The Secret Shade & Strange Brew presents feeo (AD 93) Ugnė Uma (Somewhere Press) Radio Hito (Maple Death Records x Meakusma) Friday 20th February 2026 19:00 - 22:00 Three of today's most distinctive artists shaping hazy, experimental worlds of minimal electronics, voice and ambient poetics. All tipped for 2025’s end-of-year lists. Essential listening for your ears!⁠ ________________________ feeo | @_feeo_ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ feeo released her debut album Goodness on AD 93 in October 2025 - an impressionistic mix of drone, ambient, experimental electronics, improvisation and minimalist dance music. The record is illuminated by striking vocals and poetic language, shifting fluidly between forms and voices. Outside of feeo, Laird is one half of Crosspiece with bassist Caius Williams and a member of the GRAIN Residency for improvised and experimental music.⁠ ⁠ Ugnė Uma | @ugneuma ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Ugnė Uma draws from poetry and Lithuania’s 20th-century underground jazz and folk scenes that emerged alongside the country’s independence movements. As well as an art writer and essayist, in 2023 she released with saxophonist Sam Gendel on Meakusma, an album exploring cosmic and inner space through improv, abstracted pop and R&B textures.⁠ ⁠ Recently in November, she unveiled her first solo release on Glasgow label Somewhere Press: a smoky, dim-lit 7" that sold out instantly on Boomkat followed by a sold out repress on Bandcamp. Thee Rage Love Strange Love EP is a must for fans of Carla dal Forno and Voice Actor, blending layered vocals, drum machine loops and subtle piano flourishes.⁠ ⁠ Radio Hito | @radio_hito ⁠⁠ ⁠ Days and nights, living in the clarity of mind and voice: Radio Hito’s compositions get stripped down to the bare elements while still retaining the solemn power of truth. The words of others gain meaning of their own through a contemplatively personal rendition whose simplicity manages to brim with endless poetic possibility. (GGR) Zen My Nguyen under her alias Radio Hito has spent the last two years adapting a poem by Claude Royet-Journoud, ‘L'usage et les attributs du cœur’ (POL, 2021). A ten-sequences song cycle for soundfonts and voice and an Italian libretto which had evolved over the course of about 80 concerts, from Galicia to Kazakhstan, before finding their recorded form. Her project is experiential and based on principles of economy of performance, simple words, forms and contexts; if poetry is a ‘profession of ignorance’ according to Claude Royet-Journoud, then Radio Hito would gladly be a hobby that strives to know. 'L’uso e gli attributi del cuore', a song cycle by Radio Hito Out on March 2026 on Maple Death Records & Meakusma During the two years prior to its release 'L’uso e gli attributi del cuore', has been performed live about 80 times including special arrangements for prepared piano, electric keyboard, fm radios, church organs, Philicorda and visuals in Europe and Asia featuring on special occasions: Suzan Peeters (Accordion), Alex Andropoulos [able noise] (Drums), Arthur Chambry (Percussions/trumpet), David Bennewith (Visuals), Fera (electronics), Adrián de Alfonso (FM amplification), Omar Cheikh (Visuals). ________________________
