Terminal Beach: Recent Episodes

firefly frequencies

Terminal Beach is an experimental radio show that we began on Radio Blackout (Turin) in 2005, following which it went nomad.
It presents and traverses a broad range of cutting-edge music of all genres both new and old, as well as experimenting with the radio format through deterritorialized mixes and themed programmes.
Broadcasting intermittently from numerous stations including Resonance fm - London, ARTE Radio - Paris, Radio Libertaire / Epsilonia - Paris, Radio Blackout - Turin, Radio Rietveld - Amsterdam, Radio Comunitaria - Palermo, Radio Bal - Paris, P-node - Mulhouse...
At the end of 2020 Terminal Beach joined Firefly Frequences.
Silvia Maglioni & Graeme Thomson
