgary Alberta. My name is Meal on Ueno and you are tuned in to Mon Bailey where I play everything experimental, buyin' for everyone We got pretty much more chill up today First half is good, second half is quite noisy Gotta have that contrast We're gonna start off with kind of a looser, more ambient inspired

inspired by the first wave of ours announced with Sled Island which was absolutely awesome to see I think having clippin' during the guest selection was a phenomenal choice The Billy Woods is coming over and I'll definitely have to check hope that there's still tickets available at that time but he is one of my favorite rappers of all time and I think that was an awesome choice plus the wide plethora of experimental RSC brought over that you'll hear on this episode today some very legendary experimental ambient artists on this and that's what this first half is gonna be inspired by so go check it out, go check out Sled Island one of the greatest music festivals out there what you just heard there was a new artist a new local artist that was the track, the Rapids Run and that was by the artist Nick Sothra and that was from the Alm Whispers in the Four Steep

she is an Australian Calgary artist that does mostly dark ambient work I kind of blends in a little bit of down tempo especially on her record after this the widest of which is also good very much more of the Trip Hop style but this record that you just heard here was very much more of the ambient very hypnotic poetic style very similar to remind me of something like music to play in the dark by coil phenomenal record I absolutely love that sort of like hybrid of loopy hypnotic ambient with like like very trippy poetry in the back really really great stuff next we're gonna be listening to just going ahead and going to just into the ambient here this is local artist Greg Block we're gonna be listening to next this is from his most recent single Aquafina Globe Fix

I have to say these were sort of based off of samples that were recorded on the Vancouver Islands in 2023 and now these were produced right here in fall 2025 and only now released and we're gonna be listening to the opening track here it's quite good here on C just W 9.9 make sure to get a little bit of relaxing in before things get too chaotic but it's gonna be a nice first hour which just because it's nice is not mean it's not weird but so you know make sure to keep your guard up if you want to text in text at 403-220-3991 you can check the track list for the show after the show on the website or on the app available for iPhones and Android you

. . . . C, J, S, W, 90.9, this is Mont-Balew tuned into where you play everything and it's a great song. It's a great song. It's a great song. It's a great song. It's a great song.

It's a great song. It's a great song. It's a great song. loops. Virtual Star Nature is made up of two artists, one from Latvia and the R1 from Russia, one is by the name VSX, and the R1 goes by the name Plunder Nature. And as you imagine from that name, this album is very much focused on plunder phonics, which I think have more than one sort of set in the show that I really, really love it when artists take samples and just sort of aptly warp and distort them and create something new within it. I feel like this album sort of encompasses it. Really amazing sort of like drony, very much a slow paste track that like I, this is the sort of stuff I really liked that that people did for with Vape Wave, but like,

you know, sort of my as the whole like, you know, aesthetical trappings of it, which you know, it's always nice to see people still containing the sort of style. And before that, you listen to the track Aquafina by Greg Block from the album Aquafina or the single Aquafina Loebfish. I'm going to be listening to a special track, and we're going to be kicking off the first artist from the Sled Island going to be listening to. This is the legendary loragy we're going to be listening to, which is who's going to be coming to town here for the Sled Island, and I am super, super excited. They are a one of the most underrated, um, what maybe underrates the wrong word, definitely like very, very well sober in their own field, but definitely one of the greatest ambient artists out there, probably best known for his collaboration with Brian Eno on the ambient three day of radiance. His entire career has just been sort of a, this wild blend of his very spiritual ambient playing across many different instruments and styles, and it's just

absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend, would not be playing it, but I highly recommend everyone to listen to, uh, his archival release, SIG to Infinity, which was a quarterback in 1978, absolutely incredible stuff. What we are going to be listening to is a cut off of his compilation record Cosmic Take Experiments 1979 to 1987. We're going to be listening to, uh, reduced track, sort of a bridged one called Unicorn Unicorns in Paradise, which is originally a over an hour long track released, uh, originally made in 1981, but released in 2015. We'll be listening to it here on C just W 90.9, so prepare yourself, sir. It's, uh, it's pretty incredible stuff.

God willing to be to the invisible infinite. Well, for which it is now currently composing us in our experience, may we unfold as the alignment with this vibration, uh, perfect presence of divine being of most harmonious presence. May our appreciation for the infinite creator expand and receive greater depth in our personal unfoldment, and may we be released from the need to complete or perfect any person pleasure thing, and free enough to be involved in enjoying the already eternal completion and perfection with all praises be to this one within this one for this one

this as we are eternally this united channel of the infinite presence of our most beloved spirit soul. I am now in yours and seer, I'm both devotee, Nathirajan, Nathiranda, Adirth, November 1st, 1981.

C J S W 90.9, uh, this is Mon Bailey attuned into host by yours truly Milan, Ueno, and, uh, yeah, we're just ending off this first hour, some really, really great serve, um, very, um, hypnotic, uh, electronic, like adjacent stuff. Uh, what you just listened to there was a new release by the phenomenal German artist, Katarina Barbieri, who I heard about thanks to her fantastic record, ecstatic computation, and, uh, phantasm variation, which includes some really, really excellent remixes of that previous album. Uh, by artist like, uh, J Mita, who does a singellic cover of, uh, the track, Cali Malone's on there, Carlos Malone Coverdale, Avley Phnomel, let's get away from, uh, the actualist. Yep, uh, she does a wide mix of, uh, various kinds of, uh, electroc music, but very much sort of like, very new AG, I put that in heavy

quotation marks because that can mean literally anything, and very much sort of synth-focused, what's called progressive electroc, but it's very much like atmospheric, very sort of like, you know, hypnotic and whatnot, it's really, really wonderful stuff, and that was her newest record with, uh, collaboration of the, uh, Norwegian artist, Bendick Gisk, who plays the saxophone, and that was from the album At Source. That was the opening track of the release, Intuition Nimbus. It was lovely, lovely atmosphere on there, and it's just highly recommend checking out. There's just really, really amazing interplay between the two on this record, very much, very minimal, not as sort of like, as electronic from what I've heard. Maybe I'm wrong though, but, um, yeah, it's really, really phenomenal, like, stuff from what I've heard. And, uh, before that, listen to the track Unicorns and Paradise by the legendary Luragin from the Alm Cosmic Tape experiments, 1979 to 1987, which you can actually find on streaming, and there's a couple of bonus records

that were from the, uh, the original, uh, cassette released in 2013 on All Saints, and which can include some really, really great stuff on here, including a, uh, uh, like, uh, a bunch of, sort of, uh, copy of, like, some, uh, abbreviate stuff from, like, uh, content stuff from some of the three records, like, all-pervading coming from that Sega Infinity, dance number three from the legendary, uh, Brian Enoelm, and there's even a 17-minute, astral jam featuring the RS Blues control. Really nice stuff. And before that, yeah, that was it. But, uh, up next you're going to be listening to some, you're going to be listening to some, uh, like, a little bit more quiet stuff, and then we're going to, again, to a little bit of the way to segway us into the really, really heavy stuff. This is another arse that's going to be appearing at this year's Let Island. This is Robert Aikii Obri-Low out of Brooklyn. This is from his Alm to Orbrio, which originally released as a bonus LP to the, um, more than human, originally released in, uh, 500 copies. That's really, really nice, very

minimal, very, uh, experimental, like, electronic music, or, like, electronic ambient stuff. Uh, we're going to be tuning into it here on C just W 9.9, and I'll see you after the intermission.

What clues would you need before you could see there in our lines? Would you need to touch their skin, or look at their eyes, or hear their voices? Or could you just sense who they are by their presence, without any physical clues?

This is SimCars.com, and you might be listening to more of Bayley on C just W 9.9. It is happening again. It is happening again.

Yeah.

I'll take care of it. I can't do it right now. I can't tell you too much. I can't tell you too much.

I can't tell you too much. I'm stressed. I can't tell you too much. I'm stressed. I can't tell you too much. I can't tell you too much. This I was lost. But I... ever... died.

I can't tell you too much. I can't tell you too much. You were tuned into C-Gest W 90.9 on Tree 7 Land, no smoke hints to us. Otherwise known as Calgary Alberta. My name is Bill on Ueno and you are tuned into Mon Bailey. Where you play every experimental by and for everyone. And we have reached the second half of the show, the Bailey. And in this show's fashion, the second half is usually completely tonally different than the first. And boy, I'm really going far off this concept today. We just listened to a bunch of ambient in the first hour. Now we're just going to be listening to straight noise. What's been happening, new of noise. And it's going to be a lot of fun. Still continuing on with the sled island theme. What you just listened to there was the phenomenal. Lana Del Rabies. And this is from her newest record, Omnipotent Fuck. And that was the track, The Soil Equity.

This is a second installment in a trilogy record. Records starting off with last year's The Tempts, The Endra. And this is a concept of records exploring how arrows affects the subconscious mind as described. And particularly this release describes a sort of depicts a very stream of consciousness. A sort of record about romantic and sexual possession by a demonic figure, as is described on Bandcamp. And you could definitely hear that very much sort of like, you know, sort of very, very textural, very much sort of intense lyrics on this track. And yeah, just in standard Lana Del Rabies fashion, there's just a lot of very heavy sounds. Very heavy tone and whatnot, just absolutely incredible as expected for her. And she is also playing at sled island this year, which I was super excited to see. So make sure to keep your eye on it out for that in June.

Up next, we're going to be listening to a couple of local and local and a little out of town artists. We're going to be listening to the artist's gas giant on a zepto second records. His newest release post haste, and we're going to be listening to the track of vaporizer here on C just W 90.9.

What you just listened to there was the Vancouver Arts Vegan THEGN. That was from there 2019 album loss and that was the track I heard your voice.

Really nice very like club like industrial track that featured the vocals of the singer Disfig who also had a fantastic record with the legendary sludgy, very noisy drone male group The Body. Members are leapfaring Chip King, one of those prolific, it was heavily heavily overrated underrated underrated that's why I meant underrated very much sort of like more in the industrial side rather than the actual like metal side and really highly recommend checking this out and that sort of really the energy still chattel over to this record where it's like very much more the electronic side of industrial rather than the metal side but the very the energy and sort of that same tension is still there and I absolutely love it. Before that you listen to a new release by Morgan, a local experimental noise artist that was there that was from the album Net Noise 1.0

and that was the track Multitred. This is a 15 minute album comprised of sort of like sort of compilation of and rearrangement of sounds created from computer networks and as described this actually uses network packets as sources material as the source material and Morgan's like sort of splices together sort of the the different computer sounds made from those packets to create sort of like this very wild and very sort of you know air deck and very unpredictable release and it's really really wonderful stuff while my favorite noise releases this year so far. Before that you listen to the track vaporizer by gas giant from the album post haze. This really really nice sort of a sound collage aspects there sort of like the very unique sort of sounds and textures going on there really always love the stuff that gas giant and zepto second records put out very very unpredictable of what will happen next up next we're going to be listening to a um

speaking of a sound collage we're going to be listening to a long track by the orce beauty head this is from their record collected city sounds volume 1 and believe it or not this isn't this it's sort of true but it's also sort of not true because it's like as you'll listen to here it's a little bit more than just field recordings but this is the track we're going to be listening to breathing hard into pounding neon glow and every episode has a long song silver guarantee which means that every episode must have at least one song above 10 minutes now we already achieved that with the loraji track earlier but we're gonna go full ahead with this one this is oh this is almost 20 minutes of just absolute chaotic noisy goodness we're gonna be playing it now here on C gsw 90.9 i hope you enjoy it
