Expect a night of ambient-techno and serene electronica from the three members of A Mountain Of One whose music has already been tagged by Vice magazine as "future Balearic classics".
Mo Morris, Leo Elstob and vocalist/pianist Zeb Jameson will be presenting an exclusive live showcase of new material from the forthcoming EP & album. Early-70s fetishists, their songs, often 10 minutes long, are slow and meanderingly melodic and their ambition is to make the 21st century Dark Side Of The Moon - they have already been compared to Arthur Lee, Santana and Pink Floyd.
One half of Rub N Tug Thomas Bullock was once pumping beats into the heart of New York City's underground scene is a purveyor of seedy, risqué, hell-bent indulgence."We're into having a party. Music and having a drink and a good time" says Thom. "The first Rub N Tug night was a crazy night with 40 cases of champagne on the fire escape, fights broke out while we scratched records. At one point I played the keyboard with my bare ass. That's how it started; may it continue as it began".
The Time and Space Machine is a new project from Richard Norris, one half of Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve. This freak beat outfit counts influences from sunshine, outer space, quantum mechanics and wah wah pedals. Expect spaced-out Balearic AV craziness.
The New Electric Hi-Life is AJ Holmes's unique blend of West African Highlife music and British Electronic Pop. Highlife is a musical genre that originated in Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria starting in the 1920's - a hybrid of African and European music styles. Since releasing his debut album Holmes has been refining his technique, and through the use of digital technology to arrive at something totally and delightfully unique: the New Electric Hi-Life.
