As ever there’s a radio show version of this mixtape with some chat about the tracks. That can be found on Audio Interface (@nprofile…7xja) from the first Monday of the month as well as featuring in NHAM Radio‘s Mixtape Mondays and Thursdays slots.⬇️ Click below to begin playing, and keep the page open to hear the mix in full.[If viewing from the Fediverse you need to click here to listen to the mixtape on NHAM]
1. Plaits Space II by AmbientSpace
All Rights Reserved
Ambience in the wiggly, wobbly, upbeat sense for take off. Ambient Space is Chris Mills, an electronic music producer from New Zealand, a french horn lover and one of the finest proponents of bonkwave.

2. Izanami by DebonaireToast
All Rights Reserved
Up and down like a Weston donkey, this groove hits the spot, pausing only for dial up nostalgia. Traditionally a fine artist, a photographer, a graphic designer and video editor, Alabama-based Nadia Purge aka Mandi Cook has in more recent years added music production to her wide skill set, making tunes as “DebonaireToast” inspired by dark, electronic, ambient and electro-industrial dance music.

3. Jumpsuit by Humanoid No More
All Rights Reserved
Rave piano. Need I say more? Nope. Never. But also: cut vocal shouts, airy sweeps, darkened tones, bass beats. Mega blend! Creating beats loosely between hip-hop and house, Humanoid No More are a duo based in British Columbia. “Jumpsuit” comes from their recently released Tropical Moon EP.

5. One Thread by Shannon Curtis vs control

One Fedi star remixes another. Damned if I won’t survive. A superb example of the remix work available from control.org, who is always open to donate-what-you-can sound design commissions. For anyone wanting a remix you can find all of the info at control.org where there is also news of a covers album, an original album, and a remix EP all dropping at the back-end of the year. Now that’s control.

6. Say What You Wanna Say by C.Circo
All Rights Reserved
Take my arm and bounce with me. Now kick. More delicious dance from Ottawan electronic music producer C Circo. The track is from his brilliant “Metamorph” album released this year after a period of downtime, having found renewed energy to do so by the Fedi Scene and in particular the bonkwave community.

7. Mr. Decimal by Blix Byrd
All Rights Reserved
This just grabs and pulls with textures finely layered and vocals strongly piercing. And the break down, oh the break down. Blix Bird represents the most recent adventurous, experimental, intelligent sounds from Alison Wilder, and Mr. Decimal comes from her LP “IX” – an album that demands your attention and asks you to climb with the composer over a barbed-wire fence and in to a world probably not quite like your own, full of stinging and prickly things, where there is a freedom but perhaps little love.
@nprofile…0nz2
8. Rejection by Lorenzo Miniero
All Rights Reserved
Turns out there’s a beauty to be found in the vast open space carved out by rejection. The movie sample at the end is actually an introduction to the next song (Resentment) on the album. -Each song on “R U There?” has the same, forming a narrative through the mind and its emotions as you listen through the progressive rock journey from start to finish. Lorenzo himself is an open source software developer and accomplished musician from Napoli.
@nprofile…7wtj
9. Continuity by Chris Harris
All Rights Reserved
A gorgeously crafted track. Continuity is a homage to Vangelis (electric piano at start), David Gilmour (lap steel in middle) and Mike Oldfield (Squier Strat at close), with even a very quick nod to John Williams hidden in there. It was written at a time of physical pain from kidney stones, which Chris says may have contributed to it sounding more melancholy than he’d expected. That and the cellos (from Spitfire Audio’s “BBC SO” and “Abbey Road ONE” orchestral plugins)! Chris, from my old stomping ground in Bristol, is an extremely prolific musician who utilises all manner of instruments and produces a wide scope of musical output.

10. Seventeen Carrots by sideSister
All Rights Reserved
Look who’s back! Discerning and fun as ever. Combining some of the lesser-spotted instruments and oozing originality. Seventeen Carrots is the opening track to their brand new album, “Space For You”, which is out this month! The third Kiwi act in this mixtape, Sidesister are dynamic mother and daughter duo Leigh and Aelyth, who fret that modern life has little room for the undisciplined in “Seventeen Carrots”. “Space For You” is a ten track LP which takes a look at our world and considers ways they can make it into a world they’d prefer to live in.

11. Artifiko by Camilo Bravo
All Rights Reserved
More expert combination of rhythms, sounds and textures, this time out of Quito in Ecuador. A programmer by day and musician by night, Camilo hosts the musicians.today Mastodon instance as a community for musicians of all levels, instruments, regions, languages, and genres. “Artifiko” comes from his 2023 album “Volatil”, for which he captured himself recording and editing every sound put in to all 16 songs of the album. Quite remarkable. Although I did see some daylight in the videos so I reckon the programming may have taken a bit of a backseat in 2023!

12. Juliregn by RYA!
All Rights Reserved
Wow. What a way to finish a mixtape full of beauty and intelligence. No matter when or where you’re listening you’re sure to leave this session feeling the refreshing warmth of rain in Northern Hemisphere July. Thank you RYA! The 8-piece band from Umeå take inspiration from nature, Swedish folk, jazz and electronic pop. Described as a song for people who continue to hope despite having doubts, “Juliregn” is from their latest album, “Mareld över Kvarken”.

[Read in full on NHAM]How Indie Video Killed The Spotify Star
By @nprofile…mh0l
In January 2024, I became aware of the Fediverse music subculture phenomenon called Jamuary. It challenges music makers to create one complete track per day during the entire month of January. It is a bonkers idea. But I gave it a shot, ended up making 18 tracks, and something interesting happened along the way…
I have several different processes that I use to make music. One of them involves using video sources. I previously created a few tracks this way and created a Peertube account to showcase them. I like working with video and audio together, so for Jamuary I decided to make a video for each track as well, because why not make a difficult challenge even harder? Nuts.
Peertube is great, Owncast is great, but it is still difficult to discover things I like, and it was apparent that people were not finding my videos either, despite shameless self-promotion on Mastodon. I decided to create a couple of playlists (FediVisuals and FediVisuals Live) but these are equally hard to find. Maintaining them is hopeless because discovery is hard in the first place! Nevertheless, in the process, I learned that there are many awesome musical artists on fedi who are also making amazing music videos!
My love for music videos was reawakened.
You see, I was around when MTV went on the air and I remember how influential music videos were for me as a teen. I don’t think it is crazy to say that without MTV, new wave wouldn’t have happened and most of the weird stuff I saw on 120 Minutes would never have played anywhere — Wax Trax owes as much to that show as they do to John Hughes 80s films. So I have nostalgia for music videos — because this was a time for great music discovery in my life. Music discovery!
At its peak, Radio Free Fedi did a series of Owncast live performance trains that really showcased the A/V talent on fedi. When RFF shut down, I was happy that The Indie Beat, fueled by Bandwagon, sprang to life and carried the torch. They even have an Owncast server, but like most Owncast instances, it was dark much of the time.
All of the above made me want to light that server up with a 24×7 stream of music videos.
I reached out to @nprofile…lfq2 to ask if she would be interested in hosting a 24×7 music video channel. She was all for it but had no time to make it happen. While she’d researched and landed on Azuracast for TIBR, she didn’t have the spoons to search for the best video streaming solution. So I decided to dig into it myself.
I’d never done anything like this before, but I got a lot of help on fedi: Phil Nelson (@nprofile…33lg) of RetroStrange TV explained how it worked and offered advice, as did Andrew Roach (@nprofile…law7) of New Ellijay TV. I considered OBS Studio but that didn’t seem right for this because I wanted a hands-free, headless streamer running in the cloud, and I knew I couldn’t spend much time babysitting it. And while ffmpeg can stream video to Owncast, it would require major effort to make it robust for 24×7 hands-off streaming.
The answer came from Luka Prin/ce Lucija (@nprofile…dddf) of BeYourOwnPlatform some months prior. They’d suggested LiquidSoap for another project, but I didn’t want to invest the energy at the time to learn this strange technology, an OCAML-based scripting language of the functional programming variety — somewhat outside my comfort zone. I quickly learned that this tool was made to solve 24×7 broadcasting problems and that the community around it was very helpful. If you get your head around functional programming, it can be quite powerful.
Once I’d proven this could work on my home PC, everything quickly started to come together. I knew that Sam (@nprofile…yfkk) and sknob (@nprofile…4nzp) were interested in showcasing NHAM videos. I learned from the Lorenzo’s Music podcast (@nprofile…eptg) that Roberta Fidora (@nprofile…00hm), who makes great music videos, wanted an Animation showcase. I knew that Meljoann (@nprofile…zqvx) was trying to promote artist discovery broadly, made great music videos, and had acquired technical skills from working with the Gravitons collective. I knew Keith (@nprofile…qppm) made great music, had strong tech skills, and supported dozens of artists via the bonkwave community. Similarly, I knew AxWax (@nprofile…775n) was an awesome music maker with strong technical skills. So Roberta pulled us all together in a Matrix room, along with Kirsten, where I was able to showcase the script and get technical help and review. I bought a test VPS and used Ax’s Owncast server for testing while building the script and the structure.
Along the way, I decided to document this on Codeberg so others could replicate it, because I’d found several complete examples of LiquidSoap code for radio stations, but not for TV stations. My secondary goal is to see more Owncast servers lighting up with 24×7 programming.
So, if you are an artist who would like to get your music videos on the air — or an animator who wants their work in rotation — see below!We are building a 24×7 music video and animation channel for The Indie Beat and we need you!
This will be a consent-driven channel promoting indie musical artists from across the Fediverse, as well as animators who want to share their animation art (and who knows what else in the future?).
We will have a large chunk of airtime devoted to random play across styles and genres, as well as a few dedicated program slots for music in the electronic, jazz, ambient, pop, and rock families.
We will also have slots for NHAM, curated by Sam (@nprofile…yfkk), and an Animation Array slot, curated by Roberta Fidora (@nprofile…00hm).
There is no cost or pay to artists. Each video will display artist info including a QR code on-screen back to the artist’s chosen link. Videos will air by artist consent only and can be taken back down by request. Opt-in, opt-out, at will.
If you’d like to get your music and video art on the air at The Indie Beat’s federated Owncast server, keep reading!How to submit videos for airplay on The Indie Beat TV:
We need and accept:
– Original music videos (no covers)
– Animations for the Animation Array program
– Short form eye-candy videos (~10s — these play periodically between music videos)
– Short station ID videos/jingles (~10s — these play periodically between music videos, see below for suggested script)
If you already have videos showcased on NHAM and have given consent to air on TIB TV it is not necessary to upload the videos again.
We do not accept any illegal, copyright-infringing, or explicitly NSFW material.
Please no “AI” or learning model-generated materials. If you use smart tools in your process, that is fine, as long as the final work is predominately human-made. Not really interested in generated materials.
We prefer not to air simple “visualizer” type music videos, unless they are artfully edited or otherwise human-crafted in some way.
We prefer music videos in the 15-second to 15-minute range as general guideline. However, very long videos will not be included in the hour-long programs as they would dominate program airtime — they would instead go into normal random play under the “anything goes” hours of programming.
Exceptions to these loose rules may be made based on perplexing intangibilities like taste and intuition. The curators are human.
Submitted materials must be MP4 videos with 1080p max resolution, but streaming goes out at 720p and 3000 kbps currently.
NOTE: Only submit original rendered video files. Do NOT submit MP4 files re-downloaded from Peertube or other platforms. Generally, these files will not work.
Submitted MP4 videos must include these metadata tags, which will be shown on-screen including a QR code to the artist’s website:
– artist
– title
– album
– website
– cover art
You can use a tool like Picard (or MP3Tag) to add these. If you need help, we can do it. Cover art is not displayed currently but will be in the future.
Submissions should be made using this form, also available on Roberta Fidora’s site, and right here:
More things you might be wondering about
Artists retain all rights to submitted materials: no rights, fee, or commission is claimed except non-exclusive right to air the material on the channel until the artist opts out.
Submissions may or may not get airtime, no guarantees. We may take videos in and out of rotation based on how much material we gather and due to limited storage and airtime.
Artists are not charged or paid. Artists receive exposure via onscreen metadata and QR code link. The entire effort is non-commercial and consent-driven. We may ask for community support to pay for servers, storage, bandwidth, etc., but we are volunteering our time and will never keep donations as “pay”. All donated money goes back into The Indie Beat channels.
Suggestion for station identification wording (but be as creative as you like): “You are watching The Indie Beat Television with videos by independent artists from across the fediverse. Find us online at the indie beat dot fm.”
– We plan to have slots for live performances if you want to do a show! Once we launch, you’ll contact @nprofile…lfq2 to request a time slot.
– We plan to have a few regularly recurring live programs. Watch for schedule updates at https://live.theindiebeat.fm/ and follow @nprofile…cxxw on the Fediverse (turn on notifications).
– We plan to support short promotional videos for new releases.
– We plan to support short promotional videos for other indie arts projects from around the fediverse that we hope to co-promote. More to come.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Retoot of @nprofile…87ea (original toot here):
Hello dark disco, beauty in the darkness sonic comrades and ahoy fedi neighbours. This is my fresh account for my music and art. I am a drummer and independent electronic music and multimedia producer. I make industrial ebm, synthpop, goth, dystopian, horror, powernoise, soundtrack, techno etc sounds.
My catalogue is free in solidarity or donate what you can on my faircamp at https://music.control.org
I am available for donate what you can commissions for remixes, sound design, loops, beats, game assets, installations, soundtrack, you name it. While my wheelhouse is dark, organic, heavy, I am very happy to slide more accessible for kindred projects.
I lost a crap load of connections in splitting my accounts but it was needed for agency and to be more regular and compartmentalised in my posting to focus spoons, specifically for art with a number of exciting projects and releases imminent. I’ll be announcing some planned regular post features soon.
Any help with a boost, follow or mention if you’ve liked any of my recent remixes or live show much appreciated.
In the back-end of this year thanks to some amazing support and friends, I am very much out of hiatus, very much fighting to stay vertical, and very much releasing:
-a covers album of bangers to clangers from the 80s to now, with a slight touch of my darkness, focusing on songs that I like to shout at the top of lungs when I have my safety headphones on. Caveat, I am not a singer.
-a new original control.org album of EBM thumpers
-an EP of remixes for the 25th anniversary of my C2 album “second wave”
Plans after that, universe willing and with your help, include more dirty sound and drum loop collection volumes, an EP of regenerated, revisited, refreshed tracks of mine from ~30 years ago onward, the sixth full-length from my powernoise and dark soundscape project C2, and at least another volume of covers, music videos, plus more live stream concerts!
And if a good ole independent mail list is up your lane https://mail-list.control.org/subscription/form for occasional updates on releases and events.
Shit is grim. Help me to go down dancing. Let’s punch upward and stomp together!
Cheers if you made it this far. Keep fighting and stay vertical.

[Read in full on NHAM]NHAM Update Opus 9 (Teaser Edition)
By @nprofile…4nzp
You could easily be fooled into thinking that August was slow and uneventful on the indie-fedi music front, especially after such a RFFF25-rocket-fueled July.
Nothing could be further from the truth.Summer Bonk Wave
The bonkwavers were busy preparing the The Four Seasons of Bonk Wave, A Midsummer Bonk’s Dream, and the release dates have finally been announced! So mark your calendars and come join the launch parties on party.bonkwave.org:
– Disc 1: Thursday, September 11 at 19:00 UTC/20:00 BST/21:00 CEST
– Disc 2: Thursday, September 18 at 19:00 UTC/20:00 BST/21:00 CEST
I could tease some surprises about both releases, including a NHAM-adjacent one, but…I won’t.NHAM 1.0
If you listened to the NHAM RFFF25 livestream, you know that an updated version of NHAM is in the works. It will be version 1.0, because we’ve unilaterally decided that the current version is a beta version. Be that as it may, we’ve been hard at work trying to get the update out the virtual door, but you know how these things go.
While NHAM 1.0 will stay true to the original vision, it will include some new features and make the site more inviting to the greater music-loving public.
I could be more specific, but…I won’t.Ambitious Project That I Can’t Wait To Tell You About
But I don’t know if I can, so for now…I won’t.Releases, Releases, and More Releases

It’s been a busy month, so busy I’ve not had time for artist discovery or to reach out to artists for consent.

[Read in full on NHAM]What Community Looks Like – RFFF25 Review
It’s always the way when you go to a festival, isn’t it? – That it takes a good while to acclimatise back in to normality again. Well now that the dust has settled and we’re back to at least some sense of normality let’s look back on the amazing month of July, the whole of which was set aside for Radio Free Fedi Fest 2025.
We must begin by showing our gratitude to @nprofile…mj9a for coming back from the sunset to galvanise the community once more and again be a beacon for highlighting the depth of talent in the Fedi music scene. Huge appreciation to the Hamster for powering that wheel all month long.
The Festival kicked off way back on the first of July with a typically outstanding performance from @nprofile…sq3t and @nprofile…zgty in which they performed their 80’s Kids live show especially for us. Fresh off touring the show they recreated the set from their basement, including the full light show and treating us to insights in to their workings with a Q+A after the set. The pair are without doubt masters of their crafts, and they combine those crafts perfectly to give us maximum joy. The 80s Kids tour is going on the road again soon. Check out the 80skids.live tour dates page to see if they’re coming to a town near you!
Speaking of Q+A, the next day was our turn to get on the stage. @nprofile…4nzp and I (@nprofile…yfkk) answered some of your questions in between presenting my 13th NHAM mixtape, which was put together as a showcase of RFFF25 – 12 songs from 12 of the artists that were to perform over the month. I was so grateful to sknob for his expertise in putting together the technical and aesthetic aspects of the show, and of course for the moral support. If you missed it we did manage to record the show which you can catch up on here.
On the third day of the event Damon Thomas (@nprofile…wza3) performed with spoken word. I was still backstage chatting to all the groupies that had assembled from our show so I missed it but Deb was there and she said, “Damon Thomas read excerpts from his Southern Gothic written works, in his gentle understated style, a thoroughly relaxing vignette of small-town life and growing up in the US South. We were left with images from a delightful time capsule of little people looming large in little places.”
Next to perform was @nprofile…cu7t and it was a performance the likes of which I’d never seen before: A fully blown VR performance in which the Fluffy that we saw was an animated critter on an animated stage in an animated venue with an animated guitar! The set is available on demand and you can follow Fluffy to be notified of future live performances, as we were informed that this critter from Seattle performs relatively regularly.
Then came @nprofile…63m9 who was an absolute delight. Kristoffer totally took us down in to full relaxation zone before belting us out with the booms and glitches in a really epic performance which combined amazing sounds and visuals. You can catch the show again on Kristoffer’s Hyper8 page. And he’s another to keep an eye on for future streams.
Next up was my NHAM co-conspirator @nprofile…4nzp. The master songwriter’s gig from the Rugged Scrublands somewhere in the South of France is also available on demand. In it he opened up by playing through his current EP, “Cities” before going through a rendition of some of his bonkwave tracks and playing covers of other Fedi musicians including @nprofile…0747, @nprofile…qppm and even 8 year old me!
The baton was then passed to Fedi superstar and regular streamer @nprofile…zqvx who combined wit, wizardry and wickedness (in the good sense!) despite having to take a call from her therapist (former talk show host, Dr Synergy Myers) during the show. This set wasn’t recorded but Meljoann is prolific when it comes to livestreaming. Just follow @nprofile…p3mh to keep in the loop with future performances.
On July 12th Pulu (@nprofile…mpd5) put on a show-stopping performance of beautiful sounds and quality beats in an incredible method of performing via multi-computer set up on a balcony by some woods in Helsinki. Rather than try to go in to the detail of the music production, for which I still can’t quite fathom, you can check it out for yourself via the recording of the stream. One particularly incredible moment in the show for me was when the bird song samples were being played and outside my own window behind me real birds were echoing the same calls to give me proper surround sound!
The next night @nprofile…nzw3 defrosted his Moogs for Remember Glaciers’ first 100% solar powered telling of Duncan Porter’s tale of two visits to the Rhone glacier. An eye opening storytelling of the demise of glaciers for many in the lobby. While this particular show was not recorded, there is a version available from his Gravitons Festival 2024 set.
As we came towards the middle of the month Grüezi Sexgott (@nprofile…zkr2) moved their weekly live streamed jam session over to the Radio Free Fedi stage as we dimmed the lights, heightened the haze and mellowed in to a smooth and funky improv set from the accomplished four-piece. They play every Tuesday at 9pm Swiss time.
Then came @nprofile…0a25. What a performer. Alex was so relaxed; at times moving; always fun; with quite beautiful playing; and being very clever all rolled in to one concert. She played covers and originals, taking requests too, of any song so long as it was about space. It’s something she does on Sunday’s over on spacesongsunday.com
I tried but largely failed to tune in to @nprofile…775n whilst on a coach. Fortunately it was made available to catch up on. With graphics that bounced in time with the music and an impressive rack of machines, synths and a big red button AxWax powered through some classic acid, techno, hip-hop and of course bonkwave. Donning his 80s Kids t-shirt in the sweltering Spanish heat, the ever delightful Axel played an encore of 20 minutes or so after the main set while we awaited the second act of the night…
Back home by this point I was able to enjoy @nprofile…clqj from the comfort of my own sofa. We watched an animated keyboard playing the notes that were improvised from prompts from the in the lobby which included 80s sitcoms, nightly news, small mammals in fancy hats, tramping cats and 80s detectives. It was quite something seeing vague concepts being brought to life by the sounds of a keyboard.
Then on July 23rd we witnessed @nprofile…7hg7 being brilliant with a large 4-stringed instrument, brilliant with a small 8-stringed instrument, brilliant with a regular 6-stringed instrument and even being brilliant on the magic trumpets. All on his actual birthday – inviting all of us festival goers to his party of left-field anti-folk – as we bopped along and celebrated with him. More from the creations of Fit and the Conniptions can be found here.
Next came ‘A Christmas in July Wasted’ with Deb Pickett (@nprofile…0747). The set up was as smooth as the performance as Deb beamed across the globe from Victoria, Australia. With lyrics and chord progressions often too clever for me Deb went down like a plump chap in a red suit down a chimney – with a bang and full of treats and gifts!
With the month drawing out we turned our gaze over to Toronto in Canada where @nprofile…wja2 performed from a basement with a low ceiling. Sadly he was too good that the hour whizzed by in an absolute flash. A highly accomplished musician and video maker, bgm did not disappoint.
What was disappointing, however, was that this was to be my last show. I had to leave the festival early for other commitments so I hand you over to sknob to run through the final three events…
Thanks Sam. Well, I’m not used to this exercise, but I’ll try to do the artists justice.
After a few words of introduction, Calin Dica aka @nprofile…jc0q literally blew our socks off as soon as we heard the first notes of his spectacular guitar playing. Expertly jumping from his guitar to his electronic gizmos with dizzying precision and grace, and even surprising the audience with some epic guitar solos, Calin Dica/akash treated us to a barrage of pure energy in song form. I think it’s safe to say we were all flabbergasted when he told us this was the first time he’d ever performed his music in a solo set. Catch up on demand.
What can I say about nightmother aka @nprofile…0nz2. I discovered her music only recently thanks to Sam, and to say that I’m a fan would be the understatement of the year. In fact I probably shouldn’t be allowed to review her set at all, but here we are, and here we were, teleported into her beautiful studio filled with too many knobs and dials to count (and a couple of totally oblivious dogs on a comfy looking couch). If you think you know synthesizers and electronic music, think again. The sounds that Alison conjures out of her machines is glorious, as is her singing. In fact, the chat which is usually full of wisecracking banter was stunned into silence on several occasions. I do have one complaint though. The set was way too short. Alison, we want more! Catch up on demand.
Synth music can also be gloriously harsh and furious. Just ask @nprofile…y3pf. Sorry, I don’t speak genres, but this absolutely ferocious set (showcasing the darker side of oontz as he eloquently puts it) was exceptional not only for its stunning and sometimes disturbing visuals, but also for its uncompromising original pieces old and new, its spectacular remixes of @nprofile…sq3t, and for its real drums played on an actual, real, physical drum kit! And when you thought you couldn’t be any more delightfully surprised, controlfreak got up and actually sang for us, well, beautifully (if he’ll pardon the expression), bringing RFFF25 to a perfect conclusion. Back to you Sam.
We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again, and again. We’re forever grateful for Radio Free Fedi and this month was a perfect exemplifier as to why. It’s about the @nprofile…lvsc and the artists but it’s not just about the music and the artists, it’s about the community. And this, THIS, showed just what community looks like.

@nprofile…jtcu Hi Simon,
Whoops! We follow as many Faircamp sites as we can and therefore get notified when a new release is made, which is what happened here. There is an ‘unlisted’ option in Faircamp to make a release publish but not public to followers: https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/manual/releases-release-eno.html#unlisted
Would you like us to take our post down for now?

[Read in full on NHAM]NHAM Update Opus 8 (Post-Partum Edition)By @nprofile…4nzp
So much stuff happened in July, and to be honest, having been involved in a lot of it, I’m a bit exhausted, so forgive me if I just cut to the chase.RFFF25
Radio Free Fedi Fest 2025, aka RFFF25, is over and it was a BLAST. A month-long extravaganza of inspiring, joyful, surprising, deliciously eclectic livestreams.
If you somehow missed it (how could you?), you’ll find a few recordings right here on NHAM or by clicking on the following links:
– @nprofile…63m9 and his mesmerizing northern soundscapes
– @nprofile…4nzp and his unplugged bonking and not bonking (and fedi cover songs)
– Pulu (@nprofile…mpd5) and the musical magic she conjures out of her vintage Macs
– @nprofile…775n and his inimitable and irresistible grooves (and his mystery boxes and big red button)
– A bit of @nprofile…wja2 and his songwriting genius (there, I said it)
– Calin Dica (@nprofile…jc0q) and his incredible energy, button-pushing choreography and guitar pyrotechnics
– Nightmother (@nprofile…0nz2) and her sparkling and soulful synths and vocals (and blasé doggos)
Thanks again to @nprofile…mj9a and the Hamster for bringing the fedi music community together once again. You are beloved.Bonkwave (and not bonkwave)
July also marked another bonkwave anniversary, which as is now customary, was celebrated musically by none other than @nprofile…775n who herded another stellar lineup of Bonkwave Allstars who released Happy Bonk Day 2025, and remixes by @nprofile…2523 and @nprofile…824v.
And if you want more bonkwave, or not bonkwave, you will be well rewarded by diving into The Four Seasons of Bonk Wave: Bonks of Spring 1 and Bonks of Spring 2 double album while we all wait with bated breath for the Summer double album to be released.NHAM Mixtape
As if that wasn’t enough musical excitement, NHAM Mixtape 14 – Nothing Heals A Monsoon dropped, expertly curated by NHAM’s very own Sam. And as usual, it is also available on AudioInterface (thank you @nprofile…7xja) and therefore in your favorite podcast app.Words
What should one do when one isn’t listening to music? Why, listen to people talking about music of course!
– @nprofile…eptg has a great interview with @nprofile…khvf of Basspistol fame. Well actually, I had no idea who was behind Basspistol, and was delighted to discover Setto. I kept nodding energetically in agreement throughout the interview.
– Fireside Fedi (@nprofile…uuja) interviewed the delightful and thoughtful Simon Repp (@nprofile…euej) of Faircamp and Hyper8 fame. We’re huge fans here. Nuff said.
– And I’m really glad we are hosting a couple of episodes of @nprofile…0nz2 and @nprofile…ch7k great podcast, Too Much Music, in which they brilliantly discuss music-making and creativity. A lot more uncontrollable nodding. I’m hooked.Releases

Two really great episodes from the Too Much Music Podcast by Greg (@nprofile…ch7k) and Alison (@nprofile…0nz2) are now available to watch in the podcasts section of NHAMtv.
In them they chat about:
The toxic grip of big tech on creativity and mental autonomy,
Rebelling against Facebook,
DeGoogling,
How algorithms poison focus, erode privacy, and stifle artistic expression,
The hidden cost of “engagement”: stolen attention spans, fractured communities, and a world where making art feels impossible,
Reclaiming our minds from the feed,
Making art without selling your soul to capitalism,
Spotify and AI,
The hope of Mastodon and The Fediverse,
Community and Radio Free Fedi Fest.

@nprofile…gkl4’s @nprofile…uuja chat with Simon Repp (@nprofile…euej) of Faircamp fame.
Tom Ray (@nprofile…eptg)’s conversation with Set (@nprofile…khvf) from Basspistol.
Both fascinating to hear from as two highly intelligent and bloody lovely individuals who are doing great things in our music community.

Nothing Heals A Monsoon – NHAM Mixtape 14
Welcome to the 14th NHAM mixtape where you’re going to be eased in gently before being swayed one way and another, at the end of which you’ll have received a deluge of delectable sounds from some of the best musicians circulating the Fediverse.
As always there is also a radio show version of this mixtape with some chat about the tracks. That can be found on Audio Interface (@nprofile…7xja) from the first Monday of the month as well as featuring in NHAM Radio‘s Mixtape Mondays and Thursdays slots.⬇️ Click below to begin playing, and keep the page open to hear the mix in full.[If viewing from the Fediverse you need to click here to listen to the mixtape on NHAM]
1. Clouds Over Grass by James Hastings
All Rights Reserved
@nprofile…36r9
James is someone I’ve been wanting to feature for a while and so when he dropped not one, not two, but three albums on the same day last month I knew this was the time. “Clouds Over Grass” is from “An Observed Earth” – James in nature.
2. solar punk by Naze du Vide
All Rights Reserved
@nprofile…jws6
I mean the song’s called “solar punk”, what more do you want? Bloody gorgeous though, isn’t it?! Wonderfully blending the rough with the smooth; the natural with the industrial; the tranquil with the triumphant; the modern with the classical, this is a gem of a composition.
3. New Delusion by Lime Bar
All Rights Reserved
@nprofile…mh0l
Dust yourselves off and try again. Lime Bar is a superstar of the Fedi music scene, contributing so much to help amplify the brilliant artists in this space. So let me try to amplify Lime Bar and his super “New Delusion” (which also has an accompanying video). As well as amplifying artists Lime Bar has done loads of behind the scenes work to aid the music community, including significant technical contributions for Audio Interface, NHAM and The Indie Beat Radio.
4. Nothing by Romeo Rucha
All Rights Reserved
@nprofile…k6nx
When Romeo Rucha’s album came out earlier this year I saw many people get very excited. Having not previously having had the pleasure of an introduction this was my opportunity to get acquainted and it didn’t take long to understand the aforementioned heady fervour. Nothing. I love it. I respect it. And seriously: do more nothing, kids!
5. Marenge by Lies & Sets
CC-BY-SA-NC
@nprofile…khvf + @nprofile…yrl3
These two are a husband and wife duo from Sweden with Lies on luscious vocals. Sets aka Setto is the man behind the brilliant Basspistol collective: an ‘Outernational Music Syndicate’ operating as a pro-active reaction to everything that is broken in the music-industry.
6. Monsoon by Ben Beltran
CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
@nprofile…75a3
Ben aka Ruben makes some lovely pop songs. Born in Mexico and residing in Berlin he part-inspired the title of this mixtape, “Monsoon” comes from his 2018 album “Heaven”.
7. Gjensyn med enkelte rim by Espen Reinertsen
All Rights Reserved
@nprofile…dk9h
Adding to the stock of great Fedi musicians from Norway (alongside the likes of @nprofile…63m9, @nprofile…35vx and @nprofile…dga5) Espen currently has two absolutely delicious albums out and I believe a third is on the horizon. “Gjensyn med enkelte rim” is from “Nattsyntese”.
8. TOUCAN by Armatures
All Rights Reserved
@nprofile…7wxr
Preston aka Armatures is a Brighton based producer of top notch electronic music. “TOUCAN” is the second track from his latest album, “OSPREY”, which he says is less experimental and more fun than his previous releases.
9. Good Things, Good Times, Positive People (In My Life) by BrotherSoul
CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
@nprofile…2nku
It’s likely you’ve heard of BrotherSoul from his regular DJ sets on Love A Brother Radio. It’s possibly a little less known that he also makes soulful house beats. Some, like this one, adorned with his own great vocals. So let’s make this a better known fact: BrotherSoul is a fantastic musician! Also keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming NHAM-LABR collab where BrotherSoul will be mixing some NHAM mixtape tunes in his Pick and Mix show.
10. Somebody by Stefan Bohacek
All Rights Reserved
@nprofile…0tp5
There’s nothing Stefan puts out that I don’t like. It’s why I love writing and recording vocals over his music (for which we have plenty on the way!) “Somebody”, however, is one of his tracks that is just perfect as it is without anything added to it.
11. Mr Loaded by Danny Groenland
All Rights Reserved
@nprofile…xtc0
It was Fedi popper @nprofile…zqvx that introduced me to her compatriot Mr Groenland, and Danny’s got a brand new album called “burning rome”. The funky and right on “Mr Loaded” comes hot off it, using a funky and soulful vibe to express the inequality of billionaires accumulating obscene riches while most people struggle to get by.

Bringing back a mid-noughties Late of the Pier / Klaxons vibe, “Dance with me” is an invitation to briefly forget what’s going on in the world and fall back on one of life’s simplest and most liberating of activities. Täglich Frisches Obst (which translates as ‘Daily Fresh Fruit’) are a Linz-based, 5-piece indie-pop band who like to combine elements of funk, rock and jazz.
Bonus track! = Fiebertraum by Täglich Frisches Obst
“Fever Dream” represents an expression of the chaos of both the EP, “Burger Queen Sex Kola” that these two tracks came from, and that of everyday life.
So that was the 14th NHAM mixtape titled Nothing Heals A Monsoon. -Perhaps now you’ve listened to the mixtape the title holds a different meaning than the when you first read it? 👀

[Read in full on NHAM]Apophonia by Roberta FidoraReview by @nprofile…8594
Apophonia is a 5 track EP released by Roberta Fidora back in 2023. It’s full of catchy synthpop, and songs with a wistful, melancholic, self-aware, left of centre, humorous touch. All the tracks have a cohesive feel, but with a slightly different take on each.
Shoreliner could almost be a darkwave remix of a 1980s goth pop rock song, and Biarritz drives along with a solid bass sequence and synth string melodies.
All the tracks feel almost like torch songs. I’d love to be in a club and hear danceable tracks such as Biarritz, Is It Too Late For Fan Clubs?, and Shoreliner popping out of the speakers.
Roberta’s vocals soar in places, and this works especially well in the melancholic minimal atmospheric ballad of You Live Alone.
As well as the songs themselves there are a couple of great videos for Biarritz (below), and Is It Too Late For Fan Clubs? featuring a quirky, surreal humour …and puppets. You can find all of her videos over on her Gravitons Peertube channel.
Roberta asks, “I’m playing my tiny violin. Will you listen? Will you listen?” Yes, I will! In fact I’ve got this EP on repeat. Such a great set of tracks.
You can find Apophonia on Roberta’s site.
And you can follow Roberta on Mastodon (@nprofile…00hm).
