Easterndaze
Easterndaze is a project that explores and highlights new music from Central and Eastern Europe through a variety of channels including radio shows (London's Resonance FM, the Východiska show on Czech public radio station Radio Wave, [Habitat.fm] netradio), concerts, music releases and a blog.
Easterndaze aims to explore the current political and social status quo in some of the countries of the region through the eyes of those most vulnerable to social change - young artists who are still under the radar.
Easterndaze aims not only to raise awareness of up-and-coming - mainly experimental and electronic - artists in the West, but more importantly to increase the conspicuously low level of information and cooperation between Eastern European art scenes.
The affiliated Baba Vanga has been in operation since 2013.
Launched in 2009, the project is led by Lucia Udvardyová and Peter Gonda.
