OOO (Out of Office) Radio is a mobile community radio station for experimental sound and curious ears. Based in Helsinki, physically it is a set of tools and internet broadcasting equipment that can be borrowed and used to broadcast remotely from any space (including outdoors by battery power).

OOO Radio has a focus on experimental sound, art, talks, conversations and things that do not have a place on conventional radio. Anyone can borrow the radio equipment for broadcasting their own ideas.

OOO Radio was set up in 2023 by Samantha Lippett and James Prevett, broadcasting live for the whole of November 2023 from Forum Box, Helsinki. Currently, OOO Radio broadcasts sporadically and will be officially relaunched in Spring 2024.

Seydisfjordur Community Radio 107.1 is a shared digital and analogue broadcasting platform located in the village of Seyðisfjörður on the east-coast of Iceland – hosted, nurtured and initiated by an open-ended international community inhabiting different conditions and positions, often somewhat distributed in various locations on the planetary surface. From these places and timezones we share, we inquire and we keep in touch – over and through radio. 

The community of listeners, broadcasters and hiding places morphs changes with time – some could say quite the foggy operation. Please consider this fog an open invitation to get in touch if you are interested in holding the radio in some way, even if just for a short while. We will do our best to include everyone who is interested in contributing and/ or listening in.

In 2025, Seydisfjordur Community Radio 107.1 and the LungA School will start an ongoing experiment around an open arts-program holding and facilitating itself through and via radio-transmission. A school community and work-group geographically dispersed, connected and collaborating within the radio as medium. A chrome ear singing to an open palm.

The musicprofile covers anything and everything between hard hitting country and the strangest punk voices.

radiOrakel was founded in 1982, when the Norwegian government opened up for allowing local radio stations to run parallel to the government stations. The funds for starting the radio was collected at a women’s culture festival, and on the 16th of October 1982, radiOrakel was founded. Their first editor was Rita Westvik.

Cashmere Radio is a not-for-profit community experimental radio station which was originally based in Lichtenberg, Berlin for the first six years of its existence before recently moving to Wedding. The ambition of the station is to preserve and further radio and broadcasting practices by playing with the plasticity and malleability of the medium. They do this by both honouring and challenging its inherent qualities: it is both a physical station open to the public and an online radio; it has regular shows, yet opens itself up to extended and one-off events; it features extended generative music performances and installations at the same time as working within radio’s typical durations. In short, it is an attempt to enhance and celebrate the performative, social and informative power of radio that we believe lies within the form itself. The radio can be heard 24 hours a day, seven days a week on our website, and on Friday and Saturdays via 88,4 Berlin and 90,7 Potsdam via the 24/3 Radio Netzwerk, a collaboration between six of Berlin’s independent radio stations — Reboot.FM, BLN.FM, WEAREBORNFREE! EMPOWERMENT RADIO, Savvy Funk, Radiomobil and Cashmere.

Cashmere was a recipient of the 2020 Berlin Art Week prize for Best Project Space. We also received the prize in 2018 for our collaboration with reboot.fm on the Auditive Social Network, a meshwork of studios that use the Berlin airwaves as a participatory room for experimental and artistic broadcasts. They were recently awarded Basisförderung from the Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Europa as part of our two-year Radio as Social Sculpture program, and will host the large-scale radio gathering Signals2Noise in October 2024.
