Dark Side Of The Moon Radio Series

After being invited to represent Refuge Worldwide at Tallinn Music Week in 2025, we are happy to invite the crew behind the HALL venue and the Dark Side Of The Moon Festival to host a radio show focusing on Estonian music and culture.

Led by Mica and Alessandro of the HALL team, the monthly show will "shine some light to their beautiful home up in the north", as well as its underground music scene, whilst also aiming to "communicate the richness of what is hidden behind Estonian's reserved way of being." It will invite guests including academic researchers, musical pioneers and the new forces that are pushing the scene. Listen to the first episode here.

Dark Side Of The Moon is a festival started by the small community behind club HALL almost 9 years ago. "The story begins in a moment of collapse," Mica told us. "There was supposed to be a festival called Moonland, planned in a surreal landscape called Rummu karjäär, but just weeks before it was meant to happen, the project was cancelled - while most of the artists were already booked and paid for." They moved the event to HALL and Dark Side Of The Moon was born. "That last-minute shift became the beginning of a pivotal moment for the scene today - something built from circumstance, community and a certain persistence that defines this region." This year, the festival takes place from 14th August to 16th of August 2026.

For reasons including exclusionary media coverage, geographical distance/cost of flights, different ways of promoting art and its relatively small population, the scene in Estonia often does not get the international exposure it deserves. Dark Side Of The Moon's new radio show hopes to take a small step to change that, shedding a light on the scene there during its ongoing moment of transition.
