We’re back with another fantastic RG EMOM Podcast!

Recorded live at the October 2025 EMOM for those that couldn’t make the event, or who just want to re-live an incredible night of performances!

We had a great line-up for this night, including Corporation Tramways & Fine Arts Committee, Neurish, Harmonic Motion, AM Frequencies, Technomadic and Electrohed.

The final RG EMOM of 2025 is this Thursday, November 20th, so come on down to South Street Arts Centre for the last party of the year! 

An introduction to an exciting project of ours… The Reading EMOMS!

Recorded live at each EMOM so if you couldn't make it in person, you won’t miss a thing. With performances from Christopher J Marshall, i4M2, Spryt Electra, Anduna J, Obrasendub, Steve Norris and Bovine Boy.  

This episode of the Music Changing Lives podcast was recorded at our September EMOM, and if you like what you hear, you can join on on Thursday the 23rd of October for the next edition of the Autumn EMOMS.

Back in February, Readipop's XOX Project celebrated the Emu SP-12's role in the creation of Hip Hop and Trip Hop.

Guest speaker Tony Nwachukwu (music producer, DJ, lecturer and Music Technology consultant) came to talk about the history of the sampler, demonstrate how to use it and help us discover why it's such an important machine.

Tony Nwachukwu is a founding member of UK trip hop band Attica Project. Formed in 1994, they have released many albums and singles, one of which is 1995's Mo'Wax release "Blueprint", which features the Emu SP-12 on the cover!

This is a showcase from the second part of the event, check out our other podcast for part one - the interview!
