Dronica #48 - Dronica meets Fielding Hope

Nicola Serra, founder of East London's experimental music festival Dronica, presents new and archival material.

Fielding Hope is a London- and Glasgow-based curator and DJ. He works as the Senior Producer of Cafe OTO, London, and co-curator of Counterflows Festival, Glasgow. The best part of his life has been spent exhaustively traveling the outer-reaches of music, sucking all sorts of strange and beautiful aural debris into his tilted orbit.

His DJ sets reflect the results of this ongoing journey, crossing strange terrain between pastoral vignettes to 190bpm pulvisors (and more or less everything in between) in equally coherent and contradictory ways. Fielding presents a selection of work from Takuroku, Cafe OTO's in house label. 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.
