Barking Cats Radio: live radio fra Nicosia

Veeent...

Tørrer støvet af nålen…

Barking Cats Radio

Small island, deep crates.

Techno, dub and salsa, filed under one Cypriot roof.

Alekkos Papachristoforou, George Philippou, Pantelis Drousiotis and Stavros Georgiou had the idea in Nicosia in November 2020 and built the station and its studio piece by piece from there. The studio is also a shop, at number 10 Pericleous Street in the old city, and it stays open as a room for other people's ideas — parties, workshops and collaborations with local artists, on the theory that a scene this size grows by being in one place together. The radio is the part that never closes.

Residents hold the evenings and the automation fills the rest. Atesh K presents Regular Music for Irregular People, Danae runs Music Dysmorphia on the craft of mixing, Pablo Rojo digs house and techno on Electronic Pulse, Paul Laza brings Salsa Caliente, and Alysidez rotates between three presenters. Overnight the Zones take over — Nightcrawling, then The Chill Out Cats until five.
