Café Oto turns Swiss

Café Oto – a factory space post-industrially converted into a large café/music venue in London’s Dalston area – is without the shadow of a doubt one of the most important experimental music venues in Europe. From 21 – 23 February 2019, Café Oto will host the second edition of the Oto Nové Swiss festival. The festival was initiated by the great people from the legendary (and legendarily idyllic) Bad Bonn venue in Düdingen together with Lucerne’s centre for the performing arts, Südpol, and Präsens Editionen, the publishers, with the aim to bring together adventurous artists from Switzerland and the UK.

This year, the Zurich-based promoter Spezialmaterial is the guest curator. Also involved are two venues, Amalgame and Cave12. The performances include a DJ set by London-based veteran DJ, producer, writer, radio host, and label owner Andrew Weatherall, as well as live sets by Swiss synth-pop and sound art fusionist Belia Winnewisser, Bristol-based grime-noise-dub-punk-duo ASDA (feat. Vessel and chester giles), Swiss drone/industrial-trio Tout Bleu, and Swiss noise-legend Norbert Möslang.
