This is a Creation Youth night at Notting Hill Arts Club so it’s fitting to introduce the cast:
We finished our album last summer with Youth at his studio in Granada, Spain therefore it's only fitting he DJ on the night. We always aim for a very rhythmic sound which is bass heavy and features strings so who better than the man who played bass with KJ and mixed Bittersweet Symphony! We will showcase songs from the Spain session on this special night as a prequel to the album.
3head are originally a Brixton collective based around Calina de la Mare (arranger and player of strings), Ras B (toaster extraordinaire) and Al Macaulay (drums and piano, co-founder of Tindersticks). 3head have previously toured with Weatherall, On U, and all sorts.
3Head aim to showcase the new album and bring in special guests from the past two albums too: Uncle Fester on Acid has worked with On U sound for many years and his DJ sets are not to be missed. Warrior Queen comes all the way from Jamaica, an acolyte of Patra in Kingston, she has her own peerless style now. Sophie Sirota from Coastal Electronauts is mining her own seam of electric viola and gaining massive acclaim, she makes up the electric string section.
Described by Time Out:
‘’a beguiling mix of epic, steaming dub, flecked with frantic toasting, molten soul vocals all underpinned by deft breakbeats..Haunted and haunting 3head create a throbbing underworld all their own.’’
It’s going to be a big, beautiful evening.
Presented by Notting Hill Arts Club.
