On January 29th, we inaugurated Studio Néau, a free community radio station run from a converted shipping container in the Loten Park in Eupen. In 2018, the city of Eupen had an open call, asking for initiatives that could give the park a new vibe. From this, the idea of running a radio station from the park was born. Studio Néau will feature dedicated Meakusma-related shows next to shows done by local people, in line with the socio-cultural perspective of the radio station, giving opportunities to those looking for a platform. There will also be workshops for young people of the region, intent on teaching them how to produce a radio show. Studio Néau can be listened to online and onsite. All shows will also be archived, so everyone can tune in to a show whenever they see fit.

Now in its second year, the Outsiders Series at Brussels-based Kiosk Radio features an extensive array of radio residencies by labels, collectives, agencies, venues and clubs from all over the world. The roster is diverse and profound and Meakusma is very happy to have been involved in this since the beginning. Every month since January 2021, we have provided DJ sets and interviews with artists that have released or will release music on the Meakusma as well as other guests. All shows are archived and available through the Kiosk Radio website.
