From Berlin to Tashkent and back again.

By Staff

We are heading back out on the road to connect with some of our favourite venues and festivals this Autumn.

On September 29th, residents milktea and Arnav join Refuge’s co-founders Richard Akingbehin and No Plastic in Tashkent (Uzbekistan), where we host a stage at Sublimation Festival, and also workshop around building independent radio stations.

We’re Wuppertal bound the following weekend, October 5th, for a club night with ELLLL and ophélie, as well as free-to-attend workshop around the topic of room acoustics. Following that are club nights at Jasna1 (Warsaw, October 11th) and Pickle Factory (London, October 25th).

Between 7th and 10th November, we are hosting a pop-up radio station at Le Guess Who? festival, inviting artists from the line up to come by for talks and music. Refuge show hosts Shiru and Jojo will be joining to host some interviews.

There’s more radio action later in November, with an appearance at Linecheck Festival in Milan. Our team will be participating in the community radio summit on November 21st, 22nd and 23rd, together with Stegi, RBL, Noods and more.

Our friends at arkoada Istanbul have invited us to host their space on Thursday, November 28th, before we head to Tbilisi on November 29th for a three hour radio takeover at Mutant and, later on that night, a party at Left Bank.

6th December sees us host a night as part of the 25th anniversary of Le Zoo in Geneva, before we join Edinburgh radio station EHFM for a night at Sneaky Pete’s. The following weekend we head to Radio80k for a dance at ZIRKA in Munich (14th December).

Last but not least, the annual end-of-year party at our home base Oona Bar. Mulled wine, radio shows, good vibes and a few surprises.
