Astral Industries 9128.live Takeover April 4th/5th/6th

*Now updated with Mixes that were posted online after the event*

Our good friends at Astral Industries were set to throw a weekend of music at Cafe OTO in London recently, but had to cancel due to the Coronavirus situation. Instead, we’ve teamed up to present a similar weekend over on our radio station, 9128.live.

During the event, we’ll be asking for a small donation of anything you can spare, to be split between Astral Industries (to help recoup the thousands lost on the cancellation), the artists involved and the South London Refugee Association, who provide expert advice, specialist services and effective support (made even harder given the current situation) to refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants in South London.

See 9128.live for the full schedule and to tune in.

Mixes posted after the event:

Now available: Olga Wojciechowska / Unseen Traces EP

Olga Wojciechowska presents a new piano-focused EP ready for this, the 88th day of 2020, and perhaps more appropriately, as music for our times.

Including two tracks that were previously written for dance pieces and one new composition, these softer acoustic productions don't often find their way on to Olga's full-length albums, so instead are presented here for Piano Day 2020 and as a musical remedy for the listener.

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and featuring artwork by Marco Vannini, who provided the lovely art for Olga’s 2019 LP, Infinite Distances.

Available now on Bandcamp as a digital download.

““I hope this music will soothe your nerves and bring you some kind of enlightenment that we are drowning in it all together, here and now, as one organism.Let’s start working on rebuilding what we haven’t lost.Silence will not protect you.Speak up,be creative,be kind,..your flock will not let you fall” ”

— Olga Wojciechowska

Now available: Merrin Karras / Northwest Passage

After debuting a live version of the album Saturday night during our 9128.live weekend programming, I hope many of you know the brilliance you’re in for by now... We’re extremely excited to present Northwest Passage as Brendan’s second album under his Merrin Karras alias.

See the release page for more details, and links to listen and buy. Also, don’t miss the amazing video by Jan Goldfuß for the closing track Dominions, below.

Lastly, a big thank you to Rafael Anton Irisarri on mastering, Lupo Lubich for never giving up with that press, our plant for multiple rounds of test presses and Jack Hardwicke for that amazing artwork!

The majority of vinyl will be available at Juno.co.uk, with a few copies remaining direct on Bandcamp.
