The parties and workshops will run from September 16 through December 8.
Building on the success of last year’s European tour, the Berlin-based radio station Refuge Worldwide returns to the road this autumn, this time in collaboration with Carhartt WIP.
The parties start on September 16th, kicking off at Control Club in Bucharest, and end with a Berlin date on December 8th. Along the way, the tour will stop in Istanbul, Tbilisi, Brussels, Amsterdam, London, Ghent, Paris, Copenhagen, Cologne, Warsaw, Lisbon and Turin.
There will be sets from artists including rRoxymore, Sansibar, Hunee, Anu, Bradley Zero, Tikiman, Mala Herba, Andrea, Fernanda Arrau, Willow, Josey Rebelle, JADALAREIGN, Move D and Yen Sung, as well as station residents such as DJ Amir, Sally C, Stella Zekri, Ece Özel, Nikola, Nathalie Seres, Calamidades Lola, AGY3NA and mokeyanju, and co-founders No Plastic and Richard Akingbehin.
As well as the artists, there will be collaborations with partner collectives of Refuge Worldwide: Rhythm Section, Pleasure Control, Oramics, Kiosk Radio, European Lab, Root Radio, La Notte and HORS-SOL.
As with 2022’s tour, each event will be preceded by a DJ workshop taking place in the venue. One of the night’s artists will host a two-hour, free-to-attend session, helping participants through some of the lessons bedroom DJs learn as they progress to playing club gigs. Applications are now open. As with all Refuge Worldwide programs, priority will be given to people of colour, people from the LGBTQI+ community and those otherwise marginalised from such opportunities. Apply for the workshops here.
In addition to the tour, a limited edition Carhartt WIP and Refuge Worldwide clothing piece will be released in September.

jbiais@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt Work In Progress
Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) is a clothing brand that adapts and modifies the core products of the pioneering American workwear brand Carhartt to create its own collections. Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, the brand’s audience is just as likely to associate its iconic yellow C motif with late 90s hip hop videos or skate clips, as they are with factories or manual labor. This distinction is key in defining what Carhartt WIP does. Carhartt WIP engages with different cultural spheres: from Detroit and Berlin’s symbiotic techno scenes, to skateboarding and its communities that span Paris, New York, and Seoul, to the contemporary art world. The brand channels these influences, representing the culture which has formed around it. This can be seen and felt in its collections, its imagery, and its choice of partners and collaborators. Today, Carhartt WIP operates over 100 brick and mortar retail stores across Europe, Asia, and the US, as well as working with select wholesale clients.
