Refuge Worldwide heads to Uzbekistan for Sublimation

We will be streaming live from Uzbekistan! From 27 until 29 September, Sublimation Festival will be welcoming a range of DJs, live performers, speakers and workshop hosts in Tashkent. Founded by Madina and Sabina, Sublimation's "vision is to help the voices of their homeland to resonate globally, breaking stereotypes and highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Uzbekistan."

We are hosting, and live streaming a stage, on September 29th with sets from Almaty-based Refuge resident milktea, locals Densk and Kebato, as well as Refuge's founders Richard Akingbehin & No Plastic. We will also be taking part in a talk and broadcasting workshop - more info on those soon.

In parallel, we are beginning a radio residency with the Sublimation crew, starting on Monday, July 29. Elsewhere on the festival lineup is Kauno Fonas curator Less Feeling, Bjarki, Nazira, Josef Tumari, Basic Chanel, The National Orchestra of Uzbekistan and many more.
