ANNOUNCEMENT
After a year of uncertainty, the Audio Farm team are over the moon to announce that in the summer of 2020 Audio Farm presents Audio Farm Festival is back!
This big announcement has only been made possible thanks to all of you incredible and super generous humans who either donated to the crowdfunder, or whom attended one of the Audio Farm events over the past 12 months, helping reach the £20,000 target set in September 2018.
Knowing that Audio Farm means so much to you all gives the 100s of the hard working Audio Farm crew so much energy and belief that this non-corporate, roots festival can exist, have a future and thrive. Honestly, it's hard to put the feelings of the crew into words, but they for sure include grateful, humbled, happy, emotional, excited and loved. So, thank you all once again from the bottom of our hearts! The future of the festival has been saved! Onwards and upwards!

The 2020 Festival will take place at Hopton Court (as 2018) on 3rd to 8th September 2020. Presented by Audio Farm, the festival will be returning back to the Audio Farm Festival concept of being a 5 day festival, as opposed to the 4 days of Audio Farm Festival 2018, with ‘Magical Monday’ being reintroduced, giving you that extra day of festival chill. Audio Farm presents Audio Farm Festival will also see the return of 25 incredible stage hosts who will help curate the music day and night. The hosts have been selected from some of the UKs biggest collectives from Manchester, Preston, Liverpool, North Wales, Birmingham, Bristol, and beyond. Other than these extras, expect the same as 2018. The 5 days of entertainment and music will start at 7am as the sun rises, and will continue for 20 hours each day and night, ending with the infamous Audio Farm fire shows, accompanied by walk around circus, magic and cabaret shows.

Audio Farm 2018 Revisited: SPECIAL REQUEST & XDB live
With festival season in full swing and it feels weird that there is no audio farm event this year, however, we're getting some much-needed rest and recuperation ahead of future plans.
With the hope of taking you back to Hopton Court last year, we've got a double offer of world-class music recorded on the Saturday at Audio farm.
From a hazy afternoon on the Sundance stage, we have a favourite from this year's Freerotation festival the larger than life XDB. And from The Home Of The Drum stage later that evening, Paul Woolford's rave marauder alias 'Special Request' It's fair to say that these two artists are at the forefront of what they do and we're so happy we can finally share these with you.
Many thanks to Alex Downey for all the help in capturing these recordings.
Look to the website, Instagram, Soundcloud and Facebook pages for more mixes and up to date information about our upcoming events and shows x
Audio Farm presents Steevio and Suzybee this Easter Weekend
Steevio has been involved in electronic music since he managed the UK’s first electro / breakdance club The Sidewalk in 1982 in Newcastle. It was the beginning of a love affair with machines that has only grown stronger with the passing years. His early electro experiments were surpassed throughout the 90’s when he became a live techno artist at clubs and free parties in the UK releasing dozens of records under various aliases such as 3000003, Free Radicals and Mindtours, and managed several techno labels, culminating in the formation of the Mindtours label with Suzybee in 2000.
Always remaining stoutly underground, with the focused intention of producing original live electronic music on hardware, in 2005 he returned to his former interest in organising events and created the first Freerotation Festival with Suzybee in Wales. Freerotation has grown from a small party for friends and like-minded musicians into the highly-regarded and much-loved international event it is today.
Freerotation has furnished Steevio with the perfect platform to showcase his live hardware performances, but everything moved up a gear in 2009 when he built a dedicated modular synthesizer as an improvisational instrument on which to make techno, and from 2010 he began performing live on his new set-up at Freerotation.
Steevio’s modular is 100% analogue, so there are no memories to save sounds or sequencing patterns, and everything happens in real time. Steevio’s performances are pure improvisation, and all the music is totally unique to each gig. All the sequences and sounds are created from scratch on the fly.
Recently Steevio has embarked on several projects with other live artists, The High-on-Wye Quintet with Move D, Soulphiction and Juju & Jordash, and Circle of Live with Sebastian Mullaert, Mathew Jonson, Johanna Knutsson and Dorisburg, and more recently the Circle of Live has expanded to include such diverse artists as Amp Fiddler, Peter Van Hoesen, Frank Wiedermann, Steffi, Vril and more.
