Plaid vs Red Snapper

staff — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 05:00:14 +0000

Two of the coolest acts from the past 20 years, together under one auspicious roof for an evening of absolute loudness!

Red Snapper are a band who defy categorisation, taking from a huge range of musical styles and genres to produce murky and hard-hitting tunes with plenty of depth. Previously on Warp Records, the band are known for their live and organic sound which has also included elements of dub, trip hop and drum and bass – all driven by the trademark sound of Ali Friend’s double bass.

Electro-techno wizards Ed ‘n’ Andy. The hugely influential Warp Records duo have toured the world and released many successful records, most notably ‘Double Figure’ which brought to a close a musical trilogy started in 1995 with ‘Not For Threes’.

Morcheeba Live

staff — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 04:00:10 +0000

After a much too-long break, plus a return to their most remembered line-up with the unmatched sound of Skye, Trip-Hop legends Morcheeba are back and bringing their acclaimed live show to Camden’s Roundhouse this October! Known for their super-chilled electronic sound on record, this brothers-led group have honed a pure live sound, surprising fans of the albums with the guitar driven intensity and stage presence of the live performances and leading to comparisons with 60’s San Francisco Jazz Clubs!

The sublime architects responsible for one of the truly seminal albums of the 90’s return with a new album more than matching their original chill-out brilliance. Talking about the sometimes tumultuous journey taken to produce this fantastic new album ‘Blood like lemonade’, band leader and DJ Paul Godfrey says: ’This is the record we should have made after “Big Calm” but we had to travel treacherous terrains to get back to our natural habitat.’ Followers of the band’s last decade may understand his sentiments here, but all you really need to know is the super-sultry Skye is back on lead vocals along with Paul on the decks and his Brother Ross on guitar and, as should be expected, the results are truly splendid

Dj Krush + Prefuse 73

staff — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 05:00:13 +0000

Soundcrash presents a night of hip hop for people who like to use their heads…

Dj Krush is the Sensei of Hip Hop. DJ Krush is arguably the most gifted producer & DJ in the world with a superb sense in mixing and composing who’s been lauded for years by both his domestic and the international audience and is probably the most revered and renowned Japanese musician alive. A former yakuza, his life is almost as incredible as his music, an unclassifiable blend of styles that can only be appropriately described as the Krush sound.

Prefuse 73 is the alias of Guillermo Scott Herren, an experimental hip-hop producer whose material often features MCs buried in the mix to become more a part of the sonic texture than a focal point. A very elusive performer, this is a rare chance to catch Prefuse 73 in the flesh.Tonight he will be playing an exclusive Laptop set.
