A night of live innovation starring acclaimed trip hop originator Howie B and pioneers of audio/video sampling Addictive TV, 10 long years since both artists performed a head to head in Tokyo!
The legendary Howie B has been one of the most influential figures in electronic music for two decades. He’s collaborated with Soul II Soul, Björk and Brian Eno. He’s produced U2, Tricky, Sly & Robbie and remixed everyone from Jeff Beck to Steve Reich. His long awaited new album Down With The Dawn, released in 2014 was described by Dazed as “perfect for a thoughtful morning-after-the-night-before”. For this special event, Howie B presents a totally unique improvised live set. Rarely performing live these days, this is truly a not to be missed opportunity.
"Addictive TV is one goggle box you'll want to stay tuned to" said DJ Magazine describing the electronic duo, who twice topped their annual visual DJ poll. The first artists sanctioned by Hollywood to remix movies, the producer/remixers have been at the forefront of the audiovisual scene for well over a decade and have played in a staggering 50 plus countries! On the night, Addictive TV present their new ever growing Orchestra of Samples project where they filmed recording sessions with over 150 musicians around the world, then sampled them! Five years in the making and described as “ingenious and compelling” by The Times, they spent 2014 touring the show while also filming, recording and creating new work which they’ll present for the first time, with live accompaniment from the Beatbox Collective’s Bass6, fiddle player and BBC young musician of the year Shona Mooney and live sitar from Baluji Shrivastav.
Support comes from Welsh wunderkind singer/songwriter Kizzy Crawford, named as one of twelve BBC Horizons acts for 2015. At only 16, she won the 2012 Arts Connect Original Singer-Songwriter prize and released the critically lauded ‘Starling’ EP the following year. A wonderfully innovative, sweet blend of jazz, soul and folk with the kind of high water mark song craft to rival Joan Armatrading or John Martyn.
