BlackKaji Radio was devised during the national lockdown as an alternative to BlackKaji - our regular series of live gigs and presentations. 

Produced by The Observatory and Ujikaji, this radio programme features new and unreleased work from local and international musicians, conversations as well as interpretive readings of text paired with music and sounds. 

Consisting of four episodes that will be released fortnightly, each episode comprises of four segments titled The Black Box: Unreleased Works, Unpacking the Pecking: Interviews and Conversations, House Works: Music from Things at Home and Making Audible.

The Observatory - a name that seemingly implies passive objectivity, but which really describes a band whose musical output is an impassioned response to the society it is enmeshed in, a society divided, a society in tumult -- where new forms of oppression must be actively met with new strategies for resistance. The current constellation of The Observatory are vibrations of shifting rhythms, synth bass space, oscillators and abused guitars. Repetition is at the heart of their riff. Hammering out a certain truth. Noise, rock, and melancholy.

Current Lineup:
Cheryl Ong - drums
Yuen Chee Wai – guitars, electronics
Dharma - guitars
