Event information
HYPE WILLIAMS
Hype Williams is an elusive project conceived by two "illegal immigrants" who for now we will know as D. Blunt and Inga Copeland. The duo are touring on the back of a super-limited LP on Carnival (hot off the press), with EPs out on Second Layer (September) and De Stijl EP (November) plus a Hippos In Tanks full length (March 2011) round the corner.
"What do we actually know about Hype Williams? ... an obscure, lo-fi form of dub-inflected half-pop as much akin to the post-industrial funk of 23 Skidoo and early Cabaret Voltaire as the scratchy psych of The Skaters et al ... music which fascinates largely because of its refusal to commit"- The Wire

HONG KONG IN THE 60S
Hong Kong In The 60s are a multilingual three-piece who formed in London in 2007.They are influenced by early electronic pop, 1960s Chinese music and Italian film soundtracks. Using their collection of old Casio keyboards, the group combine bittersweet pop melodies and atmospheric electronics to create what Sean O’Hagan of The High Llamas describes as a “lovely, understated and quite beautiful sound”.
