Sounds of OFF THE RADAR festival

Really, we just wanted to organise a festival. To simply put on a party, with heaps of friends and acquaintances, and companions from the old days and the new. We got the bookings made, invited some pros to join in, and shipped a whole lot of equipment over in a 40-foot container from Hamburg to Auckland, to eventually land in the middle of a beautiful forest. The first OFF THE RADAR festival took place from the 31st of January till the 2nd of February 2014 in the middle of nowhere, an hour and a half north of Auckland. We kept it nice and old school with generator-supplied power, multiple weeks of crew camping and next to no budget, with industry sponsorship being ruled out from the very beginning. It was a lot of work, but then something happened. It all came together! And the end result? A bunch of awesome artists and crew, an amazing audience, and an empty treasury! But, the feedback was so overwhelming that we got the call to do it again. So here we are, doing it again! Various artists from the first and second editions of OFF THE RADAR have each produced a song especially for the festival to help keep the project alive. From these tracks we have created, with the assistance of the online distribution of digital music, an OFF THE RADAR compilation.
