// Slowpoke - April Parties & mix from Luca C, Shonky and Tiger & Woods
East London’s seductive Slowpoke camp deliver their sterling April offerings with two parties to keep heads turning and feet moving. On the 8th April is ‘Slowpoke - London Calling’ converging the best in home grown local talent then on the 24th their Easter special brings forward a trio of stellar live acts to stir up the senses. Slowpoke has been at the forefront of a new slew of innovative events across London, setting the pace with a gradual build up, ensuring they take the time to deliver a deep, warm and deliberate journey into the depths of the night. The party provides a rare chance to see talented artists in a small, raw urban setting for people who appreciate the finer details and who aint' afraid to get low. Tomorrow night Friday 8th April see's a yet un-annonuced East London Location (expect an email on the night) get torn up until 6am by artists from Slowpoke, Toi Toi, Dig Your Own Rave and Maura from Leftroom. Then make the most of your Bank holiday Monday as things step up a gear on the Sunday 24th April when among other rising stars, T-Bars's Gower Ramsey, Moscow Records co-founder Archie Hamilton and Bevarian born Claus Voightmann, who is resident at London’s admired Toi Toi events and has recently completed a stunning edit of Fink’s ‘See it All’ will be in control.
Tiger & Woods are also set to play live, fresh from shaking up the underground musical climate with an endless rain of edits. They have proven to be a cut above the rest managing to look into the future, while digging in the past, unleashing a vast arsenal of recognisable and exotic sources supplemented with original production to take the audience to undiscovered terrains that somehow feel like home.
For the final slice of live action Ben Westbeech will perform a live PA ahead of his new album on Strictly Rhythm. When Ben first burst onto the scene with his album ´Welcome to the Best Years of Your Life´ through Gilles Peterson´s Brownswood Recordings in 2006, we were little prepared for the super talented Londoner singer, producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist who comfortably creates music that draws on strong influences from R&B, drum´n´bass, house as well as obscure vintage soul and funk. With a voice like honey Ben is also a talented producer that eclipses a diverse spectrum of music, and looks set to be a highlight for the Slowpoke Easter Special.
Get your cans on and listen to the deep, seductive, juicy mix from Luca C, Shonky + Tiger & Woods to know what a treat you could be in for!
