Show 1083: Music Is Murder by Martin Djorlev (Kanal103)

Мартин Џорлев – Музиката е отепувачка

This episode captures the closing moments of Kanal 103’s marathon broadcast marking 81 years of Macedonian Radio, on 28.12.2025.
After more than 15 hours on air and a never-ending closing live session, the scheduled program slowly dissolved into an open situation. Recorded around 4am, as the night tipped into morning, the studio shifted into a different mode. Using the station computer, Martin Djorlev began mixing live from multiple internet sources, navigating streams, fragments, and digital noise in real time.

What emerged was an unplanned deep drone / ambient mix, imperfect, glitchy, unbalanced, marked by signal cracks and bleed from an old mixer worn down by years of use. Slow and immersive, the sound hovers somewhere between exhaustion and focus. A live navigation through online audio, shaped by the moment, the hour, and the accumulated energy of the broadcast.

Martin Djorlev is a central figure in the new Macedonian music scene. Active across projects, genres, and formats, he plays almost nightly, releases constantly, and moves between live performance, composition, and experimentation. This set reflects that momentum, created without preparation, without pause, as if there were no tomorrow.
