    What Community Looks Like – RFFF25 Review

    It’s always the way when you go to a festival, isn’t it? – That it takes a good while to acclimatise back in to normality again. Well now that the dust has settled and we’re back to at least some sense of normality let’s look back on the amazing month of July, the whole of which was set aside for Radio Free Fedi Fest 2025.

    We must begin by showing our gratitude to @radiofreefedi for coming back from the sunset to galvanise the community once more, and again being a beacon for highlighting the depth of talent in the Fedi music scene. Huge appreciation to the Hamster for powering that wheel all month long.

    The Festival kicked off way back on the first of July with a typically outstanding performance from @shannoncurtis and @hilljam in which they performed their 80’s Kids live show especially for us. Fresh off touring the show they recreated the set from their basement, including the full light show and treating us to insights in to their workings with a Q+A after the set. The pair are without doubt masters of their crafts, and they combine those crafts perfectly to give us maximum joy. The 80s Kids tour is going on the road again soon. Check out the 80skids.live tour dates page to see if they’re coming to a town near you!

    Speaking of Q+A, the next day was our turn to get on the stage. @sknob and I (@ethicalrevolution) answered some of your questions in between presenting my 13th NHAM mixtape, which was put together as a showcase of RFFF25 – 12 songs from 12 of the artists that were to perform over the month. I was so grateful to sknob for his expertise in putting together the technical and aesthetic aspects of the show, and of course for the moral support. If you missed it we did manage to record the show which you can catch up on here.

    On the third day of the event Damon Thomas (@ruralgloom) performed with spoken word. I was still backstage chatting to all the groupies that had assembled from our show so I missed it but Deb was there and she said, “Damon Thomas read excerpts from his Southern Gothic written works, in his gentle understated style, a thoroughly relaxing vignette of small-town life and growing up in the US South. We were left with images from a delightful time capsule of little people looming large in little places.”

    Next to perform was @fluffy and it was a performance the likes of which I’d never seen before: A fully blown VR performance in which the Fluffy that we saw was an animated critter on an animated stage in an animated venue with an animated guitar! The set is available on demand and you can follow Fluffy to be notified of future live performances, as we were informed that this critter from Seattle performs relatively regularly.

    Then came @lislegaard who was an absolute delight. Kristoffer totally took us down in to full relaxation zone before belting us out with the booms and glitches in a really epic performance which combined amazing sounds and visuals. You can catch the show again on Kristoffer’s Hyper8 page. And he’s another to keep an eye on for future streams.

    Next up was my NHAM co-conspirator @sknob. The master songwriter’s gig from the Rugged Scrublands somewhere in the South of France is also available on demand. In it he opened up by playing through his current EP, “Cities” before going through a rendition of some of his bonkwave tracks and playing covers of other Fedi musicians including @futzle, @keefmarshall and even 8 year old me!

    The baton was then passed to Fedi superstar and regular streamer @meljoann who combined wit, wizardry and wickedness (in the good sense!) despite having to take a call from her therapist (former talk show host, Dr Synergy Myers) during the show. This set wasn’t recorded but Meljoann is prolific when it comes to livestreaming. Just follow @relay to keep in the loop with future performances.

    On July 12th Pulu (@ahihi) put on a show-stopping performance of beautiful sounds and quality beats in an incredible method of performing via multi-computer set up on a balcony by some woods in Helsinki. Rather than try to go in to the detail of the music production, for which I still can’t quite fathom, you can check it out for yourself via the recording of the stream. One particularly incredible moment in the show for me was when the bird song samples were being played and outside my own window behind me real birds were echoing the same calls to give me proper surround sound!

    The next night @jimpurbrick defrosted his Moogs for Remember Glaciers’ first 100% solar powered telling of Duncan Porter’s tale of two visits to the Rhone glacier. An eye opening storytelling of the demise of glaciers for many in the lobby. While this particular show was not recorded, there is a version available from his Gravitons Festival 2024 set.

    As we came towards the middle of the month Grüezi Sexgott (@DePemig) moved their weekly live streamed jam session over to the Radio Free Fedi stage as we dimmed the lights, heightened the haze and mellowed in to a smooth and funky improv set from the accomplished four-piece. They play every Tuesday at 9pm Swiss time.

    Then came @alexglow. What a performer. Alex was so relaxed; at times moving; always fun; with quite beautiful playing; and being very clever – all rolled in to one concert. She played covers and originals, taking requests too, of any song so long as it was about space. It’s something she does on Sunday’s over on spacesongsunday.com

    I tried but largely failed to tune in to @axwax whilst on a coach. Fortunately it was made available to catch up on. With graphics that bounced in time with the music and an impressive rack of machines, synths and a big red button AxWax powered through some classic acid, techno, hip-hop and of course bonkwave. Donning his 80s Kids t-shirt in the sweltering Spanish heat, the ever delightful Axel played an encore of 20 minutes or so after the main set while we awaited the second act of the night…

    Back home by this point I was able to enjoy @Jazzaria from the comfort of my own sofa. We watched an animated keyboard playing the notes that were improvised from prompts given in the lobby which included 80s sitcoms, nightly news, small mammals in fancy hats, tramping cats and 80s detectives. It was quite something seeing vague concepts being brought to life by the sounds of a keyboard.

    Then on July 23rd we witnessed @conniptions being brilliant with a large 4-stringed instrument, brilliant with a small 8-stringed instrument, brilliant with a regular 6-stringed instrument and even being brilliant on the magic trumpets. All on his actual birthday – inviting all of us festival goers to his party of left-field anti-folk – as we bopped along and celebrated with him. More from the creations of Fit and the Conniptions can be found here.

    Next came ‘A Christmas in July Wasted’ with Deb Pickett (@futzle). The set up was as smooth as the performance as Deb beamed across the globe from Victoria, Australia. With lyrics and chord progressions often too clever for me Deb went down like a plump chap in a red suit down a chimney – with a bang and full of treats and gifts!

    With the month drawing out we turned our gaze over to Toronto in Canada where @bgm performed from a basement with a low ceiling. Sadly he was too good that the hour whizzed by in an absolute flash. A highly accomplished musician and video maker, bgm did not disappoint.

    What was disappointing, however, was that this was to be my last show. I had to leave the festival early for other commitments so I hand you over to sknob to run through the final three events…

    Thanks Sam. Well, I’m not used to this exercise, but I’ll try to do the artists justice.

    After a few words of introduction, Calin Dica aka @akash literally blew our socks off as soon as we heard the first notes of his spectacular guitar playing. Expertly jumping from his guitar to his electronic gizmos with dizzying precision and grace, and even surprising the audience with some epic guitar solos, Calin Dica/akash treated us to a barrage of pure energy in song form. I think it’s safe to say we were all flabbergasted when he told us this was the first time he’d ever performed his music in a solo set. Catch up on demand.

    What can I say about nightmother aka @alisynthesis. I discovered her music only recently thanks to Sam, and to say that I’m a fan would be the understatement of the year. In fact I probably shouldn’t be allowed to review her set at all, but here we are, and here we were, teleported into her beautiful studio filled with too many knobs and dials to count (and a couple of totally oblivious dogs on a comfy looking couch). If you think you know synthesizers and electronic music, think again. The sounds that Alison conjures out of her machines is glorious, as is her singing. In fact, the chat which is usually full of wisecracking banter was stunned into silence on several occasions. I do have one complaint though. The set was way too short. Alison, we want more! Catch up on demand.

    Synth music can also be gloriously harsh and furious. Just ask @controlfreak. Sorry, I don’t speak genres, but this absolutely ferocious set (showcasing the darker side of oontz as he eloquently puts it) was exceptional not only for its stunning and sometimes disturbing visuals, but also for its uncompromising original pieces old and new, its spectacular remixes of @shannoncurtis, and for its real drums played on an actual, real, physical drum kit! And when you thought you couldn’t be any more delightfully surprised, controlfreak got up and actually sang for us, well, beautifully (if he’ll pardon the expression), bringing RFFF25 to a perfect conclusion. Back to you Sam.

    We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again, and again. We’re forever grateful for Radio Free Fedi and this month was a perfect exemplifier as to why. It’s about the @music and the artists but it’s not just about the music and the artists, it’s about the community. And this, THIS, showed just what community looks like.

    Nonesuch Homecoming And Merrymaking – NHAM Mixtape 13

    Radio Free Fedi returns to action for a one off festival this month: RFFF. It runs throughout July and we broadcast a special live NHAM mixtape show at the beginning of the event, showcasing acts performing live at the festival. Therefore all of the tracks in this mixtape have been chosen from those performers.

    As always there is also a radio show version of this mixtape with me chatting between the tracks. That can be found on Audio Interface (@audiointerface) from the first Monday of the month as well as featuring in NHAM Radio‘s Mixtape Monday slot.

    ⬇️ Click below to begin playing and keep the page open to hear the mix in full.

    [If viewing from the Fediverse you need to click here to listen to the mixtape on NHAM]

    1. Take It if You Want It by Shannon Curtis
    All Rights Reserved
    @shannoncurtis
    This has got to be up there as one of my favourite Shannon Curtis songs. Perfectly capturing that 80s vibe and adorning it with lyrics attuned to the politics and crises of the present day.

    2. Double You Slash Hackers (AxWax 2023 Remix) by Delegates of Culture
    All Rights Reserved
    @axwax
    In the last millennium AxWax made hip hop. Now he makes stuff with synths. This 2023 remix of one of his old hip hop tracks is a combination of both. Delegates of Culture were a collective of 10 artists from five countries, including AxWax on beats and Skuff and Ill Seer with the rhymes.

    3. 1.1.0 by control

    @controlfreak
    With director and filmmaker Cameo Wood on vocals this is control, aka controlfreak aka our glorious Hamster – the man behind RFF and RFFF. The man we have so much to thank for in helping build the amazing community of independent bands and artists we have in The Fediverse. Much that has come since RFF in terms of promotion of independent musicians in the Fediverse – the NHAMs, the TIBRs, the Audio Interfaces – we’re all standing on the broad shoulders of the one little hamster called control.

    4. yaoi gagarin by pulu
    All Rights Reserved
    @ahihi
    Miranda from Helsinki aka Pulu makes some incredible sounds. The last couple of releases for bonkwave compilation albums testify for that. Written in Sonic Pi (a live coding environment based on Ruby) the short but sweet yaoi gagarin comes from the 2024 album, ‘nested’, having been written for Alternative Party 2024’s Obscure Music competition, which it won first prize!

    5. Bercée d’illusions by sknob
    CC BY-NC-SA
    @sknob
    I remember first listening to this when it came out last year and being utterly blown away. It was one of those moments – headphones on, active listening – I was overcome and transported in my head to a huge theatre surrounded by an orchestra playing the track. It’s part of the Cities EP containing four very different tracks all well tied together by the theme of living in (or not living in) cities. The EP is an absolute triumph. I’ve gladly purchased my copy and I’d encourage you to as well: It’s available on @mirlo for any amount – pay what you feel.

    6. Growing pains by sgrow
    All Rights Reserved
    @lislegaard
    sgrow is one of Norweigan soundscape artist Kristoffer Lislegaard’s projects, collaborating with his wife Vilde Ilkama Nupen. They made four releases between 2013 and 2019 of which Growing pains was on the ultimate one, Circumstance II. Since then Kristoffer has done some fantastic stuff both in collaboration as Øy and his solo work. Most recently he released the live set of his performance when he open for Autechre in Oslo.
    Hot off the press: A fifth sgrow album is due to be released early in 2026!

    7. Skinicism by Doctor Body
    All Rights Reserved
    @alisynthesis
    Atomospheric sounds and a mesmerising vocal performance from Doctor Body – one of at least four pseudonyms used by Alison Wilder. Doctor Body is actually a collaboration between Alison and Greg Wilder, her ex husband with whom she does a fantastic podcast called Too Much Music.

    8. Adding Up To Nothing by Sockpuppet
    CC BY-SA 3.0
    @fluffy
    With both haunting and jaunty qualities, this is a lovely lo-fi tune from Sockpuppet aka fluffy. It’s the final track from the 2015 album Refactor.

    9. Sorry You Died by bgm
    All Rights Reserved
    @bgm
    A little earlier this year bgm put out the video for this track, shot some 10-15 years ago, and it moved me to tears. Sorry You Died was about his family cat. He thought it would be a good idea to record the acoustic guitar in a boathouse, sitting on a gas can, swatting at mosquitoes, for “atmosphere”. The recording subsequently came out on the album “They Don’t Run Your Life.”

    10. Plume by Calin Dica
    All Rights Reserved
    @akash
    Calin Dica said the baroque cello melody came by itself over a rather classical harmonic progression and that the lyrics were inspired by a good friend who could have become a lover in another arc! I love the feel in this song. The evocation in the vocal is very strong and makes me want it more. I have no idea what is actually being said as my French is sadly non-existent, so it’s all vibe driven.

    11. Secrets by Meljoann
    All Rights Reserved
    @meljoann
    Earlier this year we serialised the album Status from which this track comes. Pure sugary retro pop with Motown bassline as Meljoann herself says. A hit from an album of hits. Check out the fantastic video and read more about it.

    12. Never Meet Your Heroes by Futzle
    All Rights Reserved
    @futzle
    The typical brilliant blend of intelligent wit and musical nouse from Futzle also known as Deborah Pickett. Never Meet Your Heroes is from the EP “Futzle: the Musical” and it brings the perfect mood to leave as an outro to this month’s celebration of all things Fedi music.

    -The set times are on that page too. 📆

    You know how you can watch an act at Glastonbury you’ve never seen before and instantly fall in love? I guarantee the same will happen here. 🫶

    It all starts tomorrow with a live set from the fabulous @shannoncurtis. Hopefully see you there! 🤩

  33. It's the final days of the month long #RFF #comfy channel pop up as we approach the also month long #RFFF25 Radio Free Fedi Fest artists streaming series.

    If you could use a reprise of our much loved comfy channel or want to check out a wee taste of the vibes RFF was about, do take the final opportunity to get amongst it.

    Keep uplifting and supporting each other and indie artists. And stay comfy.

    🐹 ❤️

  37. Ahoy friends. The world needs more #comfy. If the weekend means a chance to relax or just more work/stress we're back to help you thru.

    As a gift to old friends, for others to get a tiny taste of what #RFF was all about, and because times require comfy measures, we've popped up the Comfy Channel as it was for the month of June.
