Café OTO is the most established critical listening room in London and provides a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream with an evening programme of adventurous live music seven nights a week.
This week Cafe Oto celebrates 13 years

We are thrilled to announce that the March episode will be hosted by Lucia H Chung, curator at Happened, London.
Lucia H Chung is Taiwanese experimental artist based in London. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where the sound creation springs from her fascinations in noise generated via feedback on digital and analog equipment, and her role as a ‘mediator-performer’ in the multifaceted relationship between the sonic events incurring within the self-regulated system.
She also works as an independent curator, producer and broadcaster at Happened.
Lucia presents a selection of experimental electronic music from Asian female artists that loosely follows the trajectory of her listening habit and her own creative development as an artist as well as an independent curator. The selected music features artists who are a huge influence in Lucia’s own work, some who she has worked with at Happened, and others whose music she simply enjoys.

After many weeks and thoughts, sadly we have come to the conclusion that our 2020 October festival cannot take place as planned. Due to all the difficulties of this weird and uncertain time, we feel like it’s impossible to guarantee the festival at a safe and required level. It wasn’t an easy decision to take but given the current situation, it feels a wise and sensible choice.
However we are already working on other projects in order to protect our community and the DIY experimental scene.
More info and news to come soon!

Writer and artist Agata Kik wrote an amazing article about Deep Listening practice at Dronica #10 on CLOT Magazine.
“…During the festival, the church’s architecture accompanied each of the artists, who animated it through their performances. Causing even particles of stone to shiver, simultaneously solidifying the gaseous inner atmosphere, Dronica #10 was predominantly a time of transcendence. Ideas of the physical and the ephemeral, the ethereal and the material folded into each other and left one blind to their difference. The festival was, thus, a chance to learn that to know more does not only mean to see wider but to listen deeper, to use also skin to perceive…”

We are very proud to announce this release we co-produced with pseudomagica in result of a long-time collaboration. This is the third release of the Rome-based multidisciplinary publishing house.
‘N19 9ES – three years of Dronica’ is a self-produced photo-booklet and audio cd compilation, a tribute to the polymorphic, alternative art scene that has revolved around the festival for the past three years. The idea is to define this experience through Matteo Favero’s shots, accompanied by a selection of the music that lived through the walls of The Old Church, an Elizabethan building located in Stoke Newington, which hosted mostly of the past editions. N16 9ES is also and more importantly a passionate compendium that tells about our/your years of Dronica, a token of love that we dedicate to all of the artists who supported our efforts, to the crew that helped us with immense enthusiasm sacrificing their time and energy, and last but not least, to the public that nurtures and stimulates our researches.
We would like to thank all the artists and people involved and supported the festival during these three past years 
A special thanks to Ilia Rogatchevski.
‘N19 9ES – three years of Dronica’ will be available at Dronica #10 // 3-DAY Festival // 3 Years Anniversary this week as well as online:
