Ou•tré (uˈtreɪ) adj. Scrambling radio art/art of radio, social imaginary significations, collective fictional spaces, post-economic music, queer diasporas ... A relational outburst of Kost3n Kop3r.
First broadcast live from Independent Label Market @ The Wiels, Brussels, 8th April 2018. Second airing : 23rd April 2023.
To paraphrase the testimony of a record collector named Ivanov from the book '100 Tape Albums of Soviet Rock' (Alexander Kushnir, 1997): “The Communists claimed the word ‘disco’ originated in ancient Rome to describe metallic discs used for the destruction of enemy fortifications, and their enemies in the West were hurling discs of “dirty” music to destroy the morality of Russian youth. In fact, a favourite police pastime was making raids at exchanges where collectors shared vinyl and tape recordings of domestic and Western music. They usually took place in the suburbs, close to railway platforms, in woods, or in open fields. The venue was constantly changing, but that didn’t save anyone. Militia often turned up in their yellow and blue jeeps, and the music fans threw their records on the ground, trying to flee. I still have the sleeve of an imported disc with the imprint of a Militiaman’s boot.”
This special edition of L’étranger will be aiming for the brain with hurls from the Soviet “dirty” side, unsullied by market influences.
With track selection and notes by: Elena Pankova.
