P45 live

A truly cataclysmic selection of the forerunners of left-field electronic music hits Camden's most prestigious venue this summer... If you can't make it to Soundwave this year, worry not, for the party continues in London Town!

Our all-time favourite funky, forward-thinking, experimental hip-hop collective The Herbaliser make a welcome return to form with their full 10-piece band in anticipation of The Herbaliser's "Herbal Tonic" 'best of' release on Ninja Tune in June 2010. Founded by Ollie Teeba and Jake Wherry during the 90s, the Herbaliser have been responsible for some of the most memorable releases during Ninja Tune's early years. Their unique fusion of Jazz and Hip Hop is best experienced when seen live, and in Koko's beautiful surroundings this promises to be a very special set full of good vibes, lush instrumentation and plenty of colourful sounds!

Tripped-out beat-makers supreme Anti Pop Consortium join them; one of the most unique and progressive hip-hop outfits in the world they've found the perfect mix of smooth rhymes, group wordplays and psychedelic bass-lines which they use to entertain the crowds at their shows in a distinctly APC manner. Classic tracks such as 'Ping Pong' blend seemlessly in to newer joints like 'Volcano', all tied together with some properly brilliant avant-garde beat jams and accompanied by the ever smiling faces of four blokes LOVING what they do! Its infectious stuff...

“As a reaction to the watered-down R&B regurgitation of mainstream hip-hop, APC are an unparalleled, post-modern music force to be reckoned with in any context.” Rolling Stone

"Part of an NYC avant rap underground that are pushing the music into brilliant new corners," Entertainment Weekly

"It doesn't take a genius to see why Thom Yorke likes them so much; like Radiohead, Anti-pop presents a dysfunctional update of their music, replacing the usual sense of community with one alienation.” NME

"APC continues to blow minds and fuck up those neat little categories we music journalists and record stores rely on. Their rhymes are hard, their delivery is tight, and the beats sound like a casio rapmaster and an SP-1200 fucking in the space shuttle. This is some ‘nother other shit.” James Friedman XLR8R

"APC are a Brooklyn quartet who can avant the shit out of the garde." LA Weekly

“The music is unlike any hip hop you've heard, more joy division than James Brown, with wheezy organ lacing the sci-fi bleeps with an eerie humanism. These rappers are energized by a weird and nameless force." San Francisco Weekly

“Anti-Pop Consortium lay waste to any lingering notions that hiphop and radical electronic experiments occupy different camps. The cracking analog jams throw all conventions into disarray. It isn't anticon or mush crews that will unite the two camps; it's these three sonic geniuses.” URB Magazine

“A NYC crew the upends mainstream hip hop orthodoxy with avant-garde production flourishes, slinky new wave keyboards, freaky basslines and incisively skewed rapping." Chicago Tribune

“Anti-Pop Consortium still deeply entrenched in a hyper-intellectual rap-as-concept-map ethos." CMJ New Music Report
