Infinite Livez & Roots Manuva
Want a strange night out? This is for you.
Big Baba’s Dada Yaga Hut
July 30th 7.30 - 12
£6 advance or free before 9July 30th sees one of the best live shows in town make its way to Corsica Studios. Part MC, part living art project, Infinite Livez has been causing waves of hilarity, revulsion and exhilaration since he debuted on Big Dada with “Pononee Girl”.
In Swiss electronics/improv duo Stade (plus the incredible vocal stylings of Joy Frempong) he has found his ideal live collaborators. Their two albums only hint at the madness that develops at their live shows, as they build whole new tracks from triggered samples, voices and effects. It’s a little like watching Kool Keith jamming with 70s-era Miles Davis, only wilder. And, for one night only, Inf and Stade will be joined onstage by a Very Special Guest - a regular at all their shows who has finally been persuaded to grab a microphone alongisde them for a one-off, truly unmissable collaboration.
If you’re not excited yet, you should be for it is the one and only Roots Manuva himself!!! . Support on the night will be provided by new Big Dada signing Speech Debelle. The first female MC to get a deal with the veteran label, Speech uses a troubled background as a springboard for fragile, achingly honest rap-narratives of self-loathing, fear and hope. Only too happy to rock the mic, tonight she will present an acoustic set and showcase tracks from her forthcoming album. Throw in DJ business from the one and only Jamie Big Dada and you have a sparkling Big Dada night to remember….

Ashok video
The new Ashok music video is excellent, can’t wait for them to post it online for all to see! In the meantime here’s a clip from the short set they played last night. (Excuse the bad sound, there wasn’t a desk recording made so it’s straight off my camera).
SOCPA movie screening
socpa - the movie is an important new film about the ’serious organised crime and police act’ which requires notice of any demonstration within 1km of parliament, and allows the police to impose conditions, either before or on the day of the demo.
It’s a really good documentary; shot and edited to a high standard and with enough humour and music to stop it becoming dry. There’s a free/donations screening tomorrow:
friday 11th jan 9pm
synergy centre, 220 farmers road, camberwell, se5 (map)
the film lasts 60 mins followed by q&a up to an hour
Here’s the trailer:

Queens English live, Brixton (video)
Queens English played a great set at the Jamm on Monday, here’s a track from their set. I shot this on a Nikon pocket digital camera - technology is getting crazy! It’s only missing a line-input (sound is from a minidisk desk recording). More video to come, and hopefully an MP3 of the full set.
Update: more video added and there’s some photos here:
