Refuge Worldwide co-founder and programmer Richard Akingbehin joined me in celebrating 200 episodes of Passing Notes. Originally founded in 2015 as a fundraising platform, Refuge Worldwide launched in 2021 as an independent community station broadcasting 24/7 from their home in Neukolln. Although somewhat newly ‘On Air’ and providing an internationally loved artist to airway connection, Refuge remains, at its core, a community platform. Refuge prioritises amplifying the voices of marginalised artists, continues its community outreach efforts, connects people to current affairs and provides a space for community to share, grow and learn. There’s no doubt that Refuge Worldwide remains aligned with its foundational ethos: to foster unity in the community.

Beyond the Berlin-based broadcaster, Richard’s contributions to the world of music are multifaceted and far reaching. As a versatile DJ, Richard has made appearances spanning the breadth of the European club and festival scene (think Waking Life, Berghain, Melt and more). Richard also lovingly curates the Kynant record label which showcases the experimental sides of ambient, dub and techno. Notably, Richard kicked off his sublabel ‘Kyant Ex’ with a release from Passing Notes favourite, UK experimental band O Yuki Conjugate’s. When he’s not playing, programming or curating music, Richard connects listeners with artists through storytelling - His journalistic prowess, often demonstrated in the form of longform interviews and articles, often grace the pages and readers of heavyweight publications such as Resident Advisor.

After two months in cryogenic sleep during long distance space travel, the crew has awakened from hibernation to see they have arrived safely on the ocean planet of Alpha Tauri C in the Aldebaran system. Here in Episode 11, we take an excursion into some classic IDM and modern electro funk while skimming over the oceanside cliffs of the Sangorrian Sea. Enjoy the flight!

Richard Akingbehin & Priori - Residency - 01 Jul 2024

After listening to many Freerotation recordings over the years, it feels a bit surreal to share this one. I had such a great time meeting the freero community. Very special to feel the positive vibe and patience to build something new.

Bas Dobbelaer - Freerotation 2024

“This mix showcases the sound I have been digging in the past months. Curating among freshly new and dusty old school records I have been collecting, I am fusing the groove and sexyness of the 90s Progressive House and Trance with a bit of the harshness that often resembles EBM/Industrial. This results in a unique blend with a dark twisted edge - an edge that I fell in love with!”
