Join in with the Worldwide Exclusive Launch Party for the new album from SCREEN. An explosive combination of Dr. Alex Paterson (The Orb), Gaudi (Digital Dubmeister) & Chester (Brilliant) coming together for the first time to produce a new long player.   The multi levelled realities encased in their debit is an ear-popping mix of electro dub, glitch rock, and ambient punk (!!) cooked up in typical London Dub stylee.

Our very own Jon Sangita is a Special Guest DJ on the night, spinning his usual blend of deep funky ambience and shamanic dub  along with the ambient wizard himself, Alex Paterson, so even more reasons to be cheerful

Be sure to catch up with the funksters in person for a dubbalicious good night out.

While its ten tracks sport recognizable elements from previous signature sounds, the spirit of collaboration turns the album into a three-way odyssey leaving musical barriers as distant specks on the horizon, the afore-mentioned dub pulsing in the lower reaches or splintering vocals, which sometimes use vocoder effects to lend a cold, futuristic sheen to the messages.
After the swirling pulsations of ’15 minutes’ and intoxicating strings and contagious bongos of ‘Frog Time’, the album ventures into the orchestral dronescape of ‘Gone phishing’ before the sugar-rush monotone funked-up robo-rap of ‘Just outside’. The electronic wind effect of ’Perfect’ turns loose a slo-mo dub-funk behemoth, goosed by sinister narrative which continues as Giorgio Moroder operates from the Clockwork Orange chemical toilets on the post-apocalyptic city prowl of ‘Section by section’.

QUICK NURSE, THE SCREEN!

After a generation of duos, the power trio is back, hotwired into the 21st century in the startling new form of SCREEN. But, where the threesome lineup, first propagated in the mid-60s by the likes of Cream, used guitar, bass and drums to rattle the roof, Alex Paterson, Gaudi and Chestar have conjoined to tear down the walls, powered by mutual obsessions with dub’s bass-propelled dislocation of Read more

Oumou Sangare is a sonic mystic singing the songs of eternity.  As Mali’s most prominent female vocalist, her beautiful selection to releases to date are all mesmerising insights into the magical music of Mali and the rich cultural traditions of her ancestors. This is a rare oppotunity to enjoy her music at a free appearance at the new Rough Trade East store

DATE : Friday 24th April, 1.30pm
LOCATION : Rough Trade East In-store

NO WRISTBAND OR GUEST LIST NEEDED, JUST COME DOWN ON THE DAY

Oumou is an artist who is proud of her country and its diverse cultures, now recognised and appreciated throughout the world. “Mali is a country of oral tradition, which explains why music and society here are part of each other. The 32 different ethnic groups here each have their own well-developed culture. They don’t need each other to make good music, even though cross-fertilisation is always good. There should still be a lot more recognition for Malian music. I deeply respect each individual artist in Mali. Our potential is incredible. Mali and its music embody the symbol of a free and victorious Africa.”
