/////////////// NEW ALPHA-VILLE PODCAST PRESENTS ROLY PORTER /////////////////////

Continuing the re-emergence of Bristol’s Subtext, former Vex’d artist Roly Porter presents a mix of current and forthcoming music from the label including tracks from label mates Emptyset.
We’re very happy to say that the mix he’s made for Alpha-ville is arguably one of the finest in the series; an abstract and sombre affair, which, like his album, eschews beats altogether. We won’t spoil it here but rather leave you to discover it for yourself….

Read exclusive interview with him and then listen or download the mix for free for the next 3 weeks: HERE.

The network has developed projects such as ICAS Kitchen and CineChamber. We look forward to exciting collaborations and exchange with other members!

Congratulations also to Nemo (Paris) and Dis-Play (Spain).

The session is open to everyone, join us at The Ben Pimlott building, Goldsmiths College, Lewisham Way New Cross, London SE14 6NW.

An exciting opportunity to contribute to the future of Alpha-ville, a fast-growing digital culture organisation.

Alpha-ville is a non-profit organisation that explores the intersection between arts, technology and society. Its main activity is Alpha-ville Festival, an annual event that has been running since 2009.

The 2011 edition attracted 5,000 live attendees and offered education, debate and participation through concerts, screenings, talks, workshops, open labs, symposium, interactive installations, online activities and urban interventions.

With a team of 2 full time members, 10 part time staff alongside a volunteer team of 40 people, Alpha-ville Festival has built a reputation for delivering a programme that is thought-provoking and innovative, covering a wide variety of fields. Alpha-ville has become a catalyst for digital innovation in London and a fast developing organisation with significant potential for the future.

We are now calling out for Non Executive Advisory Board Members to contribute to future development, continued excellence in digital culture and long term sustainability.
