About this station
Two traditions that rhyme more than people expect. On one side, artists releasing without a label: bedroom production, acoustic songwriting, verse in Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and English at once. On the other, the Sufi lineage, qawwali and kalam, the hand-clap and the harmonium drone. Sukh Indie and Sufi sequences them together, because both are built on a poet's line rather than a studio's budget. Concert qawwali at full length lives here rather than on the language stations, and what comes in through our submissions form is work built on a text: general unsigned music belongs to Radio Aussie.
Through the day
All times Australian Eastern.
First SettingPoems set to music for the first time: unreleased kalam and home recordings of a text nobody has cut before.
The KalamSufi poetry in performance, from short devotional pieces to extended qawwali.
Room RecordingsHome-produced music: one microphone, one take, minimal overdubs.
CrossingsWhere the two sides meet: fusion sets and independent artists reworking devotional forms.
The Long QawwaliOne extended performance played whole, no fade and no edit. The network's only home for concert qawwali at full length.
Night DraftQuiet independent releases and instrumentals through the overnight.
Programmes
Poems set to music for the first time: unreleased kalam, home recordings of a text nobody has cut before, and independent artists working from a page rather than a brief. General unsigned submissions go to Radio Aussie.
The station's argument in one hour: devotional forms handled by independent producers, and independent songs that borrow the qawwali structure.
