“This evening all roads lead to North London’s prestigious Jazz Cafe for the launch of Micall Parknsun’s highly anticipated ‘Me Myself & Akai’ album!
In keeping with the theme of the album, we thought we’d bring the beats to the forefront tonight, so expect to see a whole different take on ‘live’ Hip-Hop!
The man behind ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’, ‘Rapping With Paul White’ and countless beats for the likes of Danny Brown, Homeboy Sandman and Guilty Simpson will be stepping to the stage alongside the phenomenal Mo Kolours to give Jazz Cafe a dose of that sticky green medicinal dope-ness with his full live show! Drums, drum machines, keyboards, percussion… This dynamic duo will be showing the crowd exactly how to make them beats BANG! One Handed style!
PLUS: Drummer extraordinaire KWAKE takes time out from his relentless sessions schedule (Jehst’s live band, Speakers Corner Quartet, Aruba Red, Flutebox, Kate Tempest – you name it!) to give us a taste of his one-man show on drums and sample pads.
No stranger to the stage, APOLLO (formerly of Champions Of Nature) will be kicking things off with a special MPC set – showcasing beats straight from the machine.
Also in attendence, one half of Boot Records, turntablist DJ JAZZ T will be holding it down on the ones and twos for the duration alongside the one and only JEHST on hosting duties.
PLEASE NOTE – this event starts EARLY! Doors are 7PM-11PM and live acts will be kicking off at 8PM SHARP!”
