Hearing Colours Soundsystem – Sunday

NoBorders Takeover

Rounding off the weekend at Patch, we will be handing the keys over to 'NoBorders' for a super relaxed Sunday session filled with ambient sounds and textures with a nod to Middle Eastern flavours. Relax into the day with album plays, balearic sounds, global fusions, and special live performances.

To accompany the day's music we will have Goan-inspired small plates and a chai bar.

Rob da Bank (Ambient DJ set)

As the creator and founder behind the seminal Sunday Best night in South London during the 90s, and continuing later in East London, Rob da Bank through Sunday Best, championed and lead the way for the ambient scene that continues today.

As well as the aforementioned founder of Sunday Best, Rob is a DJ, vinyl collector, promotor, broadcaster, label head, co-founder of the award-winning Bestival and Camp Bestival, and hell of a lovely guy!

For over a decade on BBC Radio 1 and through his own promotions, he has championed the absolute best in left-field electronica and ambient music, famously steering the late-night airwaves on The Blue Room.

He has spent nearly thirty years shaping the UK's alternative electronic scene at home, and abroad, so, for our last day of the weekend's hi-fi adventures into sound, Rob will be returning to his deepest musical roots to deliver a spellbinding, deep ambient DJ set - weaving together immersive soundscapes, hypnotic chill-out tracks, and cinematic ambience.... And we cannot wait.

James E Burton (Deconstructed Live AV / Atlas Run )

James E Burton is a South Coast-based self-producing artist whose music drifts between downtempo, ambient, sample-based lo-fi and electronica. Originally a guitarist and long-time member of various bands, James now works predominantly as a solo artist, combining live instrumentation with synths, samples, field recordings and found sounds.

His influences are deliberately wide-ranging, from a teenage love of late-80s and 90s DIY indie to a deeper fascination with Americana, jazz, folk, Afrobeat and Brazilian music, alongside sample-based lo-fi, electronica and countless other sounds picked up along the way. His sound is constantly evolving, and he has little interest in pinning it down to one particular style.

Atlas Run is his latest album and sees him return to the independent approach where it all began. Reflecting a period of personal change against the backdrop of a fleeting English summer, the album unfolds from dawn to dusk, blending Balearic textures, downtempo grooves and ambient moments into a loose musical journey about moving forward and finding peace.

Haram Tapes (Live)

Haram Tapes is a collaborative project from Sumatran Black & Campari Safari whose sounds draw on Muslimgauze, Coil, William Basinski, Vangelis, Aphex Twin, Gas and BOC, with newer material drawing on Dean Blunt and Basinski's Disintegration Loops and the Water album.

After releasing two tapes on Italo Italians, a label based in Perugia, with Album 3 pencilled for 2027, each release was promoted and distributed DIY through mail and digital. A small niche fanbase was built and nurtured through admiration of other ambient and experimental musicians djs writers and promoters.

Covered by Pitchfork in "How Musicians Are Using Field Recordings to Capture the Politics of Place," which described the project as offering "shadowy musical discourse on the displacement of people" and highlighted the track "Mohammed's Reflection"

Their music is described as heavily manipulated field recordings, eyewitness interviews, and ominously sculptured beats, all recorded by contributors outside their country of origin.
Micky Browne (DJ set)

Head Honcho of NoBorders, DJ, musical curator and connector of people. His role is less about defining a particular sound and more about creating the conditions for unexpected connections to happen - between artists, ideas, people and experiences.

Micky will be sound-tracking the day between live acts, serving up deep grooves and global flavours all on vinyl.
