Our Friends at IKLECTIK lost their venue recently, due to the Old Paradise Yard site being bought by developers. A small oasis of creativity and wonderment in the heart of London gone forever. Or has it?

Isa and Eduard are the lovely people who run IKLECTIK, a nonprofit creative organisation supporting experimental sound, art and technology. The crowdfunder page, is here, which explains why we are supporting this wonderful project in the hope that they get to continue their excellent work.

Castles In Space have scrambled and they’ve managed to pull together a fabulous 33 track compilation of new and exclusive music from their impressive roster of artists – including the exclusive Howlround track ‘Splattering Penge Version Two’. As label head Colin puts it: ‘I swear, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever been involved in. The quality of the work from everyone involved speaks volumes about the respect in which Isa and Eduard are held from anyone who has ever had an interaction with them or played at their amazing venue’. Check it out here.

However, time is tight. The crowdfunder closes at the end of this month and it’s an all or nothing deal. If they don’t make the target, all money will be returned and we will have lost something very special. Their future plans include finding a new home and taking the IKLECTIK experience to other venues around the UK. CiS have opened up all tracks on the album so people can listen on the bandcamp, but this album will not be available on streaming platforms.

Please give what you can to ensure these excellent people can continue to do their exceptional work.
