peripheral underground experimental electronica
home to grassroots live electronic music
across the wirral,merseyside and beyond
Moolakii Club Audio Interface is a Wirral-based DIY label, music hub, magazine and live events platform for peripheral and underground electronica. We provide a platform for experimental electronic artists and projects in Merseyside, the North West and beyond with our work across : cassette, CD and download releases; print publishing, interviews, reviews; and grassroots live events.
Moolakii Club exists to support artists working outside mainstream electronic music structures: bedroom producers, DIY artists, hardware performers, sound artists, ambient musicians, modular artists and experimental practitioners whose work does not always fit easily into standard live music, club or gallery contexts.
Our releases and publishing celebrate raw, authentic and exploratory electronica. We are interested in the music that grows at the edges: quiet scenes, small rooms, strange machines, home studios, local networks and artists making work without waiting for permission from the industry.
Alongside releases and publishing, Moolakii Club promotes grassroots live events in Wirral, Liverpool and the wider North West. Our main live project is Live Soundtracks to Silent Films, a seated event series where experimental electronic artists create and perform new scores to silent, early and archive film. The series has taken place at venues including Future Yard and FACT, supporting both established and emerging artists working across ambient, drone, modular, sound art, leftfield electronic music and live audio-visual performance.
The live soundtrack format gives audiences an accessible way into experimental music through cinema and moving image, while giving artists a distinctive context to develop new live work. It sits between live electronic music, film, sound art and DIY culture, creating space for artists and audiences who may not feel fully served by standard gig formats.
Moolakii Club also produces MCPM, a magazine and zine project documenting peripheral underground electronica through artist features, interviews, essays, reviews and scene writing. The aim is to give grassroots artists more context, more visibility and a physical record of work that can otherwise disappear quickly online.

**Manifest** physical releases for peripheral and underground artists on cassette, CD and print.
**Celebrate** raw and authentic DIY electronica while maintaining a strong DIY ethos.
**Amplify** peripheral and underground electronic music through live events, label activity, zines, interviews and online publishing.
