'An alternative to AI slop': Banbury music collective to bring live electronic night to town

The Thames Valley Electronic Music Open Mic (TV EMOM) collective’s free electronic music night will take place at Also Known As on Sunday, September 6.

Running from 6pm until 10pm, the event will feature performances from eight artists, from Banbury and further afield, including local DJ CLARA.

Each performance will be around 20 minutes long, and the genres covered include everything from ambient and downtempo to techno, electro, experimental, and glitch.

Founding member of TV EMOM Simon Prytherch said: “We set up TV EMOM in January to support all of the grass roots electronic artists in the Banbury, Oxford and Reading areas.

“I am always surprised at the variety in the music and how truly exceptional the performers are. If you want an alternative to AI slop on Spotify, then this is what you have been looking for.”

Since forming in January, the collective has also organised free music events in Oxford and Reading.

Local music educator and TV EMOM member James Stevenson said: “I’ve performed live music for over twenty years, and can honestly say performing at TV EMOM’s previous Banbury event changed my life.

“I’ve been welcomed into the community with open arms, and have been able to share my passion with others, including supporting young people with their first

steps into live electronics”.
