🌎📻 10 years ago we opened the Pyramid and WWFM officially begun. This marked the official launch. Which didn't actually go that well. If memory serves me right, we geo blocked ourselves. So it was more Stoke Newington FM than WWFM. Anyways, it's a different iteration now, the Pyramid (building) serves another purpose, WWFM has been shut down, been reopened, been hanging out on Monkeys Shoulders and now there are some new different people that I don't know. Some of the same, but not quite the same. But it's there. And you can listen to it all around the World (I think). I hope it's still being enjoyed 🎢 taken in London, United Kingdom by @thristian

Another throwback 📺 To a time when we showcased independent mind thought, arts, culture, music and some experimental language on @channel4

I thought it was great.

"Best show ever"

"A breath of fresh air"

We even won an award. Like a proper TV industry one 🏆

... and then it got cancelled and that's it. No ring backs, nothing.

I can't believe this is 10 years ago now...

Thanks to @djmadamx and @jamescinq for sharing

And ALL @fttf.world people dem 💪🏿 I see you

I'm still about FYI by @thristian

Those days when I used to go to Luton Airport once a month on a Wednesday in the morning after Boiler Room in London on a Tuesday evening, arrive in Schoenefeld. @opium_hum & @greco_roman_music would welcome me and and we'd throw an experimental music party in a swimming pool in Wedding, broadcast it on the internet and be finished by midnight

Happy Anniversary by @thristian

Huge thanks to everyone that came down to @TateLiverpool for my conversation with @mark.leckey. it's the first time we've met, somehow we ended up speaking about spirituality in the digital age, some philosophical stuff including Plato, and how it's not only important to break yourself down as an artist, but also to allow yourself to disintegrate into puddles 🧊 it wasn't recorded, I don't think. So that's it. If you missed it, you missed it. by @thristian

I bought the World Cup from @subbuteolabitalia ⚽🇮🇹

And "It's Coming Home" (with me).

It reminded me of the simple magic that Subuteo is. The owner asked if I still play, I said "no, computer games now". But thats not true anymore either.

Anyways, as you've probably noticed I watch and talk a lot about football and sport, and I'm going to embrace it. I have been posting my muses sporadically on @cupworldclub (formerly FCKANU) for the past couple of years, but now it's time to up the pace.

With the World Cup in America promising to be the Worst World Cup ever and generating a fair share of talking points. Like, "when was the last time a team played at a world cup where the host nation is at war with them?"

We'll do watch parties, gaming tournaments, streams, dig into sport sub cultures, vintage shirts and all the good things surrounding creativity and culture in sport.

I thought I'd let you know that i'll be here for all of it and it also means I won't flood my @Thristian feed with a bunch of sport stuff.

I've also registered cupworldcup.com (doesn't work yet). Let's see where this goes.

It's all a part @TheGRIN.io (Global Roots Innovation Network). Lots more coming on that ... very soon. by @thristian

How epic is this?

Who made this @worldwide_festival_sete? It's a great example of how to maintain creativity with all these new digital tools we have? Sick!

I'm just gonna stick this in loop and keep it as my wallpaper.

Seriously tho. Buy the book of you can and if you're coming to Sete this year. see you there.

Is this the line up ? @ivan_halen_semeria @gillespeterson

FML LFG ! When I was a youth I promised my self I'd be in a line up with Sir @MrGoldie. Look at me now. I've actually got a couple of stories about how he scared the spectacles out of me twice. Once when he turned up @boilerroomtv during he @metalheadzmusic takeover and was checking the chat room over my shoulder.... And then pulling up on me at @allpointseastuk in his massive wagon. 💩'd myself then the window winds down "oi Thris! Where's the parking?" these are the moments 💪🏿

Don't get me started on telling my 16 year old self that I'd be a celebrating 20 years of not only @worldwide_festival_sete but working with @GillesPeterson . LIKE! AS IF!!!?!!!! by @thristian

Siamo pronti a scrivere un altro capitolo, ad attraversare un’altra notte di palpiti e sospiri
all’interno del perimetro dell’Escandalo Total

Thristian è un architetto culturale e storyteller londinese, il cui lavoro crea legami senza confini tra musica, arte e comunità attraverso l’innovazione e la collaborazione. Ha dedicato gli ultimi vent’anni alla creazione di piattaforme, programmi e spazi culturali che mettono in relazione artisti, pubblico e idee. Il suo lavoro spazia dalla radiodiffusione alla curatela, dalla direzione creativa alla produzione culturale, sempre con un’attenzione particolare al modo in cui la musica e l’arte possono aprire nuove prospettive di visione, ascolto e aggregazione. È stato co-fondatore di Boiler Room e successivamente di Worldwide FM, plasmando nuovi modelli di radiodiffusione indipendente e di scambio culturale globale.

Odd Shy Guy, fondatore dell’universo NormCore crea paesaggi sonori con la precisione di una mente analitica e la profonda sensibilità di chi vive la musica come un’esperienza totalmente immersiva, portando avanti una visione personale della cultura dei club e dei sound system, in costante equilibrio tra innovazione e radici. Nel 2026, Odd Shy Guy ha lanciato un nuovo progetto con lo pseudonimo di DJ Shuden, concentrandosi sui vinili e affondando le radici nella techno e nella house.

Colas ha smesso di essere giovane, secondo lo stato, il giorno dopo avere compiuto 27 anni. I 18 anni che sono seguiti sono stati un viaggio nelle montagne russe della musica vissuta prima da appassionato, poi da giornalista e ora da lavoratore dietro le quinte. Ha fondato 42 Records, conduce un podcast dove si parla di dischi, una newsletter dove ogni tanto parla anche di cazzi suoi e uno show mensile su Radio Raheem dove si diverte a mixare un po’ della musica che gli piace. Si esibisce in pubblico pochissime volte l’anno e una di queste è quasi sempre per Escandalo Total.

Ingresso: 20€
