Mad Professor + Glitchmob + DJ Vadim

Event information

Come and join Soundcrash at KOKO for a journey through the louder side of things, with some truly legendary acts bringing the noise and busting the bass-bins...

The one and only Mad Professor joins us tonight for a very special exclusive Dub to Dubstep Live set! No one better to bridge the gap between the genres, seeing as he pretty much single-handedly brought Dub in to the digital age. As a young teenager, the Mad Professor applied his passion for electronics and music and built his own mixing board, and started creating bass-heavy dub. Through his own Ariwa record label, the Mad Professor has released over 100 albums since 1981. In addition to his own dub and reggae work, which ranges from political to experimental to downright extraterrestrial, Mad Professor has remixed tracks for Massive Attack, Depeche Mode, Jamiroquai, Horace Andy, KLF and Perry Farrell. Legendary.

The Glitch Mob is a four man musical collaboration with roots from San Francisco and Los Angeles. What initially started as a joke/loose affiliation soon stuck as edIT, Boreta, Kraddy and Ooah found themselves frequently playing the same shows and eventually tag teaming during back to back time slots. This eventually led to the four man sonic onslaught of ferocious bass, head cracking drums and infinitely complex rhythms.Taking influences from hip-hop, experimental, and dance genres, The Glitch Mob have crafted their own form of futuristic dance floor hip-hop that has been flooring audiences world wide. Their live sets reinvent the dj 'tag-team' concept with four performers on stage at once, interacting like a jazz combo, each taking the lead at intuitive moments, interweaving their own sounds, and remixing everything on the fly. The result is a sound distinctly their own, blending the deep head nod of hip-hop with serious bass music, throwing genre distinctions out the wind!

Alongside The Glitch Mob (sort of) Dj Vadim aka The T-E-R-R-O-R-I-St will be bringing his weapons of mass destruction to the Koko dancefloor. After a wildly succesful US Tour, Vadim returns to London for his first big show since selling out Koko back in January!
