This Friday we are playing at EKKO! Our album ‘Deep Below’ has a special connection with this venue. In 2021 we teamed up with Palmbomen for an in house residency and turned EKKO into an analog recording studio. One of that weeks creations Cashmere Carey was released on Ekko’s 35th anniversary LP.

@ratsonrafts.bsky.social doet tijdens hun tour Londen aan en wekt ontzag met een set vol nieuw stemmig werk. Wie op de oude hits hoopte, komt er bekaaid vanaf. #TheVictoriaDalston #london #review #concert #goldheart #richardjamesfoster muziscene.nl/2025/02/27/d...
