Old and new mastery of the electronic music world is represented at KOKO on the 20th November as Soundcrash rounds up three giants from the movement and three fast-rising new-comers and sticks them all on to one huge, opulent, bass-driven stage!

With a hugely eclectic career under their belts Plaid are currently going for the record of the most anticipated album of all time; ‘Scintilli’ has been on the cards for a year now and with still no release date penned-in we’re looking especially forwards to this appearance in Camden’s hallowed music-hall where we’re told we can expect some previews of their new material!

Formally signed to the spiritual home of progressive electronic dance music Warp Records, Red Snapper have now found their new home on Lo, with a shift from live techno-esque beatery to a more Jazzy flavour that has been capturing audiences around the world since their re-emergence last year. Their hugely energetic live shows are perfected by the supreme musicianship on show and we’re well excited about seeing it again on the Soundcrash stage!

What needs to be said about Luke Vibert? One of the very few acts to have been signed to Warp and Ninja; a man who’s fans are that loyal and, well, real, that he doesn’t feel the need for facebooks and myspaces and the like; a man with over twenty years of fine musical production under his belt and one of the most relaxed performers we know of. Luke Vibert, aka Wagon Christ, aka Plug, aka a-whole-host-of-other-aliases is coming back to KOKO to rip it up once more.

Conneticut native and San Francisco inhabitant Eskmo is Ninja Tune’s newest signing, and the young producer couldn’t find a more suitable home for his dark, textured, bass-heavy future-funk. With his awesome debut album ‘Eskmo’ coming out on the 24th October this young beatsmith is set for big things, why not come and be among the first to see him in full-live action?

Masaaki Yoshida, better known as Anchorsong to you and I, is a proponent of some of the lovliest electronic soundscapes you can find, anywhere. Sometimes alone with his drum-machine and keyboard, at others accompanied by a glamorous string-quartet, always a phonic treat - here’s yet one more rising star brought by Soundcrash to you for your discerning delectation.

Leeds’s ‘rock-tronica’ outfit Stateless have been winning acclaim everywhere they have graced the stage in the last couple of years, and with a new album expected on K7! in early 2011 the only way is up for Kid Kanevil and friends. Again, you’re invited to witness the start of something big with us at KOKO this November...

Hope to see you there!

Soundcrash is to commission an artist to create an exclusive and unique piece of artwork at each monthly Koko night. The audience will be able to follow the creation of the artwork on site and on the large screen, and then to bid for it on an online auction the week following the event. All proceedings from this auction will go to a registered charity.

We are honoured to have the very talented and sought-after Will Barras paint live during the Plaid vs Red Snapper night on November 20th. Will Barras’ work, currently showing at the Stolen Space Gallery in Brick Lane, can be at times dark, at times touching but always exudes a perfectly honed craftsmanship.

Will Barras Biography:

“Will Barras’ composition and fluid lines provide poignant detail in liquid abstraction. The subject matter is readily familiar, but captured in a manner that seems to jar time and space with psychedelic abstraction. It is his way of expressing the emotional movements of this labour. It is therapy and pleasure and necessity. Though Will is more passionate about Cricket, and even the art of the poached egg than he is of Skate or Snowboarding, he is hailed as one of the visual artists who best represents these influential creative movements. This is not only an indicator of his prolific work rate and good nature, his artwork featuring on all types of boards, clothes and mural campaigns, but more so of his unique voice, technical competency and sense of exploration.” Harlan Levey, Modart Magazine.

Will is in high demand both commercially and artistically. He directs for the animation production Company Bermuda Shorts and designs for other commercial projects that excite him. Alongside his commercial work Will rarely takes a rest from painting and exhibiting. Last year he participated in the acclaimed Wooster on Spring exhibition in New York which saw people queuing for over five hours to get in. He has also exhibited as far and wide as Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Brussels, Edinburgh, Mayrhofen, Oslo, Copenhagen, Bratislava, Cologne, Budapest, Warsaw and London.
