Electronic Against Hate

29th October at the Bullingdon, Cowley Road.

Let's party with a purpose -  get early bird tickets here

This special Electronic Against Hate lineup that features two of the most exciting and provocative female electronic artists based in the UK.
 
Anglo-French avant garde electronic artist Julia-Sophie headlines the main room at The Bullingdon. Her debut album 'forgive too slow' combines traditional songwriting roots with experimental electronica — intimate vocals backed by warm analogue synths and precise drum machines. Influences range from New Wave to folk confessional to house to avant-garde 80s pop. The songs narrate a story of self-destruction, love, and loss. By the end, embers are still burning — but there is a sense of getting closer to something authentic. This promises to be a treat for Oxford music fans already aware of her talent and a joy for those who have not yet had the chance to catch her live show.
 
Esoteric electronic artist Maria Uzor will be performing tracks from her brand new album, 'Fantasyland' and bringing her restless energy to the stage. Her music lands like a pirate broadcast from a distant corner of the galaxy. Inspired by both dark and light, order and chaos, power and vulnerability, she blends genres into new worlds, mixing electro, trip-hop, proto-rave, bass, and techno to create a soundtrack for the outsider in search of dance floor epiphany.
 
Support comes from Manchester born Oxford based solo DIY electronic vocalist Octavia Freud. He writes sardonic, funny and emotionally charged songs about the relationships he has with friends, family and the state. Expect some new politically charged songs from his latest side project with producer i4M2 called The Complex.
 
Oxford based DJ Simplex returns to The Bullingdon with his high energy Jump up Jungle and DnB mix style to kick start the party with what promises to be a special evening of joy, celebration and resistance.  

Oxford Love Music Hate Racism will provide their merchandise and information stall for the public to come and say hello and support the resistance against the rise of the far-right. All profits raised from the gig will go towards LMHR's community work promoting equality and fighting racism and fascism across the county.  

UNITE AGAINST RACIST DIVISION

OXFORD SAYS NO TO HATE  - FASCISTS NOT WELCOME

OPPOSE THE ‘STOP THE BOATS’ HATE MARCH

Assemble 1:30PM  Saturday 14th November, Carfax Tower

Oxfordshire Patriots have announced a “stop the boats” hate march in Oxford town centre.

They are part of a movement of ‘patriot’ groups who have been trying to whip up racist mobs on our streets.

Some of the recent ‘patriot’ protests have see violence against emergency workers, including the RNLI, that have lead to arrests (Oxfordshire patriots called, then cancelled, a protest at a local fundraiser for the RNLI!)

They support Britain’s #1 fascist, Tommy Robinson, and his hench-man Danny Tommo, leader of the balaclava wearing, paramilitary inspired, Patriot Platform.

Last year Oxfordshire Patriots held racist protests outside an Oxford hotel housing people awaiting outcomes of asylum applications.

The Patriots campaign collapsed in the face of larger public opposition to their hate.

Now they want to re-launch their racist hate campaign on Oxford’s streets bouyed up by the surge in protests by other far right  ‘patriot’ groups.

Their recent actions have been small, but they want to normalise their racist presence on our streets, and we cannot allow this to become normal.

They are also trying to build support for Raise the Colours leader Ryan Bridge who is on trial in Oxford for offences when he and Oxfordshire Patriots put up flags as part of a campaign of racist intimidation. Bridge is charged with multiple counts of abusive and threatening behaviour including one count of racially aggravated violence and common assault. 

Join us to drown out the Oxfordshire Patriots’ message of hate on 14th Nov.  

FAR RIGHT OFF CAMPUS

WHITE SUPREMACIST 

NATHAN COFNASS

NOT WELCOME IN OXFORD

Assemble 5PM Oriel Square,  OX1 4EW  

Reform UK claims that the recent revelations of extreme racism in its ranks are just a few bad apples.  Yet the Oxford University Reform UK society (OURS) has invited white supremacist Nathan Cofnas to speak.

Cofnas came to prominence for his role in a racist witch-hunt of Professor Jason Arday that lead to Jason's death after a sustained campaign, of abuse, harassment and misinformation.

Cofnas helped to propel allegations against Professor Arday into the national press, then racialised the attack, asking whether Cambridge was saying "the only way to have black professors is to abandon all standards".

Cofnas is a self described "race realist" - a proponent of "scientific racism" - who has called for a "heredetarian revolution" and defended research for genetic explanations for racial differences in intelligence. 

He has argued that, under a true "meritocracy", Black professors at Harvard would fall to almost zero, while black people "would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.”

Cofnas was sacked from Cambridge university after they found that a blog post amounted to a "rejection of diversity, equity, and inclusion".

Join the protest against the hosting of white supremacist Cofnas on campus.

Sign and share our open letter to support the protest and say white supremacist Cofnas is not welcome on campus https://oxfordstanduptoracism.org.uk/nocofnas
