Radio of the Month

©NODE Berlin Oslo

Be it live from Wedding or with the numerous shows of its residents: the program of the online community radio station Cashmere Radio is as diverse as the city's independent scene. This makes it more than just a radio station. It is a hub and a point of contact for its various music scenes.

Since the end of 2019, Nico Daleman has been hosting his monthly show »The Rest Is Music« on Cashmere Radio. The focus is on music from the 20th and 21st centuries, which the musicologist and sound artist always contrasts with the latest developments in the capital's contemporary and electronic music scenes.

Since 2021, Nico has been accompanying the Month of Contemporary Music with special editions of his show. He invites festival participants to give listeners and audiences a glimpse behind the scenes and get them in the mood for the concert programs – this year every Tuesday between 9 and 30 September at 4:30 p.m. on Cashmere Radio.

Tune in on Cashmere Radio or on FM: 88.4 in Berlin and 90.7 in Potsdam.

▶ Tue 9 Sept, 4:30 pm – Bea Targosz (Errant Sound)
▶ Tue 16 Sept, 4:30 pm – Fidan Aghayeva-Edler (pianist, performances at Unerhörte Musik and Improvised and Experimental), Zeynep Ayse Hatipoglu & Ulrike Ruf (Friday Evening Improvisations in Cemetery Chapels)
