genuinely insane set from @umru_ The past year for me has been finding spaces to externalize my love of music and tonight I got to witness something I only dream of.

The loss of Iklectik, which over the past few years has become the most adventurous, and friendliest, venue for experimental music in London, and part of a wonderful creative community at Paradise Yard, will be a huge loss to the city’s cultural landscape.

Update on today's layoffs:
Today, Epic Games’ sale of Bandcamp to Songtradr was closed and at least half of Bandcamp’s staff was laid off. This is heartbreaking. We love our jobs, the platform we’ve built, and the Bandcamp community. We’re glad we have our union — coworkers who have each other’s backs. We’ll be moving together to decide what our next steps are. On Wednesday we return to the bargaining table with Epic Games, and we’ll keep you updated. Love and solidarity to the whole Bandcamp community. Thank you for your support.
