José James' brand new album BLACKMAGIC is out now. It's the follow-up to his magnificent debut LP - 'The Dreamer' - and it doesn't disappoint, effortlessly straddling the spaces in between soul, jazz and hip hop in fine style. Wax enthusiasts hold tight for the limited edition EP (featuring production from Flying Lotus, Moodymann, DJ Mitsu The Beats and Tayor McFerrin). We've had a nightmare with the manufacturing (read more on that HERE) but it's on its way and worth the wait!!
Monster line-up this year, selling out in record time. Venue is The Garage, 20-22 Highbury Corner, London N5 1RD (opposite Highbury & Islington tube station) and we'll be running to a tight schedule so don't be turning up at 10pm and then moan that you've missed half the acts. Doors open at 7pm and we'll be kicking off promptly. Running order looks like this:
MAIN ROOM
Floating Points Ensemble // Andreya Triana, Fink & Bonobo // Awards Ceremony // Robert Glasper Trio // Theophilus London // El Michels Affair // Sbtrkt // dOP
ALTERNATIVE ROOM
Elan Tamara // Danay // Ghostpoet // Darkstar (DJ set)
***Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, José James will not be appearing.***
For those of you who weren't able to snap up a ticket before the event sold out, it's worth noting that there will be 50 tickets on the door, on a first-come-first-served basis. What's more, we will be letting people in after 11pm (provided capacity allows) at a reduced price of £15.

Synch your iCals folks! Yep - read it and weep - we got that dub-tech-2-step sh*t from the mighty Pangaea (check his new EP - awesome!), that low slung sh*t from Lukid, and that good sh*t from Mamik0, the bPm and Simbad. The sounds of Brownswood, Werk Discs, Kindred Spirits, Soul Jazz and Hessle Audio come together…. expect dubstep, Detroit tech, garage, hip hop and everything in between. Exploring the soulful side of experimental music for the dancefloor.
